"I've got 5 arrows to spare, what would you trade for them? I know its not many, but they might come in handy on the journey home." Alminar feels a little pitty.
The younger male speaks up to Alminar. "We can try to answer any questions you have about the area, and we may have some rations or equipment you might find useful."
A female turns to Sanjay and says "They have been somewhat problematic, yes. We don't hunt them often, preferring to leave them to their wilds, but this one seems to have gotten a taste for adventurer blood."

Sanjay nods in recognition of the female's answer to his question. Then, to the younger male that is speaking to Alminar, Sanjay asks, "How about a map? Do you have a map of the area? We're heading for Salsvault." Then, he starts looking through his pack to see if he has anything that might help them capture the animal. He pulls out a hunting trap and asks, "How about this trap? Would that help you?"
"Oh, I have a map I technically bought, " Thistle says suddenly. She pulls out the map of Eiselcross she got from Verla's store and opens it. "Can you show us the best route?"
The third wildfolk scout speaks up at Sanjay's suggestion, an older female with thick hair tied into several knots down her back, looking kindly at him. "We will be glad to take the trap, thank you." She hands Sanjay a small pack of dried vegetables in exchange.
The male steps forward to look at Thistle's map, at first seeming confused, but then he looks out over the wilds before him, and back to the map, and finally says "Here, I think, is where you should be headed. The land moves like the picture here does," he traces his finger over the curves of what should be the edge of mountains and hills to the East, "and this little enclave seems to be the source of many troubles. Salsvault. We do not go there."
You look to where he had pointed, and see on the old map "Aeor Crash Site". He continues, "Probably a few days walk. About 180 or so miles from here. By the end of your day, you'll nearly reach Thin Sheets. Stay safe, and don't trust many of the creatures you find." He nods at Alminaras he takes the offered arrows. "Thank you."

Sanjay takes the dried vegetables and says, "Thank you for these. I hope you're able to safely stop the threat against your people. As sad as it makes me to see a creature of nature harmed, unfortunately, brute force and violence are necessary to stop a threat."
All 3 scouts nod in thanks, and packing up the arrows and trap they head on their way.
You see some wildlife throughout your journey, smaller animals mostly. Noon becomes evening, and by late evening you come to an area that is mostly open land, with patches of trees scattered here or there. The moon is rising, and is starting to cast blue shadows. The temperature dropped steeply about 30 minutes before.
For Thistle:
You're the only one with passive investigation high enough to notice a large object partially hidden by one small patch of trees to your Northeast. The late time of day doesn't help, and it gets dark here early, but it looks very round, and not much taller than you, if it is at all. It doesn't move.
((Do you all want to travel through the night, or find a place to camp? You've traveled about 33 miles today.))

"I think we should keep traveling." Senine says. "I'm used to little sleep and long walks. Not sure how the rest of you feel, but we've still got a long way to go, and we can rest up when we've closed the distance."

If you think my puns are bad, I'll remind you, my profile pic says otherwise.
Thistle holds a finger up. "Hold up a sec, I think I see something I wanna get a closer look at," she says, pointing vaguely towards a small patch of trees.
Sanjay, not sure what Thistle is pointing at says, "Well, we should all probably stick together. So, if you're going over there, then I'll head there with you as well. And, maybe it's the tropical upbringing in me, but not knowing what dangers lurk in the darkness out here, plus with how cold it's getting, I would prefer that we make camp and start a fire to warm ourselves up."
Senine cracks her knuckles, sighing. "I don't like that we're on a clock. I'd rather face a bit of danger and some cold to get the cure back to the people who need it before it's too late then play it overly cautious, but I'll bow to the majority. My life isn't worth more than that families."

As you all head over to the tree line, Thistle in the lead and Salembringing up the rear, the object begins to take shape.
Finally, once you're within 5 ft. of it, you realize it's a 3-foot-tall, approximately 50-pound egg. It's white in color with a bit of a shimmer, and what looks like a frozen sort of nest built around it.

"What the shit!?" Senine says, looking at the huge egg. She tightens her grip on her mace and hefts her shield, looking around warily. "I don't know what massive beast laid that, but I'd rather we not wait around to find out."

"'Fraid not, sorry. Never been one for ranged fighting." Senine says with a shrug.
"I've got 5 arrows to spare, what would you trade for them? I know its not many, but they might come in handy on the journey home." Alminar feels a little pitty.
"Just out of curiosity," Sanjay asks, "why are you hunting these beautiful large cats in the first place? Have they been hurting your people?"

"Well...maybe its been abandoned and we could keep it as a pet," Thistle says optimistically.
Would Sanjay know what kind of egg that is? I'll give you a few rolls in case any one of them would help.

"Oh my. That is quite a large egg." Alminar says, trying to rack his brain and figure out what laid it.
