You watch as Liam has just finished climbing the rugged mountain path. While they look friendly, this is a remote area and something about them seems... off, so you decide to hide behind a boulder. They pause for a moment to catch their breath in the thin mountain air, savoring the view of the ocean. You are barely able to hear as they mutter to themselves, "Ah, Father, if only you kept your realm in better order..."
Liam seems to sense your presence, or maybe they saw you hide, as they turn in your direction and speak. "Hey, you over there! My name is Liam, and I mean you no harm. I'd heard there are kelpies killing the fishermen in a village on the coast. They're creatures that normally have the front half of a horse with a fish's tail, but are also capable of taking on a human appearance. I'm heading there to help, but if you're traveling to the village, how about we travel together? Sharing stories makes for a faster journey."
