No sooner said than done, the next morning the Human Warrior found the village head at a house with a small garden.
The village head was a fair-skinned male in his forties, with black hair and a beard that were both flecked with some white, and a congenial personality. Upon seeing the Human Warrior, he invited him to admire the garden, up until the Human Warrior stated the purpose of his visit.
"I think you should discuss this matter with our Civilian Captain instead." Though the village head managed the affairs of the village, he could not make unilateral decisions and had to consider the opinions of those with practical experience—professional matters were left to the professionals.
The Civilian Captain arrived quickly. In contrast to the approachable village head, he looked exceptionally stern with his auburn hair pulled back behind his head, a beard concealing a scar on the upper part of his mouth, and most noticeably missing a left hand—lost in combat with a Troll.
