The party moves in closer. The people here appear to be human, maybe numbering around 50 or so men, women and children. They seem to have built a small village of sorts here in the mountains, in a network of caves. They dress in animal hides and leathers, and those who are armed carry clubs, knives, spears, and bows.
Two such warriors, carrying spears, approach the party once they are noticed. One say something in the language of Ergot.
"Who are you, and what do you want?"

"Oh, dear. I don't speak Ergot, and didn't prepare Comprehend Languages today," Kori remarks. "Ravarie, can you help?"

Regar shrugs at whatever is said "I speak not the language either." the dwarf holds his empty hands up in a sign of peace.

Ravarie steps forward, and holds up her hands a little show that they don't mean any harm before she starts speaking the language that the tribal humans appear to speak.
"I'm Ravarie of the Phoenix Wing tribe, and these are my friends. We mean you no harm. We saw your celebration, amd we are need of a place to stay for the night. We wil lleave in the morning to continue on with our journey."

The guards seem wary of strangers, but whatever it is Ravarie says to them seems to alleviate their suspicion. Their grip on their spears loosens a bit, and while their demeanor does not become outright friendly, they no longer seem threatened. They say something to her, then move off.
"If you can stay out of trouble, you are welcome here, stranger."

"We are welcome to stay providing that we stay out of trouble," Ravarie says to her group before she turns back to the guards.
"What are you celebrating, if I may ask?"

Ravarie asks a question, and one of the guards pauses and looks over her shoulder before responding.
"Spring Dawning."

Regar relaxes his posture and lets out sigh of releif "Well at least that wen't well enough."

"How well is well enough? Is that better than just plain well?" Kori idly wonders. "Is it possible for something to go too well?"

Grubnick chuckles. Well, to me 'well enough' means nobody is actively trying to kill you or prevent you from doing what you intend. So yeah, I think 'well enough' is the perfect assessment of this encounter. He winks at the dwarf in a fashion of camaraderie and motions for him to join him. The goblin heads off to set up his bedroll near enough to one of the fires as to be warm but not in the way. He watches the festivities and activity of the tribes-people with interest and fascination. If any approach him he will be pleasant and offer them kind and patient greetings or attentiveness in any languages he knows.

He will forego the usage of the ring, so long as no one becomes openly hostile

Ravarie, Kori, Grubnick, and RegarAfter another hour or so, the sky darkens and the stars and moons begin to come out. The source of the smoke is closer now, and they can see the orange glow of a large fire--a bonfire, specifically. There is a small tribe of people living up here, and people seem to be celebrating something around the bonfire. They can hear voices and laughter from a distance. HunnerHunner leaves Zalura behind and goes to see Katzsrutt, still in his guise as Reynolds. 'She' is currently in 'her' room, preparing for the day when he arrives. "Ah, then you have come to see reason then. Good. But what of the elves? Did you deal with that problem?" "The elves? They have left to their own mission." Hunner say. "Now let's plan the assination"

Ravarie nods to the guards in understanding, then motions for her group to follow her. "They are celebrating Spring Dawning," she says. "I had almost forgot it was spring."

"What sort of...thing is Spring Dawning?" asks a curious Kori.

"The celebration of the...dawning...of spring?" Sorrith says, slowly and rather incredulously.
"Honestly, even a gully dwarf could have put that together," Lalora adds. "I sometimes wonder how you even managed to survive this long, I swear." She shakes her head at Kori.
Grubnick keeps his hood up and stays close to Regar. Nobody seems to really notice him, as a result, and consequently, nobody bothers him, either, as they presumably mistake him for another dwarf, or perhaps a small child.

Regar joins Grubnick after agreeing with his assessment of his use of "well enough" "Yup Grubnick has it right we are alive nobody is trying to kill us actively so well enough."
