No, it is better to have a name.""As to looking after our interests, I say we are not ready for this either; but in the future, we may need a clerk, someone who can take jobs and negotiate terms in our absence. The rice is good, but bringing back those women is going to get us some reputation clout."After a couple of days in town, Foreman Gebbrik seeks out the DWAC. This time there is no mystery. He explains that when the prospector was out to the south looking for mineable ore, he noticed a band of Deviard, encamped further south. These people being an eminent danger to the community should they travel further north, he wishes the company to investigate the band and deter them from coming north, if necessary.[ooc]Each character receives 3 DP.
