10. Down the trail, the party spots a man standing in the center of the trail. He waves for the party to come over to him. When the party gets closer, he says that he has lost his way and asks if the party can help him find his way back to town. If players are nice, he will give them a magic ring as a thank you gift. If players are mean, they can rob him and leave him to die.
