"Hrmph? Eh, coming..."
Kroshav rolls out of bed and emerges from his tent, stretching.

Re: Tests and Trials
Another voice coming from near Jaq but from his other side hisses something and the goblins with the bags toss them down. Jaq watches as they start to scatter in different directions away from the camp and him.
((Can I get initiative rolls from Jaq and Kroshav, only if you want to pursue them though.))

Re: Tests and Trials
Kroshav may not have seen, so will only spring into action if Jaq does, otherwise he's yawning, scratching himself and checking in mentally with Ealu to see if she knows what's going on.

Ealu responds she can't see anything and everything smells the same as it did before, more or less.

Re: Tests and Trials
Jaq has no desire to go after the goblins at this time.
Instead he states, even a bit louder than what he talked last time, "Yes, we do have visitors. There were some goblins walking nearby but they have left now, and there are at least two someones here, who are very good at hiding and who I still can't see, but who have spoken to me. I'm impressed with your stealth my friends, should we all come out and talk?"

Jaq gets no reply and the goblins he could see scramble out of sight.

Re: Tests and Trials
Jaq wlil move out of hiding, and walk over to where Kroshav is. "I'm unsure who is here with us, I cannot see where they are hiding, but they did speak to me. They might even be invisible. There were four goblins walking over there, but one of the voices said something to them and they ran off. And dropped whatever they were carrying in a sack over there, too."

"Hmm... Cover me?"
Kroshav will go retrieve the sack and bring it back to look at what it contains.

(There were multiple sacks)
The sack Kroshav opens contains what looks, and smells, like dried meat.

Jaq nods at Kroshav's request for cover.
He will have his bow ready and follow him close enough to stay in sight.

"Jerky?"
He'll go check the other bags if he's aware of them.

Re: Tests and Trials
There are two more fair sized bags, one with flatbread and another with dried fruits and vegetables.
Jaq sees a smaller pouch a short distance from the bags as well. The pouch contains a few rough rocks and a folded piece of tanned leather. In some sort of ink the word Ves is just discernable on one side of the leather and the other is a language neither Kroshav nor Jaq can read.

Re: Tests and Trials
"Ves... We better wake Lurn, let him have a look."
Kroshav will poke his head into the dome, circle around to the firbolg's side and gently wake him, beckoning for him to come out.
"You got your reading hat on? What do you make of this? Jaq spotted some goblins with bags, they dropped them as they took off, but we found this... might be something to do with Ves?"
Kroshav's looking a bit worried for their friend they've not seen in what feels like years.

Excellent. XP
"Reading hat? Oh, right, forgot I had that thing. Hang on one moment." Lurn fetches his magic helmet and puts it on as he leaves the hut, having a look at the note. "Either way, we should probably leave those bags. Once we're gone their owners can come back for them without thinking we're a threat."

Re: Tests and Trials
Lurn is pretty sure they are berries, delicious berries.

Re: Tests and Trials
Since Kroshave didn't mention it..."Lurn, There is also someone or something else here, watching us. Very very good at hiding, or invisible. They spoke a few words to me, but didn't attack or anything. I'm assuming they are sill here. They spoke a few words to the goblins and they dropped these bags and ran off in fear."

What are rocks?: 1D20-2 = [12]-2 = 10
((Jaq, you're selling yourself short! You're not as slow as the Big Dumb Boys™, that's a +1, so you've got a 2 on that INT check!))

Correction: Lurn thinks they might be tasty berries.
Kroshav is unsure if there is anything special about the rocks or if they were just pretty?

Joe’s per sleepy [1d20] = 7
Joe stirs in her sleep a bit, pulling the fancy cape blanket up.
(it’s shiny and she can’t use it as an actual cape, but it’s large enough for a large blanket for her!)

Re: Tests and Trials
(OOPS, I really sold Jaq short. I copy and pasted Lurn's roll somehow rather than Jaq's. Jaq rolled a 20, glad I could go on the roller site and pull it up.
Here is the real roll.)

Re: Tests and Trials
On closer inspection Jaq recognizes the rocks from a few that his dad had kept, they are unpolished gemstones! Given their size they are probably worth about 25 GP a piece, but probably only to people that know what they are. Other people might try to eat them thinking they were berries.

Jaq will scoop of the stones and place them in his backpack.
"So, whoever is watching us, care to say any more? or come out and talk?"

Re: Tests and Trials
Jaq's question is met with silence, or as close to silence as one can get in a nighttime forest.
