Starting Situation

Dustford after sundown, the only inn in this border town. The lamp over the door sways in the dusty wind, and in the dining room downstairs, merchants who've unpacked and a few border guards sit over bowls of soup, trading news. Behind the counter, the innkeeper, Maria Brooks, turns the pages of her ledger without missing a single word of her guests' conversations. Who came by which road, how heavy their packs are, whose eyes look uneasy—she has it all figured out before she even hands over a key. The door opens, and in walk you, covered in dust, and your taciturn traveling companion. Maria looks up and sizes the two of you up from head to toe. Her smile is warm, but her gaze lingers long on the heavy pack slung on your companion's back.
