Anyways. As I was walking along the river I overheard a conversation. Rather than look suspicious I followed the voices until I met two strangers who looked almost like myself which made me feel more at ease about being randomly murdered or robbed."

"Apparently my reputation as a storyteller preceded me as they immediately knew who I was and were more than happy to chat about the surrounding area and helpful tips. They were both very friendly and I would be lying to say I wasn't tempted to stay there with them and start my life, but alas, I had to keep traveling to the northeast. Always to the northeast. This urge will be the death of me, and even then I won't be given a final rest until I reach my destination, whatever it may be.
We said our farewells and they helped me across the river so that I could continue my journey once again."

"I was a bit worried when I saw the condition the boat was in but I was safely ferried across. Also. if you noticed my change in appearance I applaud your attention to detail. I gathered some straw for the hat and I found the pipe in a dusty old cupboard full of feathers and leaves. I am slowly starting to look the part of the traveling storyteller, right? Now if I could just find some tobacco."
