The group watches the halfling head off into the marshy landscape and within seconds all lose sight of her. Halflings are near invisible in neutral terrain when they want to be to begin with, and with the aid of the fine elven cloak none can find her after only a couple of blinks. Two or three minutes go by and there's no sign of her yet.

"Something in a cave up ahead. We could pass easily enough, I think…"

"Then by all means, let's pass easily little one."
Mal saddles back up and once the others are ready she begins to walk her horse slowly forward once more.

Hrmph! "I would be curious as to what is in the cave, though now is not the time to look. Not while we have so many that need protection. Perhaps on our return trip, we could take a closer examination?" The wizard follows suit, but his eyes linger on the rocky outcropping as he passes.

"Few things can steal the warmth from the world Master Wizard, and none I know of that I would wish to meet."
Mal takes a beat and then continues,
"All the more reason I suppose that we should root it out before someone less capable stumbles upon it."

The party moves past unimpeded. As the group gets closer to the southernmost tip of the rock outcrop, everyone feels the temperature get colder and colder. Not quite the painful burn of near frostbite that Gilly felt as she approached within 30' of the cave mouth, but not a pleasant feeling either, for as well as being simply cold in temperature as evidenced by their billowing breaths, each companion feels a sense of oppressive despair and dread as they pass. Likewise, all feel a sense of relief as they pass the outcrop and feel the temperature rising again. Whatever lay in that dreadful cave, it wasn't there yesterday morning when the party last passed, and though some of you worry about what danger it may pose for others, it's doubtful many would travel this road as it only leads to the abandoned ruins of the moathouse, and each of you secretly hopes to some degree or other that it will have moved on before you return.
The rest of the journey is uneventful and by about 9am the party reaches the eastern edge of Hommlet. Farmers and laborers glance at the group as they pass, still interested in the group, but by now more accustomed to the comings and goings of the party these last few days. Stores and shops are open and ready to do business as you pull up to the village square in front of the Welcome Wench Inn and Tavern.
