OOC:
Good question, so Shadow points only go away if you devote a Fellowship Phase to getting rid of them (and even then, only if you succeed on a save). And I think we've only had one or two Fellowship Phases. So probably still have them.
But you can also accumulate up to your WIS score in Shadow points before anything happens so no real worries.
In game terms, this is an opportunity to Short Rest, if you need it, and all also to conduct any further investigation, questioning, or preparations that you might want to before dusk or whenever you guys make your next move.
At the least Cirion has mentioned getting help understanding the text.
Eothain mentioned finding out their plans.
If these are things that you'd like to pursue before dusk, put together a narrative and one or more Skill Checks regarding how your do it.
Remember your Exhaustion and that Helping each other can negate that Disadvantage.
I'll do a little ground laying/scene setting...
The tent you've been directed to has two women inside of it, as promised there is a broth simmering rich with the clean, buttery smell of rabbit fat and root vegetables. Waxed cloth bags and baskets of provisions - mostly grains - and dried or drying meats on hangers line the walls.
The women converse idly in the language of the Dunlendings but when they meet you they switch to a passable Westron, and when you walked by it, the fire pit outside circled by four men were all also conversing in Westron.
The two children playing outside the tent giggle and chide each other in Dunlending.
From idle conversation you learn that there are pack horses down by the stream, "
Bangdu Caun and his priests" up in the fortress ruin, and only apparently "
the Southron warriors" expected yet to arrive.
There is plenty of space for you three to have private conversations if you wish.
