((Hopefully I can manage bi-weekly x_x ))
((Lore to come...))
((Also, welcome to the waitlist, new posters!))
Astranix:
"What interesting little creatures. I'm going to see if I can help them, hopefully our overtures will be even more successful."
Communicating with the kobolds, ask if they have any problems that need to be solved.
Arhask lets Astranix do the talking and waits for the kobolds' reply.

The kobolds go into detail about many problems assailing them. Not enough rabbits to hunt this time of year, chickens laying fewer eggs, scary sky noises that try to eat them when the clouds are heavy, loss of shiny objects to magpies, woodland creatures raiding their gardens...
Prenastous
((That's luck, yessir. Also music.))
"Fishing. I'm not very fond of it, but's a way to live."
Let the horse rest and, only if the group does so, approach to the short fishermen/fisherwhatever-unknown-species-they-are in a peaceful manner: if they get startled, we may get into unnecesary trouble/bloodshed.
"Also, does anyone have a handful of paper and something to mark it with? Making a diary seems a good idea on long travel-making.

Like any respectable wizard, you have plenty of writing material stashed about your person. However, the fishermen seem confused by your sudden appearance.
They look human, though are shorter than you'd expect from that race. They seem to be clothed mainly in furs.
"Ah, fish. Truely a meal for the salty. The tears of boredom... Of waiting for that one line to catch... what a tragedy!"
Bless the bay! A sudden swarm of rare, delicious fish for weeks, and a minor uptick for all time! Fortune smiles upon you all this day, may all of your clams contain the finest of pearls! If goodwill is to be recieved, it must be given in turn.

You bless the waters, but it will take them a while to notice this, and might not connect it to you. However, they seem to regard you as strange humans on your first appearance to them, reacting with curiosity and confusion, though fortunately not suspicion.
Stanley
"I'm afraid I do not, I trust we will be able to figure something out if needed. Personally, assuming they don't over fish I find nothing wrong with the practice. Otherwise, it is irresponsible to destroy ones food source, the mark of a lessor being."
Feel for beings moving through the water, also observe any fishermen, are they armed, what tools do they use to fish, do any of them stick out?
[4]
You can tell that these Northern waters, though somewhat colder, are teeming with fish. the fishermen seem a simple folk, using bone and stone tools and piloting wooden boats. None of them stick out, aside from an apparent Chieftess.
The locals are far from the taint of evil, Akala said with a smile, accompanying her words-in-thought with sign language. We are sorry for surprising you both, and mean no harm. I am an explorer, along with my friend here, who speaks to the winds and weather. We ask your aid...
Get to know the kobolds' thinking. It may help understand them more, and inquire for their aid in our quest.

They seem to be a very simple people, of a rather harmless nature, though they also very superstitious and paranoid. Despite their seemingly overwhelming naivety and ignorance, they possess canny survival skills. They might be rather hospitable, once you can gain their trust and get past their fear of anyone larger than them, but they also seem like they might get clingy.
Garalagrulon
Garalagrulon decides to let Akala do the talking for now - she seems the type of wizard more suitable for that anyhow. Instead he sets his staff/spear in the ground and inclines his head in greeting to the kobolds.
Keep an eye and ear out for anyone else while Akala converses. Use the winds to carry any suspicious noises to my ears.
Don't make any aggressive moves toward the kobolds, they seem relatively harmless.
((Say Hugo, do you have any defined lore on where us wizards came from in the Divine Lands, and if we serve different lesser gods like the Valar in Tolkeinverse? Anything like that? I'm asking mainly for role playing purposes since I've never actually gotten to RP with Tiruin when I wasn't playing an insane sociopath, and I'm kinda looking forward to it.))

There is a restlessness to the weather, displaced by your purposeful calming of the skies for now. Whether it is natural or fell, you cannot say for sure, but it seems very subtle.
