the looming and ominous rolls for random encounters

The first couple hours of the trip back are reasonably calm. You’re not the only travelers on the road; fewer than at some times of year, when so many people are occupied with planting, but some people are still bringing goods south to market or heading down to buy items they urgently need, albeit mostly those who aren’t strong enough to operate a plow. A couple of them do inquire delicately as to why you have someone in manacles, but (whether they believe it or whether they simply don’t think they can take you in a fight) none of them give you any trouble.

Still, when you’re about halfway between Whistle Creek and the village just before it, you notice a two-wheeled handcart stopped by the side of the road, with a pair of older children standing by it, one of whom is crying. The cart itself seems to be carrying undyed wool fabric.

Drakor focused on the children.

Rolling for perception.

Canary looks at the children in anxious concern, trying not to let the fact she did look ring true on her face.

I will sense motive to attempt to determine if this is a setup of some variety. (If this doesn’t work don’t process)

(i find my luck has been pretty middling so far, just with a long spree of really bad rolls on things that ultimately don’t matter that much)

They’re both human, around twelve years old, though if you had to guess you’d guess that the boy (the one who’s crying) is a little younger and the girl is a little older. They’re wearing woolen clothing dyed brown with slight red undertones, and they both have light brown, curly hair, his coming down past his ears and hers to her shoulders. The girl is wearing a necklace, consisting of a leather cord with a large tooth (clearly nonhuman) hanging from it.

It doesn’t seem like a setup; they seem to be genuinely distressed (and not, like, monsters taking on the appearance of children, or anything like that). However, it doesn’t seem like the girl is responding very much to her brother’s crying, if that makes sense? Like, she can clearly tell that he is crying, and she keeps doing something with her hands for some reason, but she doesn’t seem to notice when he starts crying more loudly.

Wanderer tells the group about his intuition on the matter.
