Subject Making camp, guests

The party is about a week out of Halburg. It is later afternoon and the rangers have begun looking for a place for the party to camp for the night. ?There is a hollow off to the south a bit up ahead. There is a small stream running through it and it has a small stand of trees that will shelter us from the wind.? Bel reports. Ran nods and the party heads the direction the rangers had pointed out.

The party is surprised when they top the small rise leading to the hollow. There is a group of people already making camp. A tall human points to the party and the rest of them stop what they are doing. Several of them quickly ready weapons but make no other move. One of them, a female dressed in plain traveling clothes holds up her hands and moves toward the party, slowly. A couple of the other people in the party have crossbows at the ready and a couple have longbows. ?Hail friends? the lady shouts at them from about 100 feet away, ?what can we help you with??

OODM: The party at the bottom of the hollow is clearly visible to all of you. There are 7 of them. The lady in plain clothes who is approaching you. There are two humans, a male and a female dressed in leather who have light crossbows out. There is a dwarf in a fine chain shirt whose face is covered by the cowl of his cloak. There is a female elf dress in a fairly revealing outfit. There is a half elf with two sword strapped across his back and there is another human male dressed in studded leather with a longbow.
