"I am not concerned with getting attacked Lady Veldaran. I am concerned that having certain races in a caravan might result in it getting attacked before we even get to Greywall. I am also concerned that traveling by caravan will take much too long to prevent our foes from accomplishing whatever it is that they are attempting. We do not have good intelligence, so we need to get it. As for the caravan that left four days ago not showing up, that is a risk that all caravans take. If that caravan does not arrive at its destination, that would not be unheard of for Droaam. Those petty warlords attack each other right and left. I doubt that any of them would hesitate to attack a caravan if they knew that had connections to Yeenoghu. No, the loss of that caravan would probably not be totally unexpected. Caravans get lost all of the time, especially ones that go into Droaam. If we do detain it, though, we will probably need local troops to support us. Caravans going into Droaam are probably strongly capable after all, and it would be preferable to detain the entire caravan for a while as opposed to just killing anyone in it. Local troops would be needed for that.
