I managed to escort those travellers back to their group who had set up camp at the same place I had first met them.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" Our 'client' repeated, bowing her head as many times as she was thanking me. "If there is anything you need at all, please do not hesitate to look for us! I'll make sure that we accommodate Lady Nilm as much as possible!"
Incidentally… A number of those travellers who I have rescued were doing their best to press their heads into the ground as much as possible.
That's because while I was escorting them back, they were talking quite a lot of shit.
Despite the fact that they saw me decimate an entire fort's worth of bandits on my own, they were still whining about how I didn't prepare something to ferry them back to their companions.
Apparently, amongst them were a few minor nobles or they at least came from a noble family so they were expecting a carriage or something to be prepared for them to escape in.
