Their whole schtick is that they can get anyone anything, so one of the wagons holding Dinosaurs shipped from Chult just seems on-point. 3) In the spirit of shows like "Race Across the World" I think that she will meet the party at various "Checkpoints" to see how things are going. She's posh enough to not have to travel by foot, but I don't want to make teleportation too readily available (or why would they not just do that with the shipments). I think that she'll be taking a hot air balloon, or some Gondian ornithopter. Something that can get her there ahead of the caravan, but couldn't pack a lot of stuff. Sure, she'll be taking some "choice" items along with her (like magic items? Perhaps as rewards for the PCs for a job well done) but most stuff is with the caravan.4) So it's not quite as much of a railroad as it otherwise could be, I'm making the PCs fully in charge of the caravan. Sure, there will be some uppity drivers with their own opinions - a council of NPCs that will meet with them and complain/suggest/attempt coups, etc, but the PCs are in charge.  I want the PCs to be able to pick the initial route. More on that next post.</blockquote>
