A small group of religious fanatics or pilgrims are travelling towards a holy site. They may prove helpful or a pain in the backside depending on their faith and beliefs, but they will not get out of the way, they will not be deterred, and they will not turn around.

A lost child wanders the road alone. Abandoned by parents who could not afford to feed their offspring? Wandered away from their cart unnoticed? Run away from home?
