She says she's relieved I'm alright, and explains my camp was attacked. She and her friends found me after hearing a yell in the distance.

She says her name is Tariel, and she's an explorer who travels around destroyed towns, deserted homes, looting what she can and finding interesting things to keep as souvenirs.

I thank her for rescuing me and do a pirate impression to lighten the mood. She smiles weakly and asks if my head feels alright.

Skip buying weapons for Lia. You don't even know what she's good at using. She certainly has her own weapons, anyway.

Pick up a short sword and shield. Also, perhaps a kobold sized dagger if you have some money left over. It's good to have a backup weapon.
