Teth follows Helicrates, but much less bold. He guesses that the woman inside is the bone witch and that she is angry. No need to present himself as first target to her wrath.

Durzo thanks Crimp and shakes hands to seal the deal.
<<OOC: Hard currency works for me.>>
Catching up to his companions when they arrive at the hut, Durzo looks around with some wariness. Bringing up the rear as they enter, he mutters to his companions, "Hope the witch isn't upset that we did not spend the night to prevent the inconvenience of her unwanted visitors."
<<OOC: Notice taking 10 for a 21.>>

OOC: Just been having a quick think about currency in Kindle - I'm going to say that Goble has paid you in total 300 Houses for your services to date.
A night in the Tavern costs 20 Houses each.
Durzo's blade fetched 100 Houses, largely due to the poison coating.
Split the funds as you like, and just deduct for the cost of the stay in the Tavern.
I'll come up with some price lists of things in the market over the weekend as well.

[sblock=Durzo]As you arrive at the hut, on hearing the woman's voice you notice that it doesn not sound like Candour. It lacks the sibilant rasp of the old witch's rotten tongue and sounds, indeed, younger and more alive.[/sblock]
On approaching the shattered door, broken and dirtied crockery is seen just inside the doorway. It appears that the few accrouments of civility Candour possessed have been cast to the floor.
Inside, the witch's hut has a simple layout with one large room and a single table and chair next to a large empty cauldron. There is another room to the rear, with no door and a broken, disused single bed can be seen. The floor is dirty, debris littering the it and crunching underfoot. Carefully arranged on the old wooden table, however, are bones. In a some sort of pattern it would seem.
Standing over the table, staring intently at the bones, is a tall and slender woman. Wearing tight leathers that have been dyed a dark green, she holds one of the bleached bones in her gloved hand. Two small daggers rest in a belt on either side of her hips.
As you enter, her head snaps up from the table and she glares at you angrily. Her skin is pale, with freckles around the nose, and flame-red hair is tied into a rough pony-tail.
"Here to check on your little witch?!" she hisses, one hand reaching for a dagger "I suspect she is out harvesting again, but perhaps you can tell me more.."

Durzo casually draws his bow while still having the woman's view blocked by those in front of him. With his bow in hand, he steps around from behind Teth and looks at the intruder asking his companions, "Is she Red Sonja or Pippi Longstocking?"
He adds a suggestion to the woman, "Not sure you want to try tangling with us all by yourself lass, we are a rather large morsel for you to try and swallow."
<<OOC: Sleight of Hand +12; Bluff +8. Taking 10's if possible, roll for me if not.>>

The woman's eyes remain on Helicrates as his head gently touches the roof. Her mouth opens slightly, astonished but quickly recovers. Relaxing her hands, she replaces the bone on the table.
"Well" she says, "That was not quite what I expected..."
Moving to put the table between you and her, the woman casts her gaze over you all.
"The old witch certainly chose some proficient bodyguards" the woman cocked her head to one side, "What does she promise you? Power? Youth?"

"I warned you, woman." The giant Helicrates uses his now long arm to reach the woman on the other side of the table. The massive swing aiming to the woman's torso.
OOC: Having reach 10 ft, Helicrates can attack the woman (presumably). Using All out attack Drops 2 defense, adds 2 attack. 18 to hit. If hits, Toughness DC: 25 and paralyze Fort DC: 14
