Matilda wanders back to the wagon, climbs up into the seat, and watches the carnage from her position of relative safety. She picks up the map and begins to fiddle with it idly. She folds it, unfolds it, rolls it up, unrolls it, then decides to look at it more thoroughly.

"Hey Tarrin, why do you suppose, if there is so many farms and stuff, we only ever saw the one family on the road? I mean, do you think they were the only ones that stayed out there? Do you think we might run into more refugees on the road?"
Matilda is a young gnome. She has curly blond hair, blue eyes, and is almost always smiling. She is quite intelligent, but is prone to occasional sillyness.
