Rum Kon fled south from the city and found himself near a small village: a few neat houses, a mill, fields, and workers tending to them, and an inn. The mage observed this from the thicket of the forest.
"Kind people, help me. I am an executor of the will of the inner council of Illinar, and I was carrying out an important task about which I am not allowed to say anything more. I was stunned and robbed by bandits. I woke up in the middle of the forest and walked for several hours before reaching here. Tell me, where is the nearest government office? I need to report what happened to me."
Yes, I saw everything.
