It's difficult to work out what it's transporting but the general mood of the caravan is eager, as if great riches await them at their journey's end. <br /><br />The caravan master is a celebrated explorer that goes by the name of Andrin. <br /><br />You've heard that Andrin is wary of bandits and may need help. <br /><br />When you see Andrin, as he's preparing to leave, you notice that he carries a scroll case that he continuously takes out and reads. At his side is a finely crafted sword. His hand never leaves its hilt. <br /><br />Malandir talks to one of the guards and uses Perception, Diplomacy, Knowledge Local and Sense Motive and finds that Andrin needs gold to repay debts. <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04244248056064945123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7534774907931463952.post-39217843775309709342017-03-01T11:31:03.102+10:002017-03-01T11:31:03.102+10:00Lucien mulls schemes to leverage Sildar... and cha...Lucien mulls schemes to leverage Sildar... and chastises his lack of foresight by not healing the warrior when they had the chance; saving him was one tick, the party could have scored another tick by healing him, still another by maybe forgoing half the reward he offered. <br /><br />Missed opportunities...<br /><br />Still, healing Sildar may have chaffed the men, who received no healing on the outing themselves.

"Keep and ..."Agreed," Talmark says. "Keep and utilize the food stuffs. Hopefully Sildar did not see the wares and can divulge nothing. Speaking of, perhaps he can be utilized as some manner of leverage against the Iorians? A spy in their midst or some such. We parted amicably, and we did save him, perhaps he will be grateful and willing to help, or at least disenchanted with the Order."<br /><br />"As for the door to the cave, if I recall correctly we could set it back a little distance so it will not be too easy to spot. I do very much like the idea of camouflaging the entrance. Maybe someday we could put a good old fashioned tiger pit out front too."<br /><br />Talmark would like to look over the caravan gathering to head out that we will be travelling with, just to see it's composition so far and to maybe make some plans.

And to be honest, it makes no sense at all to recover the Blue Lion foodstuff, travel back, turn them in for reward, then spend selfsame reward on the same foodstuff and go right back to the cave to provision. You all see the rational and agree, correct?"<br /><br />"I have high expectations about this outing..."<br /><br />Lucien then stops himself, nods, and walks away.<br /><br />Though he showed no cowardice on the first outing, he felt no sting of enemy weapons nor drew blood either. Just the way HE likes it, yes, but better to not remind the men he escaped all harm and reaped more gold than they.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01048578579193416813noreply@blogger.com
