Interlude: Wanted:

“Wanted: A warm body and a Need to travel. Good pay.”

Every descent bar in town had it posted somewhere on there walls with a location and a time. For whatever reason, you decided, this might not be so bad. Turned out the address attached to it is a local office of the DC, Dwarvan Commonwealth , trade division.

The pay really is good, more than enough to cover the expenses for next month. The job's, simple, follow an old trade route and blaze a fresh trail. The DC will provide all the required tools and equipment. They even factored in a hazard clause in case of anything unexpected. Good luck and safe journey.
