The Occult Goat in Alley.
The goat stands there for a moment, panting to catch its breath and glaring at Roger's retreating form. After a few seconds, it snorts to itself in annoyance and begins trotting up the alleyway, its hooves clicking against the wet pavement. It disappears into the darkness before long, but you can hear the sound of its bleating echoing faintly in the distance. Perhaps it will cross paths with the players again later...

Bridge of Despair.
Keymaster crosses the bridge and examines the surroundings. He sees that the whole area is very rundown, with shops and carts lining the upper deck of the bridge.
