<As Ledros and Stranger make their way out of the tavern, they hear a commotion outside. They turn to see a group of masked figures violently attacking a random passerby. Without a word, Ledros rushes towards the scene, dragging Stranger along. They join the fight, taking down the masked figures one by one until the attack is over. The victim, a young woman, lies unconscious on the ground. Ledros and Stranger exchange a brief glance before Ledros kneels down beside the woman, checking her pulse and tending to her wounds. The woman slowly regains consciousness and looks up at Ledros with gratitude. As they help her to her feet, the woman introduces herself as Arianna, a fellow traveler who found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now injured and shaken, Arianna thanks Ledros and Stranger for saving her life and asks if she can join their group.>
