Y'know......I'm wondering at this point why I didn't think to give Thrang another melee weapon beforehand. He has gold remaining, but for some reason I didn't think to arm him with anything more than a dagger and a crossbow. Why, oh why did I forget spears?
*facepalm*
I suppose I wanted Thrang to travel light (he's carrying his maximum light load capacity as-is), but I dunno if that's necessary while he's with the caravan.
