On the deck, Chier notices that Mavericks and the henchmans bodies have already been brought up from the hold by Johan and Mandrid. "Good work lads." Chier remarks. Let wrap them up and take them to town."
The journey back to shore is uneventful yet difficult. Glaivin grumbles the whole way neck deep in water. Chier and Tiy carry Mavericks remains while Johan and Mandrid carry the headless henchman. Waiting on shore is the village guide holding onto Chier's trrusty steed. "My lord. What does he look at?" Johan asks. Sure enough the guide is looking off into the distance at a hilltop. It is no wonder Johan can not decern the man standing on the hill. Only elven eyes could see that distance. Even to Chier though the man is but an outline.

Chier turns and looks to see what the man might be looking at.
"I think we should hurry up and get ashore." Chier tells the companions with some what haste.
The group picks up the pace and hurries to shore.

The group gets to shore and Chier wastes no time. "How long has he been there?" The paladin asks the village guide Jo-jo-Sha.
"Most of the time you were gone. He just stands there looking at me or the ship or something." Jo-jo-Sha looks down at the two lifeless forms and makes the sun sign for the Lord of Light. "What happened over there?"
"No time." Chier takes the reins of his horse and mounts up. The man, yes he is clearer now. Definitely a human or elf is just standing there, looking on. He is waring some sort of headdress. feathers protrude from his head like a crown.
"What are you thinking My Lord?" Tiy asks while also looking at the ominous man on the hill.

"Well tiy my friend I am thinking that I should ride out to see who our courious friend is." chier tells tiy with some earie reservations about this. Wondering who this man is Chier rides out to this strage person.
Chier approaches the man cautiiously.
"Hello there friend" Chiereneua says with a friendly tone.

Chier studies the man as he approaches. His human face is covered in white paint making him look like a skull. His eyes are a fierce, penetrating blue. The mans muscular body is black as pitch with animal bones tied to elbow and knee joints. In his left hand is a nasty looking club carved out of the bone of some giant beast or being. The man is still twenty yards away when Chier speaks his welcome. In response the man simply turns around and walks down the other side of the hill. Chier urges his mount forward. The Paladin only looses sight of the strange man for an instant as the hill top blocks his view. A moment later when Chier crests the hill, the man is gone. Chier can see for miles. He has disappeared.

Chier searches, but five minutes later he simply gives up trying to find the odd man with the skull painted face. Turning round he heads back to the group.
"What happened my Lord?" Johan asks for the group.
"I don't know. I lost sight of him and well, he just vanished. Come let us head back to Jo-jo-sha's village and then on to Garrotten."
