Message: <blockquote data-quote="gabrion" data-source="post: 3790043" data-attributes="member: 30779">Ya I wanted to flesh that out a bit more myself, the only problem is I'm not sure exactly where we would be starting.  Going through the thread I found mention that because a few characters are nomadic other's may want to be as well, but I wasn't sure if that meant we are starting in the desert.  Either way, he is retiring, but just from the job of guarding merchants.  My angle was the last one you mentioned - that on the way home something happens.  To know what specifically, it would be helpful to know the starting situation.  Tentatively I could say he wasn't planning to travel alone, so he actually looked for others in the waste when he set out.  He came across the other party members and not only did he feel like they could use another hand for safety reasons (he may be a bit tired of the guard job, but trying to keep others safe still comes naturally to him), but whatever business they have was taking them in (roughly) the same direction as him.  Does that work a bit better for you?Edit: And just to be super clear, since I know his motivation is part of the question here, this does not mean he would end up leaving if we end up making it to his home city.  Rather, I expect that once he joins the adventuring life with good companions and free from the yoke of merchant bosses, he will realize that this is really what he was looking for when he was younger.</blockquote>
