Ricki and Kamau make their way down the darkened streets towards the district wall. They’re careful not to be seen, but there is almost no one around to avoid at this hour.

“These friends of yours… will THEY be comfortable harbouring a fugitive?”

“They harbour ME.”

“Sure, but if we’re going to Goblintown I assume your friends are also goblins. Won’t it be a problem if you ask them to hide a human?”

“Why would it be a problem?”

“…If nothing else, won’t I stick out a bit?”

“Nah, not really. You’d be surprised how many different kinds of people live in our neighbourhood. The name “Goblintown” is really old.”

“It’s been years since the last time I was there. Things must have changed a lot.”

“Yeah, I guess.”

“So can you tell me anything about these friends of yours?”

“…Ricki?”

“Actually, hang on a second.”

“I’m gonna go steal some food from that tavern real quick.”
