The lady looks over to Den. "I am a child of this earth and a protector of all that is nature. I along with my brothers seek out those who would cause harm to this place. We have heard of a new structure not of this place that may be harmful of nature. We are out to scout this place and remove it if needs be."
With relief, I lower my crossbow and step up. "I believe we know of the place you seek. Those responsible for it have gone to great lengths to avoid causing such harm."
Hmm, it may be best to avoid any further misunderstandings with this group, "Dennis, I think this is worth cutting our trip short for the moment. Shall we escort these three to the settlement so they can see for themselves?"

"Yes, I agree with you Jason. I would add to what Jason says. I am a protector of nature too and I would gladly ally with you if this structure were causing nature harm. But it is as my big friend said, they live in harmony with nature by decree of their lord."
I pause, "Rachel, do you agree with this? You and Ghost were the ones most harmed by this. In this, you are our leader and I will follow your command."
I eye them curiously. " I feel the same way. I fight to keep nature unspoiled. Yes, I agree to this. Come with us. We will show you the truth. " I bend down to pet Ghost. " He wasn't going to harm you. He was holding you there so we could see if you were a danger. "
You turn to head back towards the stronghold to escort the three to the stronghold. The two figures in the back say something in their language again. She stops and turns to them and says something in the same language. One lowers his head and nods while the other one stares at her challengely. She walks up to him and while a bit shorter she Slaps him hard and says something else angrily. She turns around and begins to walk next to ghost not turning back to see if the two follow or not She will walk next to Rachel as they are about the same height. "Sorry about that Mistress of nature some just do not understand a helping hand when offered."
It will take about a hour to make it back to the stronghold. As you head towards the stronghold let me know how you are going to approach the stronghold with strangers.
I will ride well forward of the group, and we get close to the stronghold I'll hold the reins my hands but up high so they can see I am unarmed. I will call out to them, specifically the Sergeant I offered to help train his men. When they recognize me I say, "We are bringing in visitors. Please go inform Lord Douglas." I then wait for the rest to catch up and hold them there until bid forward.
Out of Character: We are going to work out a challenge and password next time. And a running password too.
