You decide to head south.

After thinking about the situation, you decide to head south.

Flat, populated lands…

Many farms, pastures, roadside inns…

And the large city of Onteria, which is an important trade center in the region.

You hope that among the numerous people of this city it will be easy for you to get lost and throw off your mysterious pursuers-criminals from your trail. And another argument in favor of the southern direction: in a crowded city it is much easier to try to find help than in a sparsely populated forested area.

As you walk along the road in a southerly direction, thoughts about the recent events that destroyed your usual way of life disturb your mind.

Tobbin's tavern, which is consumed by flames…

The place where you lived and worked is destroyed…

And you have a vague fear that this is not just an accident.

Fear is constantly present in your mind: "What if the perpetrators who set fire to Tobbin's tavern want to harm everyone who worked there? What if they come looking for me to harm me?"

Such fears only make you walk faster along the road, away from the town of Skelweerd.

You place hopes that your appearance will help you confuse the possible perpetrators pursuing you. After all, you now look like a girl: you are dressed in a woman's cloth dress of a dark green shade, on your head a woman's scarf with patterns, on your feet are women's woolen stockings, your shoes are now women's shoes with a small heel.

So, after many hours of walking, you see that the surrounding area looks unfamiliar.

Vast flat expanses of meadows, covered with grass and bushes...

In the distance, fields sown with wheat are visible...

To the left of the road there are small hills, from which sounds are heard that resemble the bleating of flocks of sheep...

You have not left the outskirts of the city of Skelweerd before, and you have not left your usual place of residence.

Now you have to walk through a place you have never been to before. You are a stranger here. But you are **** to continue moving forward in order to find a new place of residence and ensure your own safety.

You strain your strength and continue walking, despite fatigue and hunger.

As a result, you walk a considerable distance along the road, occasionally meeting passers-by (you have met quite a few passers-by over the many hours: some of them were heading north; others were heading south; several mule-drawn carts and a couple of horsemen also passed you by). You tried not to start conversations with passers-by or attract their attention, fearing that your girly “disguise” would be revealed.

Unfortunately, you realize that you have problems: you have no supplies with you – no food, no water; you are very tired and need to find a place to rest.

It is already evening. There is less and less sunlight. It is getting dark.

You peer into the distance: it seems that ahead, at a distance of about five hundred meters, to the left of the road, the silhouette of a small one-story house is visible.

You, walking with all your strength, reach this building.

It is a small wooden house that stands near the road. The walls of the house are made of hewn logs. Dim light shines through the closed window shutters. It looks like an ordinary peasant's dwelling.

Next to the house there is a town with beds of cabbage and carrots, surrounded by a wooden fence.

You also see a couple of small wooden sheds located to the right of the house. You can assume that domestic animals are kept there.

So, before your eyes is a wooden oak door.

Will you knock on the door and ask for a place to stay for the night?

Or will you prefer a different behavior pattern?

For example: steal some cabbage and carrots from the beds in the garden; eat; then - settle down for the night in the shed, carefully camouflaged.
