So, any updates? What do we find?
Lone Wolf I: Shadows on the Dorn

"Well then, if it was Zane, this place we are planning to appropriate horses might very well be a trap, good dwarf, so keeping that musket of yours on hand is likely a wise idea," Moon's Brand chimes in. "On the other hand, if it were Shof, then this is likely a place where we will actually find some help and horses to be loaned. We should all be on our guard as we approach the house. Keep your eyes peeled for anyone on the roof, in the trees, or otherwise obscuring themselves from our sight." She begins to walk cautiously towards the village, letting the better tracker Silver Wind lead the way while looking for the stable-house that matches the description and location that Zane gave them. As she walks, she frequently calls upon her Discipline of Sixth Sense to warn her, and the others, of any hidden dangers.
Just a quick note, I can't discern threats from living creatures yet, only inanimate threats. This means for the time being, the snakes are still inconspicuous, but it did make for a nice story device earlier. Once we make level I can detect monsters, animals, people, etc.

The small group makes their way along towards Vanosa. At the rocky outcropping, Silver Wind detects quite a bit of disturbed dirt -- much what one would expect from, say, a Kraan. He theorizes that whoever the thieves were led the horses a distance, then released them and mounted their waiting Kraan.
Keeping a close eye out for danger, they make their way into the town. They see no danger, and the stablehouse Zane described is soon found. As they near the stables, they are greeted by a stocky, middle-aged man. The situation is explained.
"Zane! He's not passed through this way for a while. Oh well, an old debt is a debt all the same, I'm guessin'." The man leads you through his stables, pointing out four rather weathered-looking horses. "You two!" he calls to some young men in the back of the stables. "Take these horses to Zane and his camp," he says, getting the directions from Jesabela.

As Jesabela seems to be the party's spokeswoman at the moment, she keeps a friendly smile on her face while talking to the stablemaster. Secretly, though, she stays wary, inconspiciously watching the buildings and shadows to their sides. Hopefully one of the Kai remembers to watch our backs ...
After the party has taken care of the matter of the horses, Jesabela - cursing herself for not asking before they entered Vanosa - walks beside Hoagar and asks him under her breath: "What say you, Master Longbeard, should we leave the village and camp outside for the night, or dare we seek shelter here? Both may be dangerous ..."

"I would say let's seek shelter here and mingle.. and get some drinking done. If the locals are guilty of conspiring, one of them should talk after a few drinks!" says Hoagar. Mixing business with drink was always a fine way to do.. business, thought the dwarf. "You monks can sit with us and.. meditate if you're not drinking," said Hoagar.

Moon's Brand's suspicions are unfounded; the horses are not the caravan's.
Hoagar and Jesabela, at least, go to spend some time in the town's sole tavern, after arranging for some lodging for the night. Over the course of their "session", nobody says anything accusing other locals of meeting with the enemy, although they do mention that some Giaks have been seen about lately, and they haven't been seen for many lifetimes before that.

"Giaks uh? I hope you put a good axe through them as we did," says Hoagar, quaffing down some ale, wishing for Bor brew.
If there's not much more to be discovered, Hoagar settles down for the night. Are we sleeping in one room or several? I suppose the dwarf will share a room with Jesabela.

Share a room with her? He'd like that, wouldn't he? 
I suppose it will be more like "one room for the ladies, one for the men" ... Apart from reasons of decency, the Kai lords will probably prefer to have a wary eye on each of us two, won't they?
"Well, I suppose we should hit the hammocks now. After all, we still have some way to travel", Jesabela yawns. She still feels sore from all that walking, unused to it as she is. Then she arises from the table, heading for the party's rooms.
