"Yep, see, we make great adventurers! Though we didn't get to do much." She looks over the package. It's a small wooden box, tightly wrapped in discrete fabric. "Suppose it's not surprising she was in a hurry, in any case, it explains why Aldis send us to get the package."

"Have you not heard of them before? They're not generally welcome in human settlements, but most people are aware of them. Plus the red skin, tail, and horns give them away. They can go under the radar in some larger cities but not in a small town like Bellhollow."
