"I've never seen anything like them before," Ladonna admits. "Where are you traveling to?" She asks

"The capital," the first human replies. "We buy goods cheap there, then travel to Hart to sell them, then return to start again. Will you be willing to accept a reward for our rescue? We have some excess coin from our time in Hart."

"If you wish to give a reward, we will accept," Ladonna says. "But before you leave, have you seen any more people traveling through here?"

The merchants each contribute a bit to the reward, which comes to a total of 29 CP, 39 SP, 24 GP, 14 EP, 9 PP, and 6 gemstones.
"No, we haven't encountered anyone so far, aside from yourselves," the dwarf answers.

"Habe you heard of any equality camps or bases in the area?" Ladonna asks as she takes the reward, which she divides between everyone.

"No, and if we did, we would report them immediately, of course," the first human says.

Ladonna looks at the man curiously for a moment before she lets it go. "We don't want to keep you from your travels, especially after that ordeal," she says before returning to her group.

"And you on your own travels," says the second human. They take a moment to mourn the two they lost, then pack up and start heading west.

"We should continue on too," Ladonna says to the others.

The two day trip back to Hart is uneventful after that. Upon arrival in the city, the guards immediately recognize Ladonna, despite her mud-encrusted robes. "You're Ser Marche, are you not? The Lady Joy has had search parties looking for you. You should report to the manor straight away."

Ladonna lets out a sigh, and nods to the guard. "Everyone go gdt some rest, but be ready to continue on once I am done," she says. She makes her way to the manor to find Joy.

Ladonna is greeted in the manor's main hall by Joy...and Helen. The young baron's daughter looks a bit worn and ragged, but alive and unharmed. Joy is the first to speak. "Thank Gonto, you're alive. I wasn't sure where you went or how to contact you. But it turns out it was unnecessary. The guards tracked Helen down to an abandoned watch tower east of here, alongside the river. The Equalists used a boat to carry her down there swiftly. The guards realized this and followed the river until they reached the tower, breached it, and managed to rescue her. All of the Equalists were executed, save their leader, who managed to escape."

"Ah," Ladonna says. "I had went to track her myself," she explains. "But we went the wrong way it seems. My lady," she says, looking to Helen. "I am glad that you are safe."

Helen nods. "Thankfully, nobody was seriously hurt," she says.
"Father has decided to double security in the manor," Joy adds. "But for the time being, I think we are safe. Would you mind escorting Helen to her room, so she can bathe and get some rest?" she asks Ladonna.

"Of course," Ladonna says. She bows her head to Joy, and then escorts Helen to her room.
