Go toward the port

From Thread 1

At least, this alley is not quite as dark and crooked as the others, but it is very empty and silent. Still edgy, you walk straight ahead, holding your breath: it would be a good place for an ambush.

"Excuse me, good sir."

You almost jump out of your shoes. Turning around, you see a tiny blond girl, no older than nine, looking at you with pleading eyes. She is very lean and wears filthy rags.

"Sir," she says, "do you have any money? Just a few coppers will do. I'm hungry."

You do happen to have some money that you found on the beach after the shipwreck. You can give her a few coins or callously ignore her and continue on your way to the Port of Sartosa.
