"We should get moving" Thea was standing outside the gates, with Harald at her back. She offered a quick polite nod when you emerged from the courtyard, but avoided looking back into the keep. She kept the hood of her damp cloak drawn low, her hair carefully tucked in, almost as if she was taking the trouble to conceal her face "..the road to Specularum will only get worse once the snow starts, and we've already lost days here. The Duke must hear about the return of the beastmen"

You advance along the Duke's road for the next few days. The rain has not stopped since you've left Verge, turning the road muddy and slick and soaking your cloaks and your backpacks. There are less and less people traveling south in this weather as winter approaches, and so it is quite unusual to spot the ragged band of men heading from the opposite direction.

There are two dozen of them, or so, wearing mismatched leather armor and carrying an assortment of swords, spears, and hunting bows. No banners, or uniform, looking more like a peasant militia than a trained force.

What do you do?

A figure steps forward from among the group. He is tall, with a neatly trimmed beard, but it is his armor that catches your attention; it is a masterwork bronze armor that gleams despite the overcast skies.

"Greeting, adventurers" he nods lightly at you "You look like you've been on the road for several days now. Might I ask where are you bound?"

"Specularum," Miyana replies somewhat defensively.
