You try whittling bow shafts but you can't find any wood springy and bendy enough. You don't have any bowstring anyway.
You decide to head to the vagabond camp to see if anything interesting is happening. As you enter you see quite a few people eating the roasted meat of the rats you left here earlier, and the people who saw you leave it thank you.
You happen to see the one-eyed Dwarf arguing with a town guard. It seems as if our friendly thief has aroused suspicion upon himself, and the guard has caught on.
You've helped him before, so you decide you might as well do it again. You adopt your best dirt-scum vagabond accent and grab a piece of roasting rat meat, and walk up to the guard.
“'Scuse me, sah, wouldn't ya like a bite ta eat?”
“What? Look, Gnome, I'm busy, I-” By the time the guard turns around to where the Dwarf was standing, he is already gone. “Ugh... just get out of here Gnome, you've just gotten me into a lot of trouble. Now I have to go find that Dwarf again.”
You start to leave the camp and as soon as you are a decent distance away the Dwarf calls you out. “Thanks, mate, once again you've saved my skin. The name's Max Yeskly, world famous thief and adventurer.”
You introduce yourself to the Dwarf, who seems very pleased to meet you.
“I can't hang around this vagabond camp anymore, the town guard is after me and they know now that I've been staying here. I know where your camp is, is there any way you could accommodate me?”

Foothill Village: Your old home, there's no going back now.
Stockton: A Human village, your village used to trade with them frequently. It is your current location. You were told there is an old abandoned prison nearby, perhaps it is worth looking into. A one-eyed Dwarf told you the location of a loot cache in the prison. You have found a hidden spot to camp at night.
