Kirk, I can understand the "bonk".. Even Markskor says, "no Talus please!"

On the bonfire. Call them on it. Saw the same thing in French near Paris; smelled smoke, walked over at 9pm. Asked what is up with the fire?

They put the fire out immediately and offered me whiskey (go figure). The cheese was good as well. nice enough, but they thought i guess they could sneak it.

If they seem hostile, you walk away and then report them as such at the exit ranger station. They know the permit and the party hopefully. It's really not ok to have that fire, regardless.

Too late, that's in the past. Why even suggest it? You were offered whiskey, consider yourself lucky.
