"Why yes, I was ambushed by those bandits also. Rest assured they will not be attacking anyone else for a while."
You realise this woman is a powerful sorceress, and feel quite glad you did not attack her!

If you accept this invitation, turn to 57. If you refuse, leave the woman, continue to Blackhammer, and turn to 344.
