You are only vaguely familiar with vittra, as they are mostly only in Norrland (northern sweden in the modern day)

For the record, Reward Dice are rounded up if failures are rolled. So, if you roll a 1 or 2, it counts as if you rolled a 3 or 4.

Breathing in and out, you steady your emotions as you focus in on the current situation. Despite how much you'd really like to plant Sagaseeker's edge into this guy's face, that probably won't end well and you'd rather not have the blood of children on your hands.
Swallowing your pride for but a moment, you stare in the general direction of papa-vittra's eyes—at least where you assume them to be, "Sorry to disturb you, but I saw your herd wandering about," a finger draws a circle in the air, "and wanted to see if we had a new neighbor, but I guess your wards had something of a hiccup, though?" You cap that thought off with a shrug as you gesture to Abjorn, who hurriedly shuffles forward and places the bundle in your open hand. Unwrapping the cloth, you immediately feel eyes' touch as a drink-jar meets the sun's gaze, "We brought fine mead as a welcoming gift, though."
(Silver-Tongue: 23+1(Friendly)+1(First Impressions)+1(Reward Dice)) 26 Successes, a Grand Success
Twin glints of booze-lusted greed shine from a suddenly-there hazy figure. As the shape shambles towards you, the vague shapes of its arms reaching out, you realize that this must be what happens when a vittra loses concentration on their natural invisibility. Letting him have the bottle, you watch as the jar lifts up into the air as if under its own power. Seal cracked, the jar quickly finds its contents flowing down a hazy man's gullet.
Wiping his mouth clean, the drunk seems unsteady as he returns the jar to you. Your brew is strong indeed, so strong that you can actually make out bits of detail here and there from how much it effects the vittra.
If you so desired, you could absolutely pump this vittra for information. You could also call it a night—er, day—here and go home with success in hand and your heads still attached to your necks.

Presumably, who he paid for 'nobody bothering him' because they probably sabotaged his wards and set him and some humans to have conflict.
who they are, where they came from, perhaps if they'd like to trade or what they could have to trade

I think we could stand to talk a little more, try and get some info. If we do, I think it's something like this:
[X] Pump him for information
-[X] We're primarily trying to get info on who he paid to get left alone, that part seems relevant and like whoever he paid might've set this up. However, he's drunk, and there's no need to be rude, we'll use Light Touch if needed and gently guide the conversation in that direction rather than be impolite about it. We will also happily allow him to tell us things like where he's from and why his family moved here, whether they'd be open to trade in the future, things like that. That's all secondary to who they paid to be left alone, though.
-[X] Keep a careful eye out for when he tires of our company, make our goodbyes and get out of there before his mood shifts towards the truly unpleasant. Using Goal Tell and Lowest Limit to help with this inasmuch as they can.
Just going home is also valid, though.

Only if we have a specific result we think is amazing. Rewrite is expensive and we want it for other things as well. I can't think of anything in that category now that we have Sunfire.
