Hmmm. I head toward the party, but I stop short of the door. My damn conscience gets the better of me and I head down the alley where the Kobold ran to, but she is no longer there. So I head back to my friend's place and enjoy a night of celebration.

It is late now, long past midnight. I make my way past the alley where the Kobold once was and head down the alley to check one last time for her. Still nothing, before as I turned to head home, I hear shouting and thuds.

I bolted quickly to see what it was. There was the guard from early, he was obviously drunk the way he slurred his words, but he was insulting the Kobold and holding her face down in the snow. Without a thought or care of consequence I grab a wooden board from a trash bin and rushed the guard. Before he had time to act, I smacked him across the head, breaking the board and luckily just knocking him unconscious.

Dropping the board, I pull the Kobold up and wrap her in my coat. We talk on the way to my house, about how that guard made a habit of putting her down. She then warned me of the repocussions of my actions, to which I smiled and said, "Like he'll remember anything after that! Besides I'm leaving this city in a few hours. I'm going to my families' homestead several days ride from here, I inherited it. I said my 'good byes' at the party and my things are packed to go."

The Kobold suddenly seemed saddened by this news, but she still put on a smile and wished me a safe trip. As she begins to walk away, I blurt out, "Wait! It might be silly to ask.... b.. but I read that card of yours. I could use a friend to travel with. It would certainly make the trip better if I had company.... and my families' place has plenty of room for you. I mean, if you want to that is?"

The Kobold's face immediately goes from a weak smile to utter joy. She pounces and gives me a big bear like hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She says repeatedly. To which I reply, "okay, okay. So, whats your name?"
