Storm King's Thunder

Flint's also headed to the inn four a tankard and a chat with Morak.

"Felt like weeks to us too... Couple close calls but we are here now. Any idea what riled the Giants?"

Rip will go to the inn to talk to Morak about a meeting between the villagers and the goblins to discuss a peaceful resolution to their conflict

Flint's also headed to the inn four a tankard and a chat with Morak.

"I'm sorry for your loss dear friend. I will pray to Lathander for a swift recovery here. On the bright side, I think Rip, the halfling, is trying to negotiate some sort of treaty with the Goblins with your village leader. Hopefully, you and the Goblins can work something out and help each other. If you don't need any help I'm going to find my friends at the inn."

"Ah never heard o' no pint. Make mine a pints! Haw haw!!"

"All jokin' aside, do ye have what ye need ta shore up 'ere? Got a smithy 'ere? Me armor an' shield took some wear."

As you enter, Morak gives each of you a pint of ale upon request, asking after your general well-being and waiting for the others to gather before continuing.

// If you haven't already, please make sure to level yourself up before we go on. //

"Morak - well met and thank you for the pint," Ink says as he reaches out and shakes his hand. "I come from Silverymoon, when you have a moment, I'd like a word, I'm sure there's news to share. And I agree with you, a treaty with the local goblins would be difficult, but with that said, the others make a good point - allying with them could bring stability to the area. As far as gestures, they were kind enough to let us be in our sleep when they came to seek water from the cavern we slept in."

"Well for starters, one of those Ogres learned what being eaten feels like and we have brought them under new leadership, it wont be easy but there's been enough death here"

"We also killed most of their fighters, that can't help but smooth the way. The villagers do have reason to hate them, but we killed the ones who did most of the atrocities. Also, if it weren't for their new leader Beedo then I don't think we could have saves as many as we did... if any."

"As for the Nightstone... any village elders who might have more an idea what legends might have surrounded that. I'd like to know why it was taken, I don't want you to be attacked again. Would kinda ruin the story our bard will be telling."

"you can get a sample of sorts here!" Rip says as he hands Morak one of his books. "I'm not asking the villagers to forgive, just not to be blinded by hate"

"Just how many of those things do you have anyway?" Marav asks genuinely curious.

“Yes, yes the goblins and villagers should get along. I’m more concerned about the fact that giants attacked your village. Have giants traditionally been a problem around here? Also, thanks for the pint.”

Angel will only sip his drink; not being a big drinker but not wanting to appear rude.

"Son, most of us have never seen a giant before, let alone been hassled by one. From all accounts, giants don't do this kind of thing. I'd find it hard to believe if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Probably would've made a 'tall tale' joke, heh heh." Morak laughed in spite of his situation.

"I only have 47 left... getting kind of low, I'll need to contact my copier for more soon"

"The giant activity was, unfortunately, expected... It's the reason I'm here. I was dispatched from Silverymoon to as many places in the north to warn the good people and have them prepare for activity from the giantkin. Nightstone was my first stop, unfortunately, it seems that I was sent out too late."

Motioning to the party, Ink continues, "These fine people also managed to square off against a group of Zhents and scare them off out of town.... and a group of orcs that came soon thereafter. They seemed bloody even before arriving in town. Not sure if any of this is related to the giant activity, but things just seem more chaotic... And in chaos, there seems to be a common theme or source. What are your thoughts Mondak? How active are the Zhents and orcs typically in this area?"
