About 5 minutes later, a shortish, thickset man enters the inn. A quick glance around the room, and he heads your way. He wears fairly ordinary clothes that have seen better days. A faint smell of old liquor hangs around him, but he seems sober enough now. A wicked long knife hangs at his belt, and it has obviously been well used."Morning sirs. I'm Caleb. Young Caleb on account of my father to most. I heard that you are looking for a guide through the hills. I've run a couple of caravans through there, but I usually take a few lads with me. They aren't available at the moment however ...." He hesitates, seeming uncertain. He gives you a considered look, his eyes flickering over your equipment, sizing you up."But you look like you can handle yourselves well enough. Aye well, perhaps it would be all right. One gold piece per two days, 2 gold pieces in advance."Lirithan: [sblock]You get the feeling that all is not as it seems, and the man has ulterior  motives.[/sblock]Erik and Bendyn: [sblock]While not exactly the most respectable looking fellow, he seems straight up.[/sblock]Casparen: [sblock]While not exactly the most respectable looking fellow, he seems honest enough.[/sblock]If you agree, he asks you to wait here for a quarter while he gets some things ready for the trip. About that time later he reappears, carrying a bag. He also has a crossbow in hand and quiver at his belt, along with a hand axe.All that remains to do is pay off the inn keeper."Ah, well, 4 silver a piece would be fine." Which indeed it would, being about twice the price you would normally except to pay.From the inn you head through the rest of town and onwards. After about quarter of an hour the path starts to wind up into the hills. Caleb draws to a halt."I'm thinking to ride on ahead a little a little, to see what lies that way an if it is clear and all. Just follow this path, its clear enough around here, and don't wonder off. I won't be far, just shout if need be.</blockquote>
