"A bit, yeah," Lop said.

"Come over to the inn, we have some pork and beans going," Dena said.

Lop nodded and followed Dena towards the Inn.

Victoria and Richtor did as well. The Inn was small, with no sign. Inside Crystal was at a fire, watching the food.

Lop heads in and greets Crystal.

"Good to see you guys made it through fine," Crystal said.

"Yeah, we were good," Lop said "Everyone in the village was okay?" she asked.

"Yes, we're used to this," Crystal said.

Lop nodded "We'll I'm glad you are all okay," she said as she found a table.

Crystal dished up some food for the three of you.

Lop began to dig into her food "Will it be a while before they are back?" she asked as she ate.

"Yes, it's usually once a month," Crystal said.

"Well that's good to know, do you know if they maintain patrols on the road?" Lop asked.

"Sometimes. It's hard to predict those," Crystal said.

"Okay, that's good to know," Lop said.

"They don't get to do it often. I hear the zombie attacks are much worse at the capital," Crystal said.

"So we'll want to keep an eye out for those as well," Lop said.

"Yes, be careful," Crystal said.

"Well, thank you for your hospitality," Lop said "But I think we should probably move on."

"If you're sure," Crystal said. "You're welcome to stay."

"Thank you, but we are sure," Lop said.

"Avoid the capital at all costs," Crystal said. "I'll walk you to edge of town."

Lop nods "Thank you," she said as she went to collect her belongings and then follow Crystal to the edge of town.

"You should avoid the main road," Crystal said. "Stay on this one and make sure you take the paths heading northish."

"Thanks," Lop said and waves as they start on the road.
