Penton looks over to Ashern. "I do agree. In my experience, we ought expect the worse. I hope, though, that it's nothing." Penton nervously handles the hilt of his rapier while eying the tips of the dense fields. "I would like to scout the perimeter through the tall fields. I can carefully make my way through the wheat and corn fields around the farmhouse. If someone would like to accompany me, too, that is fine. I just believe we ought play this smart. Just nod and I'll be on my way to gather what information I can." Having said his piece, Penton leans on the wagon, confident for the nod.

"Okay, I do not make the most subtle presence so I would rather stay behind. But if anything happens, for better or worse, I will do my best to go to your aid.", said Ashurn as he crouches down and tries his best to hide behind the tall wheat.

Bree moves from the cart, cautiously toward the house, she keeps her hand on the hilt of her sword "Don't do anything rash" she says to the others.
"Kremen, Kremen Yesley!" she shouts.
"I am Hand Bree Windrivver from Harons' Hallow, There's danger in these parts, are you there?"

There is a whistle and sharp *thunk* as a long-shafted arrow buries itself into the side of the wagon between Lester and Bree.
You hear a gravelly voice say 'ye'd be wise ter tell that little one to stay out my crops.'
Only then do you spot a withered but spry man of about 50 holding a bow nearly as tall as him about a hundred feet away. You can also see about a dozen more arrows stuck into the ground in front of him.
'Ye can tell mister Evendur he can have my land once I'm dead, and I plan on livin another hennert years!'

Penton's eyes nearly bulge out of his head, shocked at the sudden incoming arrow. "Ya could have run me through with that... Evendur, kind as he is, had us come check on you. We're not here to take your damned land. We came here to help, so by the gods, put down that damned bow and let us talk like civilized folk," Penton proposed to the old man, holding his position; his hand on his rapier's hilt, in case things went in another direction.

I want to make clear that I am being very assertive here, so let me know if I should make a [Possibly Cha: Intimidate?] check here.

You hear a raucous cackle. 'If I'd wanted to shoot ya, I'da done'er!'
Penton:
Yes, that would be the appropriate check for what you're trying to do.
Heron is impressed with Penton's challenge, and watches the old human to see how it plays out.
