Umbriel and Droop will haul the chest back down to the cart and get the animals ready to go. Once everything is loaded, Umbriel will stay with the cart, trying to puzzle out why the old woman was just so darn creepy.
Baeshra rejoins the others, transforming back to his normal form, sharing what he found, “Can anyone think of a reason why the mad lady has a pile of semi-animate bones in her attic?”
Umbriel shivers at Baeshra's news. "That is an abomination. She doesn't seem overly aggressive, but I do not like this place, and would prefer never to come here again."
Nyx pips in. "Well..." she quiets down to a whisper, "Urgala from the Norshield House was horrified when she learnt we had decided to stay here. Says she will give me a discount of we stay at her inn... and there is more to it than that. Tolmara is the towns old crazy lady. Apparently she went mad when her husband Mirak left town with another woman. Only thing is the only person who witnessed him leaving town was Tolmara... Mirak has never been seen nor heard from since. A coincidence that this place is haunted by the bones of a dead person. I think not!"

Tolmara comes around the corner. "What's this now? How did you find out about my no good husband? Left town with a hussy he did."

Tolmara believes what she says. You get the sense that she is crazy.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nyx hands Whistler whats left of the bottle of wine she liberated.
"We should be going. Lot's to do.
I know where the Lionshield Coster's building is, as well as the blacksmith and harness-maker, which could be worth a visit. I think we should also go talk to Darathra Shendrel as well. He's the Lord Protector of Triboar and should be able to tell us more about the area and what is going on. I learnt that not only have a lot more ogres and Uthguard barbarians been wandering the hills around town recently, but a lot of Hill Giants have been spotted as well."
Nyx leads the way to the Lion's Share, which is the outpost of the Lionshield Coster in Triboar.
You all are surprised at the size of the town. It is quite a bit bigger than Phandalin, and there are lots of people out and about.
Those of you who go into the Lion's Share are greeted by two younger humans, a male and a female. The male looks up from his ledger: "Welcome to the Lion's Share! I'm Narth Tezren. I run this place with my partner here, Alaestra Ulgar. What are you looking for today?"
"Good morning, sir. We are here with a shipment from Phandalin." Umbriel gestures at the cart. "We'd also like to see what you have available. Either in goods or in news."
"Oh great! We've been expecting something from Linene."
Alaestra steps forward and reads the letter from Linene. She looks the group over. "Thank you for bringing the shipment. Did you have any trouble? Narth will take it from here. Excuse me for a moment." Alaestra runs upstairs while Narth takes the mule and wagon around back.
Alaestra returns with a gray Bag of Tricks and hands it to you. "Linene said to give this to you as payment for bringing the shipment."
They've got standard provisions and animal feed, along with adventuring gear, some armor and weapons. Does anyone want to buy anything?
"Oh yes, we can silver anything you want. Silvering a longsword will cost 100 gold and take a few weeks. But if you don't have one you want silvered, we've got a couple new longswords that are already silvered. I'll sell one to you for 110 gold."
Lyngheid looked around, she'd quite enjoyed staying with the mad woman...though she felt that she should come back and see if the Mothers blessing would ease the poor dears addled mind.
She had not used too many provisions during the journey so needed little from the store, she simply watched the others make their purchases.
"That would be excellent, thank you." Umbriel hands them 110 gold pieces worth of coinage (79 gold, assorted silver and copper pieces) for a silvered longsword.
Lyngheid is going to keep an eye out for an ornery looking mule that looks like it can defend itself.....or possibly a large angry goat that won't mind carrying packs....

They have been there for several years, and they are human.
When you crawl over them they suddenly animate and walk around for 30 seconds before crumbling to the floor again, still looking out the window.
Make another insight check.

Yep, you are disturbed, but don't get any harmful vibes from her.

Whistler sips on his trusty firewater.
"Whistler can handle *skeleton jingling noises*, but Whistler CANNOT HANDLE A DRY INN!" The angry little Kenku foams at the mouth.

Baeshra nods, "After we drop off our goods, he might be worth a visit. He may be interested in crazy lady's attic bones too."

"That is mighty generous of Linene" Nyx says as she reaches out and takes the bag.
"Trouble? Well just a few wondering ogres but nothing that a band of adventurers like us had any issues dealing with."
"Say I would not mind just a few crossbow bolts, just so I am stocked up. And maybe a ration or two."

Umbriel peruses the weapons, taking a good look at a long sword. "Do you have the capacity to silver a weapon?"
"Oh yes, we can silver anything you want. Silvering a longsword will cost 100 gold and take a few weeks. But if you don't have one you want silvered, we've got a couple new longswords that are already silvered. I'll sell one to you for 110 gold."

Narth and Alaestra also provide you with a map of Triboar.
Where to now? You'll need another mule, do you want to talk to Darathra Shendrel, the current lord protector of Triboar? Somewhere else?
