Left

You decide to go left and quite soon you notice a small village in the middle of the forrest.
Your horse can use some water so you stop at the tavern and let the horse drink.

Entering the tavern you decide to gather some information.
The tavern is filled with people who all stop talking as they see you walk in.

The men look like farmers and they keep staring at you like you are the strangest thing they have seen in ages.

You glance at them and realize that they are not going to be any physical challenge for you if they decide to attack you. Perhaps one day you are going to meet someone that can defeat you, however they are not going to be that someone.

You sit down at a table with your back against the wall and order a beer.
As you look around the tavern the men start minding their own business again, however they keep glancing at you.

A beautifull barmaid with long curly hair and a slender body hands you your drink. She immediately walks away without even looking at you.

The door of the tavern opens and you see other people walk in. One man notices you and walks towards you. He is much like the other men however you notice a certain charisma around him. He looks like he is the leader here.

"Hello Sir, welcome to our humble village." The man says as he introduces himself as the Alterman of the village.

You introduce yourself and the other men seem to behave less strange towards you as the Alterman talks to you.

"Sir Brent, what is your craft? If I may ask."

"I am a retrieval expert of sorts, I am on my way to the castle of Faren." You answer.
"Perhaps you can give me some directions?"

"Of course we can Sir Brent. However perhaps you would first like to share a drink with us. It is not often that we have visitors in our humble village." The Alterman replies.

You see the barmaid look at you and barely visibly she shakes her head and then nodds to the door.
