[QUOTE="Rya.Reisender, post: 7323305, member: 6801585"] One of my players is quite interesting in the D&D lore and keeps asking me questions I have a hard time to answer. So before I tell him I don't know, I would like to see if anyone here has an idea about these things (Warning: PoTA side track spoilers): The module says "They hire the characters as armed escorts for Ascaleld Marurryn, a negotiator for a new Sembian-sponsored merchant coster called the Rolling Wheel". My first question is how to read that: IS he a Sembian-sponsored merchant or is he a Zhentarim who is particularly talented in negotiating with Sembian-sponsored merchants? Also what does Sembia have to do with the trip to Triboar at all? Are they established in that town? Any other info on the "Rolling Wheel"? Couldn't find anything online. My player would also like to know why they want to trade with Triboar/Yartar and not just trade with Waterdeep. Any reasonable explanation for that based on the lore? [/QUOTE]
