Make it quick, traveller! I have to get back on the road, or what is left of it in this forsaken world. So you thought about getting into the vagrus business eh? Tired of this dirty hole you call your home you want to feel the wind around your nose and the grindy sand beneath your feet and all that romantic nonsense? Let me tell you a story and then you tell me again if you want to lead a life like that. Margins are thin these days. Befriending one of the great houses is certainly a good idea for a freelancer like me, but getting there is quite a grind and takes determination. Sure we can sell this pottery over to the towns near the crytal forest for a revenue of a few silver coins, but it is a week long trip and the wages of my crew are already at 6 silver, not even including the supply cost to keep everyone fed and happy. I also want to get back to that old rich lady in the big city up north and help her with her problem, but right now it is just not profitable enough to go there just for that reason. If I go to the mines first and get some marble to haul into the big city it might just do the cut, but then we are in for the long run and a week long journey through the bone fields filled with undead and bandits... Ultimately, it is all about planing ahead.
