Assisting a stranger on the road leads to some pleasant benefits.
The party arrives at a bridge, but when they attempt to cross they’re told they can’t continue unless they pay a toll and produce proof of business. While Eight unintentionally stalls the guards, Trix and Rou take the opportunity to forge papers indicating their roles as ambassadors from Saleen. They’re traveling to forge a business alliance with the ruler of the Dreata kingdom. The forgery is so good that the guards let them pass without further fuss.
Before they can move forward, Eight notices a traveler being waylaid by another guard. The group is able to convince the guard, with the assistance of a bribe, that the stranger is someone they intended to meet and will be traveling with. The traveler, named Priya, is quick to share snacks and chat up the exhausted party.
As dinner time rolls around, the party arrives at a small settlement by the roadside and procure a room at the Golden Falcon Inn. Priya claims she knows the owners, and encourages the party to use her name for a discount as a way of thanking them for their assistance. While Trix and Eight head into the inn, Rou takes the carriage to the stable and finds that Priya needs a little more help.
