[QUOTE="silentspace, post: 1158316, member: 14316"] Darien studies Etherial for a moment, stroking his graying beard. “The person requesting the aid of one of the Brotherhood…? What brotherhood is that, sir? And here I was, thinking you were signing up with me to be a caravan guard! I was planning on getting you all equipped up, if you wanted to join up with me full time. I can tell by the looks of you that you’re the type that wouldn’t be needing any armor, but I could get some barding for your horse and good weapons and other supplies. It’s dangerous work, guarding caravans. And more dangerous every year, let me tell you, but its honest work. There’s always a merchant that’s looking to hire you, if you have a good reputation, that is. Like Mr. Glendrake, for instance. I’ve worked for him before, and he was glad to hire me on again, even low on manpower, like I am now. Yes, I was hoping to get you guys equipped up at Carodan, if you wanted to sign on with me full time. I’d have to pull out a loan from the Washel Bank to do it, but I hear they sometimes help out honest blokes like me, I could give them some of my gear, as collateral, I suppose.” Leaning in conspiratorially, Darien continues “About what you should prepare, well, let me tell you. The men I lost were killed by hobgoblins. I’ve been pretty successful hunting goblinoids. You could say I specialize in them. And, well, the thing is…” He leans in and whispers to you, “I think they’re hunting me now. Don’t go telling this to any of the merchants, ok? Especially Mr. Glendrake.” As you settle in with the caravan, you see that Darien and the other riders move together as one unit. Judging from what Darien said, they are hired guards or mercenaries. They are all well-equipped, and their horses have light chain barding on them (equivalent of chain shirt). The caravan drivers are similarly well equipped. You also notice two new guards join the caravan, much as you did. The first is a human warrior on a light warhorse, who almost gets into a scuffle with one of Darien’s men. The second is a small halfling, on a riding dog.… [/QUOTE]
