Still staring at the very large and very hungry looking dire lion, while the woman comes back up to it to pet it fur and probably give it orders to eat me! Taking a few steps back away from the monster, to only see more people come up to the road, staring at me and asking all of these totally unimportant questions!<br/><br/><em><strong>"Like I said, nobody got hurt! Also the fire was for self defense, so it wasn't really my fault! It was that pervert trying to grope me, it is his fault!"</strong></em><br/><br/>No idea why I am bothering to talk to a bunch of strangers and professing my innocence towards them. It isn't like they are a mob of irate peasants. Still though, keeping a sharp eye on that furry monster while seeing about good avenues of escape. Trying to think up something to convince these people to wander off into the woods and not back in town, where they could tell the fore-mentioned mob of which direction I went.<br/><br/><em><strong>"Oh yes! Instead of bothering those poor innocent peasants with this problem, why don't we go explore some caves? I've heard from plenty of sources in town of there being treasure and other shinies there. Doesn't that sound more interesting?"</strong></em>
