A travelling warrior stops to help you deal with some pesky barbarians. It turns out you're headed the same way.
We stop at an inn for the night, but they only have one bed left. Looks like we'll have to share.
A beast attacks us in the forest, and I'm injured trying to protect you. While you nurse my wounds, I begin to open up about my past.
You were wounded by the beast that attacked us, but you kept it a secret. Now it's infected, and your home village is your only hope.
