Talia frowned. "How, indeed...? Ruffians? The road from Gonor is long, willofain. I've seen some, yes, but no more than one would consider normal. Although..." She suddenly remembered the groups of dark-hooded figures she'd spotted on the roads near the Inn. "I'd have to warn you, my friend, that I have seen what you would call ruffians near here. However, they could be Rangers for all I know. Why? Have there been attacks here before, do you know?" A sudden idea occured to her. "Perhaps the ruffians are looking for that Orc-necklace you found. Why don't I find this Derufin and inquire whether or not he has it? Did he say which way he was going?"
"You'll have to introduce me to this man, who you say sounds like me, when we're done here. Perhaps I know him, though I've not seen him around. What is his name?"
