"We are very gracious for your patience and understanding with us," Ink begins, "I am known as 'Ink,' but out of respect to the restraint and courtesy you have shown us, I present myself as Paelias." If there was a traditional and respeectful Uthgardt greeting that Ink would have learned about either through his studies or in past dealings with the tribes as a soldier of Silverymoon, Ink would offer it now. "Well met."
Then choosing his words carefully, "I know... generally... that the Uthgardt do not approve of us weave-users, but I like to think we're two sides of the same coin shaping the magic inherent of our world as we need, with balance in mind - much as you are doing now in suppressing the flames... my thanks for that. May I ask what tribe of the Uthgardt you and your people represent?"
// Somewhere, if the conversation allows, Ink will inquire as to why the Hunt Lords are a stabilizing force, and ask for the shaman's counsel as to whether their plan to see to the end of the wights the following morning is a wise plan of action. Ink will be honest and admit that they may still go through with it despite the shaman's advice, but it is better strategy to know more before committing to an action. //
// By the way, I've had this post open on my screen for like 2 hours LOL... busy season is rough. //
"Where do we find the wandering frost giant..." he pauses, "and should we kill the giant? Not all giants are evil, but when they are and they cross us they die."
""Marav," Ink leans in his direction, "I think we've heard of this giant before... Harshnag of the Force Grey. He is a more likely ally than an enemy - I hope."
"Oh... Harshnag... we are talking about Harshnag. Why didn't you say so? Any idea where we can find him?"
The barbarian continues to regard you warily, noting also Angel's defensive stance. Both of his hands are clasped now on his staff, and you can see that the pelt on his shoulders is not just that of a wolf, but a werewolf. It's unmistakable, the shape of the snout.
"As I said, he was last seen to the north. Less than one moon cycle ago, it was reported. Near the mountains you call Nether."
Ink approaches Angel and places a hand on his shoulder, "Relax. We're okay here. Had they wanted to take us down, they would have."
Ink regards the shaman with bewildered eyes, "You were impressed that we dropped a couple of wights... I'm far more impressed by the pelt you wear. That must have been a mighty hunt indeed!"

A grin plays on the bearded man's face. "You seek to flatter me...but you speak the truth. A souvenir from a more troubled time, when I was a much younger man." His stern demeanor has not changed much, but he nods to his warriors, and they lower their bows fractionally. "You should return to your dwellings now. The old forest is not a place for those such as yourselves, and we have camp to maintain."
"Before we go, I must ask, what is your tribe's totem? And thank you again for the hospitality and the generosity," Ink gives a respectful bow as he says this.

The man frowns and displays his tattoos, which you can now see look like branching trees. "We are of the Tree Ghost tribe...long we will be feared and respected in the old forest," he says. He and his warriors back off into the shadows, leaving you to the darkness pierced only by Rip's illuminated rapier.
If you return to the White Hart Inn, you'll see the innkeeper, Avgar Filroy, sitting up as your enter. He looks frightened, avoids your gaze, doesn't answer any questions, and only politely asks you to "please rest well, good sirs."
// Once you narrate yourselves setting up your long rest (if you want to set up watch shifts, cook meals, etc)...please INCREASE YOUR LEVEL! //
"It's a ritual so it's fine by me to do so. We should set up watches throughout just in case. Perhaps Flint can identify the hammer and swords before we rest so that we can attune to them if we find them useful."
// I'll assume everyone in the party is within ten feet of me when I cast so that they may enter and exit freely.//
Ink casts Leomund's Tiny Hut. While everyone goes about their business, Ink will spend his evening writing in his journal that which he has seen, heard and learned, work in his spell book and meditate.
Angel will make sure that the dogs are also in the hut and will spend his watch just absentmindedly painting a portrait of the dogs. Otherwise, he is asleep cuddled with the Cade and Scrappy.

Flint has nothing to say to these Uthgardt. They don't see eye to eye it seems. He'll stand casually, just listening.

Angel will also not say anything; choosing to just take a defensive stance in case things go down.
"Where do we find the wandering frost giant..." he pauses, "and should we kill the giant? Not all giants are evil, but when they are and they cross us they die."

Angel will follow the others to the room. And ask Ink “So, do you still want to do the hut inside the room?”

Rip will write the days events similar to Ink but in more of a story outline format before going to sleep
