Part 67: Side Story: The Merchant's Path




This fine chap has a little problem we can take care of today.



This merchant is having trouble with bandits raiding his caravans. Simple enough.
This is another quest with two options. And you may remember that we already had an option given to us...
-----
METHOD ONE

Back when we started Alfyn's Chapter 2, one of the travelers we met on the way to Goldshore mentioned this route to us. So we simply need to share this info to the merchant.








Simple, but effective.


Anyway, we helped expand the merchant's network, which is nice. However, that's boring. I want to see some heads knocked!
-----
METHOD TWO

We talked to this man before. One of the brigands on the road to Goldshore mentioned a particular noble paying them to be jerks, and this guy pretty much blurts it out due to being the world's worst liar.


Anyway he gets beat up easily.



It's endearing at just how bad this guy is at keeping his bandit army secret.




He's just so bad at keeping this secret.






So...I guess we resolved this, somehow? Feels like this resolved itself, but whatever, I'll take the victory.


At least things worked out! Until next time!
