The countryside is quite nice, it's not filled with a lot of people but with travelers here and there. Some in small groups some on their own. They are hosting a campfire where everyone has some to sit and is telling stories about their adventures. Someone is showing local children how to wield some weapons. Another is offering lodge, and stable for travelers and their animals.

I am a merchant traveling with a group of mercenaries and other merchants for protection. We are traveling to the East to trade spices. I am very nervous about being ambushed by bandits.
My goodness, that wasn't very nice of you! I thought I was being ambushed by bandits for a second! I do apologize, but scaring people is one of my favorite things to do. Now I ask, do you have any scraps left from food that may have been cooked in the campfire? Yes, we do have some leftovers. Are you a carnivore or a herbivore?  Why I am a carnivore! I will eat anything you leave for me.  Some of the other travelers caught some rabbits earlier. I'm sure you will enjoy these scraps. Thank you so much! I am incredibly hungry and do not get a lot of food where I live.  Would you like some seasoning with your meat? I am traveling to the East and have all sorts of spices with me. No thank you traveler. I prefer my food plain as possible. Why do you eat, those weird seasonings? They make me sick! On the contrary, these spices help us keep the meat free of bacteria for months on end! Oh really? That is quiet impressive! Are spices what bring you to the countryside? We are just passing through. We are looking for a major port city where we can display our goods and trade. You live a strange life traveler. I spend most of my days under a bridge scaring people, it's great fun!
