The wagon stops, goblin talks to Drow,
 
Signs are Elvish or Undercommon predominantly
No Common
 
There is a constant bit of music playing everywhere. There doesn't appear to be anyone who encountered trouble recently.
 
A Duergar gentleman is on the side of the road w/ a blanket and a wooden bowl with a few coins in it, but looks like their weariness is long suffering
