"Aaah!"
A shout can be heard from outside, followed by a quick
"Don't worry, child, that one's just a statue. That's the place I told you about, the Red Dragon Inn."
And, quickly enough. someone enters - a man in fine clothes, apparently a merchant, holding the hand of a young girl. "These people will be willing to listen, and judging from what I heard, most will help your village and the others."
Turning to the patrons, the man announces:
"My name's Jakub, and as I was on my way here, I came across this little girl, who was apparently a runaway, but actually, she... well, I guess it's better you tell 'em."
Frightened, the girl looks at the gathered adventurers, then takes a deep breath and starts, stuttering and sobbing "M...my name's Si..Sina... I'm from Gre...Grenton, a small vi...village. We...we and other vi...villages are ru...ruled...con...trolled, by kobolds. Th...they are ruled by a ... a dragon... I ha..had a cha...chance to flee, to...to get help..."
The girl starts to cry, and the merchant puts his hand on her shoulder, soothing her. "Don't worry, they'll help."
