You can tell it is nothing natural that has happened. Though you sense no danger around.

Koram steps closer to one of the frozen animals - a raccoon - apparently frozen mid-step. He looks it over, then around the area some more.

You are certain this is the work of the breath weapon from a white dragon. Though it seems it happened some time ago.

"Terrible power was wielded here. I would not wish to be caught by such a weapon. We should consider this a very fair warning of the potential danger we face. I fear there is not much else for us here, we should keep moving."

You walk on for a couple of hours before Tomas is able to hear some voices. Following the sound they lead to a clearing and as you get closer everyone can hear the voices. Sounds like someone arguing
"You do it!" a male voice says.
"Why me?!" another voice, this one female, says.
"You drew the short straw," a third voice replies. This one is female as well.

Koram holds up a hand to signal for stealth then moves closer, hoping to catch sight of the ones talking. Haitith follows close behind.

Koram gets closer and see a male halfling in breastplate arguing with a female half-elf in leather armor and a kitsune in blue robes. They don't seem to hear Koram but turn towards Haitith and Tomas. They all bear the marking of the Mendevian Crusade.
The halfling draws a longsword and turns around. "Wh-who goes there?!"

Koram hangs back, as it seems his position is not yet given up to the strangers. 'Haitith, he says telepathically to his friend, 'Speak with them and let me be your eyes and ears.'
Haitith steps out of the foliage into view yet staying at a distance. Koram enters his mind to be one with the eidolon's senses. "You are meant no harm, I was merely curious at your presence." Koram uses his mind to speak through Haitith, giving him - he hopes - the right words to say.

"The white dragon's minions!" the halfling exclaims in shock.
The half-elf grabs for a short sword at her belt, but while simultaneously back off, she fumbles it and it drops into the ground.
"I'll take my chances with the ghost," the kitsune utters before her arms start moving to cast a spell. As she does a translucent shield starts floating in the air around her.

Iroven went out in the front and screamed, "Wait! What are you all doing?" He stands in front with full armor and showing the crusader pattern design in his breastplate. "We are not the minions of White Dragon. I was a crusader once."
Rolling diplomacy. Is our hero points refreshed?
OOC:
I don't know if we have detailed the backstory of Iroven before, but since he is the only one wearing full plate armor, I think I remember making him an ex-crusader. Someone who got lost in these frozen lands, broken and injured, and the Broken Tusk nursed him back to full health and took him in. That's why he fights in full plate, whereas the Broken Tusk (I guess) rarely use metal armor. So, I don't know which company or squad Iroven belonged to, but I think he remembers his life back on Mendev.Rolling diplomacy. Is our hero points refreshed?

The three young soldiers do not lower their weapons, but at least seem willing to talk. "What are you doing out here?" the halfling asks Iroven.
"And in such strange company," the elf adds.

Iroven looked at the halfling and said, "I know that you are all probably trying your best to survive in these frost-covered lands, but this is not the way proud crusaders of Mendev should behave. My friends here are the company of Broken Tusk, who have mastered and survived these desolate lands for years. Without their aid, I would have died, a frozen corpse buried and forgotten under the snow. Yet, their kindness has given me a second chance. You can see that I am here, and my oath stands for doing good wherever I can. So here I am, helping the Broken Tusk survive their enemies. The dragon that you are talking about—we are not its minions, and we are trying our best to avoid it. But, with your help, we might stand a chance fighting that creature. What have you all been doing here? Are there more crusaders here? What news of Mendev?"

The three young soldiers look at each other, until the half-elf finally speaks. "We are under the command of Commander Montgrim. We have a camp to the south of here."
"Hush!" the kitsune says. "We don't know if they are allies. Don't go around announcing our business."
The half-elf shakes her head. "I am Belguese. The worrywart here is Ray."
"And I'm Arvis," the halfling adds. "We can't say we have words from home. We've been stuck in this valley for what seems like forever."
"There's a spirit in the tree. We've been sent to dispatch it," Belguese explains. "If we are to expect your help in dealing with a dragon, I'm sure a spirit will be no trouble. Right?"
Arvis starts nodding its head. "Yeah, yeah. You need to prove yourself before we can take you to the commander."
"What are the two of you talki..." Ray says, but is interrutped by a half-elven elbow in the side. Belguese then leans over and whispers something to her companion. Ray's eyes light up by whatever she's told in the whisper, and starts nodding along as well.

Iroven looked at Belguese, Arvis and Ray in turn as they were introduced. He nodded to them and said, "I can guess that you are cautious, and it is fair that you want to check our intent. But what do you want us to prove?"

You do not think they want to actively harm you. Though you do get the feeling that they are scared of whatever is in the tree and want to pawn off their duty on someone else. You get the feeling that they hope you suceed in dealing with the spirit, because if you don't they ultimately have to deal with the problem.
