[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 8621496, member: 6855223"] When Vyerbluth, the Caravan Master, is ready to grant liberty to those under his charge, he calls the swordsmen and javelineers to meet with him first. Since only Cormorant and Antapkos are new, the instructions are abbreviated. At first light, the day after tomorrow, the caravan would depart for Bridgetown, the next stop along the road to Boga City. The guards are expected to make sure that every member of the caravan is to be present when he is ready to depart. South Road Fair is apparently notorious for attracting or encouraging runaways. The swordsmen are paid first followed by javelineers, then the remainder of the employees. The guards each receive 120 clams, which comes to 6 clams per day of travel. Of this net, 80 clams had already been deducted for voting rights, another 80 clams for guild dues, 40 clams for rice, and finally another 80 clams for water. Each person is required to put a mark by his name. Neither Antapkos nor Cormorant had ever even attempted to make a mark, but both looked at the print of his own name and made a passable duplication of it, each young man wondering why no one else seemed to be able to do so. Vyerbluth gave the two an incredulous look. "[COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]You two can write[/COLOR]!?" The question was not designed to receive an answer. Despite all the fees, 120 loose coins were still going to be a problem to carry and going to become heavy, even though the utility belts that accompanied the confiscated uniforms did have a suitable pouch for carrying them. It seems like a trick to finally be paid, yet the acquisition of coins created a need to spend them just for the sake of not having to carry them. It was diabolically clever. There was no functional way to accrue wealth when it all had to be carried. Siofrita followed the caravan in, close enough to speak with several of its members. Being known as one of the rangers from South Road Fair, her presence did not draw any suspicion from the guards or caravaners. Since she was alongside Vyerbluth, the Caravan Master approached her about stopping on this side or the other side of town.

Catching sight of Siofrita returning from the stopping site of the caravan, Sprthnt, Kuwaia, and Britta joined with her to learn of her own and convey their desires to meet with the two javelineers, being provided with the specifics of who the potential benders were.
