*The next morning*

The dwarves had all awoken the next morning to find the barn they had taken shelter in filled with various sorts of animals, goats, horses, and even bumblebees, which gave some of them quite the fright to find such a gigantic bee sitting on their noses. However, they seemed friendly enough and simply just buzzed away as the dwarves sat up and began to get themselves together.

Outside, there came the sound of someone chopping wood. It would seem that their host, whoever he was, had returned during the night as well. Brushing his clothes down, Thorin turned to look at Gandalf.
"Alright Gandalf, would  you care to explain a little more about who this person is? How do we know he will offer us help?"
