Mother and Father

Quick note about time: y’all got jumped a little after midday, and assuming that you guys took a short rest for an hour, and an hour or so to give the hive a good search, there are probably about 4 or so hours of day light left.

Shortly after climbing up out of the ankheg hive, you guys see a wagon coming down the road from the direction of the Silverwood. Its a smallish covered wagon, being drawn by 2 small but very stout draft horses. As it gets closer you see what look to be 2 old dwarves, a man and a woman. The sure footed horses deftly maneuver the wagon around the carnage and holes with little guidance from the old man holding the reigns.
When they get about 20ft away from you guys, the old man stops the wagon.
He looks at you guys and says, “Looks like it was quite a scrap. Bunch of land sharks and Grome only knows how many bugs. Please forgive me forwardness sirs, but Mother here saw the children there and got concerned. Ye see, this much meat and bug on the ground is sure to attract trolls. Now if ye lads are the ones that done this, then ye might not be so worried about a whole passel of trolls. If ye just happened upon this like me and Mother here, then ye might be needing a ride out of here. We got room for all of ye up here, and we should just make the next way house by dark if we hurry.”
As the old woman looks at those of you disguised as children, she has a look of genuine concern in her eyes.
