"I can sneak some and I have spell missile weapons. But I too prefer the city"

Sssso all are City folk

Gorgath nods at his polearm.

"No problem. I here for good money."

In reply to Gorgath (msg # 50):

"Oh, yes. Fires work well out of the city as well as in it. So does magic, in my experience. Pleasantries done? Can we leave now and get to work?"

In reply to Gareth (msg # 42):

OOC: Berry took a short detour to consult with her Mentor. She'll be along shortly!

Haveron chuckled ad Gareth's impatience and then added to the caravan master "Well, I wouldn't let their city savvy concern you too much. You just need capable people to protect your caravan if the deterrant isn't enough.

I can give you some assurances that we'd be more than competant at ensuring your investment doesn't fall into unsavoury hands.

Also, given how quickly this lot seem to burn through their coin, I think they have added incentive to get paid for a job well done he said, and then added with an additional chuckle.

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 53):

"If all of you are cirified, you are going to have to trust in me to get through the mountains. "

Gorgath turns to Haveron,

"Who you? Why you speak for me?"

She looks at Gorgath "Well, I am a city girl. Though if the mountains are anything like the undergraound, I do have experience with that"

In reply to Aldubu Alsaghir (msg # 54):

Why? What be You?

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 57):

Gareth turns to Gorgath.

"Haveron has a big mouth, so I let him use it for us so we don't have to waste time talking. You don't have to, but it might suit you as it suits me. Say, where is Berry...Haveron, you seem to have lost her on the way here. She will be along presently, I presume..."

[OOC: Yes, I did read Berries note, but Gareth didn't, so I am filling in for it IC!]

Haveron's visage darkened at Gareth's comments Now now, better be sure to keep polite in polite society he said. Then he looked at Gorgath "I didn't speak for you, I spoke for those that had come to the caravans with me from the inn

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 57):
The scout looks intently at the lizard warrior, and shrugs.
"I am the guide in service to this caravan. I grew up in these mountains, and I have spent time beneath the guild here as well. If you are good with the trails we take, I find that respectable."

In reply to Aldubu Alsaghir (msg # 60):

Noticing Haverons visage darken, Gareth responds

"No insult intended. Just describing as I saw it, though perhaps not using the most suitable words. Word and their meanings seem to have subtly changed since..." His voice trails off.

In reply to Aldubu Alsaghir (msg # 60):

Then your wordsss make sensssssse

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 62):

"Prepare the usual contracts."

So when do we leave. I can't wait to get going."

In reply to Mubark Al Fahid (msg # 63):

"Rhe caravan leaves tomorrow. "


Contracts are as follows:
Expected duration of journey is 2 weeks

(Base rate - $150 COL per week)
62pt: $200- $150=$50 per week
125pt: $400- $150=$250 per week
187 pt: $600- $150=$450 per week
250pt: $800- $150=$650 per week

Possibilities exist for bonus pay;
Base rate is altered by wealth level.
Pay is dispensed at end of journey, when the caravan breaks up in Al Menir.

In reply to Mubark Al Fahid (msg # 65):

"Right. How do we get bonus pay?"

Haveron grinned at Gareth and then casually mentioned I expect it'd involve putting some people back to the mud

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 67):

"Probably. I just want to be sure I get the right ones!"

She grins at Gareth "Making up for lost time?"

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 69):

"Hell yeah."

In reply to Gareth (msg # 70):

Berry finally shows up...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 71):

Gareth has little to do in way of preparing. He has some gruel at the Guild, and crashes overnight, but is ready to go very early next day.
