You see what I've described to everyone else. You also see a third body, that of an armed human by the back of the third carriage.

(Make a perception check if you are still running after him.)


(But I'm also dashing after the hobgoblin, so can I also make a check or is it because he's got a speed of higher than 30ft?)

The hooded figure too, completely loses sight of the hobgoblin as it escapes into the trees.

"Dammit," said a young male voice from beneath the hood.
He turns to the man beside him.

Some people in the wagons begin to assess any damage to the carts and look to see what was stolen. The horses begin to calm down.

-----


One of the people in on the carriage that you saw the hobgoblin take stuff from, a younger looking dwarf woman who looks to be in her mid 30s, curses quietly to herself after looking at inside the covered wagon.

-----


A man gets up from one of the first carts, a middle aged human. He addresses you.

"Thank you for what you did there. I'm not sure how we would have managed without that help."

"Unusual for hobgoblins to attack this far north, and this close to a town too. Anyway, it is what it is, We could have suffered a lot worse."

He checks behind him and assesses the readiness of his fellow travelers.

"Looks like we best get going. We were already behind time, without that attack. Good luck on the rest of your journey."

He goes back and begins checking with the rest of the drivers if they are ready to leave.

You return to the cart and continue your journey through the forest. After 20 minutes or so the road opens out, exposing a river crossing under the road followed by an upwards slope climbing between the two closest hills. You can see the rays of the evening sun fall on the trees behind you, your own position eclipsed by the slope ahead. Urdur speaks again.

"Its just up here. You'll see it shortly."

"Finally."

Silas looks out of the caravan, enjoying the sight of the evening sky.

As you say this, the caravan completes the majority of the climb and you find yourself looking at a sunset over a small mining town. Amongst the buildings there are a few groups of townsfolk in conversation but in the most part the town is empty.

"Welcome to Harrowhill."

As you get into the town. Urdur directs you to Harrowhills sole tavern, the Hidden Pig Inn. And then parts ways with you for now.

"I'll just make the arrangements for the wagons, get some rest. Tomorrow is the same arrangement as always, meet outside at the usual time if you are still heading with us. See you all later."

-----


The Inn isn't fancy but is well kept. It has a bar area with a separate dining area to the side. As you enter it is fairly empty, the only people inside being the innkeeper and presumably one of the regulars. The inkeeper is a blond haired dwarven man who is currently behind the bar. The other person, at in the corner of the room with a drink, is a male elf who is looks old, even for someone with some elven heritage.

(edit: Clarify wording to remove the long confusing sentence and make it clear that there were only two people in the room, the barman and the elven regular.)

Charlotte smiles sweetly at the three people in the inn.

"Oh my god, hi! It's so nice to meet you all!"

Charlotte turns to everybody else and whispers to them.

"Uhhhh, so what are we going to do? Just get a room?"

The innkeeper acknowledges your presence with a friendly smile but otherwise continues what he is doing, namely polishing glasses behind the bar. The elven man in the corner ignores you.
