Turning from his chat with Sukri without an answer Bayar strides toward the front door of the house as he hears the hail. "Hail, stranger. If the master be around, he be around unknown to us," he shouts back from the porch. Noticing the stranger is armed he hesitates. The group is scattered, just like last time they were attacked. "Step closer to the house, that we might talk without shouting. What shall we call you, stranger in the woods?"

The man takes a few steps forward, bringing him out of the trees and into the clearing proper. But he remains much closer to the woods than he does to the house.
"Walter. You can call me Walter."
Walter pauses for a moment, as if to give the rest of what Bayar had to say some consideration.
"So", he adds eventually, "Would you happen to know when the master of the house will be back? I was hoping to have a word before heading back into the village. I've got some furs that he might like. And I thought perhaps I might be able to pick up a little tobacco for me pipe."

"perhaps we just tell this man the truth? If I had any tobacco, I'd just give him mine."

First Post
"This forest is dangerous," Sukri adds, bobbing his head towards their captive. "It may be best to sleep here for the night."
Sukri hopes this stranger will bring more help than harm. Maybe he will divulge something that evasive innkeeper would not. And if this fur-clad man is an enemy, it might be better to keep him close...

Day Two
Walter listens carefully to what is said before nodding slowly. He seems to relax noticeably at the mention of Henri's name and upon being told the purpose of your visit.
"Well I have to admit to hoping I might be able to bed down here for the night. Out of the weather like for a change. But its not unusual for Henri to be gone. He can be a bit of a strange one at times."
From there the conversation is fairly mundane until Walter's attention is drawn to the gnoll*, which up until this point Walter had been ignorant of. Walter goes quiet and moves closer (but not too close) for a look. After a moment of careful scrutiny he carefully moves back out of earshot of the gnoll.
He has some questions. "Where did you capture him? Where are the others of the pack? What do you know of him?"
[sblock=OOC*]Where is the gnoll at the moment? You haven't said that you were moving him, but when everyone went to the house, I assumed that you took the gnoll with you.[/sblock]

Bayar
Bayar snorted at the mention of the Gnoll. "This thing? He ambushed Sukri in the woods, then fell asleep trying to run away. There was another with him that got away. This mighty warrior promises the rest of his hunting pack will come back tonight." Chuckling to himself, Bayar stands and moves to the doors and windows of the house to look out at the darkening world. "He probably not be a liar. Just ignorant. Though Henri knew their alpha male. I don't know what to make of that, never heard of the man before he vanished. Still, I will go stand sentry for awhile. My bones be resting uneasy tonight."
