Set free, but to where?

Two men enter a dark room. They unlock the locks and drop the chains, letting them dangle. The two men grab a girl and push her outside the room. The light outside is blinding.... yet it is night.
"You are free to go, miss. Hagen says your punishment is over."
The men let go of the girl and she walks around in the woods aimlessly, until she spots a male human and a female dwarf. She listens to them for a while and then the dwarf notices her. The girl knows she has been noticed and comes out to talk to the two. They speak for a while, but none of it is really important. The male human goes to bed and the girl and the female dwarf continue to talk. As they talk, the girl drops most of her possessions because she has no need for them. She drops everything she is wearing but her white cloak, which she ties around herself. The dwarf woman tells the girl that she will keep the girl's things until she is 'back to normal again' but the girl does not seem to care. She guesses the dwarf woman is a thief, but it does not really matter. The girl goes to town and continues to wander aimlessly.
