Now Rip, still carrying the dwarf's heavy barrel, and the dwarf seem to have climbed over a hill and meet more dwarfs. Rip is scared by a man dressed just like the dwarfs, same washed-up coat and large hat, but way, way taller. The dwarfs seem to be familiar with him though, so there's no reason for imminent danger. Cool down, Rip.
Could it be a magician? The picture quality of this one leaves a lot to be desired unfortunately. My perception is that Rip initially thought of him as a scarecrow, but finally gets the creeps when he sees him moving. Is that how you thank a friend for carrying your heavy barrel up a large hill. These dwarfs seem to be a feisty people. Lets hope they'll at least re-compensate Rip's efforts with a nice roast.
