We eventually make it to the next nearest town with the refugees left.
Someone had rescued the horses at some point, and so we rode those ahead of the shambling mass of refugees ready to deal with any threats that might arise along the way.
The town of Holton welcomes us in as soon as they see the number of refugees we are bringing.
Everyone welcomed is grateful to be alive. Surprisingly, no one questions the story we tell.
They agree to share the town's limited supplies for those who need it most, including shelter, food, and medical supplies. The residents offer beds for all who need one for the time being while awaiting further instruction.
As we help settle in the refugees from the burnt town, we hear rumors trickling through the village of similar disasters happening elsewhere in the kingdom as well.
