42 Willowdale Town (1/2)
The closer the group got to the town, the stronger the group of bandits that wanted a toll to let theh It was a pretty norroup of bandits that asked the highest toll, a couple bags of copper and a few of the weapons that the caravan had picked up along the way
The last toll was really stress free as the bandits were veterans, so a few drinks later on to catch up Rahz was a little perplex at the whole situation and looked at his dad for answers Rhaen laughed before saying ”nobody is born a Bandit, anization and in this case it was the bandit group They could of joined the adventurer guild or a roup as well; however, they all have rules and many restrict your freedom more than others”
The caravan continue on their way towards the town and very soon they started seeing the outline of the buildings and the tall defensive towers There was already a line of people co surprise by the different races and the diversity of the creatures pulling big carts full of goods
Willowdale was a high 10s low 20s town and as such it had develop quite nicely The Mayor was a very powerfulad infrastructure of the place To stimulate trade the Mayor reoods and provided excellent protection to anybody inside the city
The bandits taxing people outside the city had to behave when they were inside as even their leader didn't dare to offend the powerfularound the caravans and found a particular one that had people in cages There were a few cat people, a couple of halflings and at the back of the caravan there was a dark Elf girl about 12 years old The little girl was very proud and even inside the cage she had not lost her dignity
Rahz walked to his father's side and asked,” Why are those people in cages?”
”They are slaves to be sold in the market, probably survivors of a war between factions Why? is there one that you are interested in?”
Rahz was a little taken aback by how nonchalant his father was about the whole issue but he shrugged his shoulders and said ”Maybe”
They continued on their way and froirl in the cage to see if her attitude had change but Rahz was disappointed She was still very aloof and in one occasion when he was caught staring she gave hie and never once had seen the finger gesture beforeWhen Rahz asked his dad about what it h of his father that turn to look at the little girl and gave her the thuht a sirl
The slave trader noticed the interaction between the little girl and the 2 Barbarians and as an excellent business man, he immediately took the opportunity to advertise his product
”Esteemed customer!! she is a fine commodity and would be auction in the main plaza 3 days from now, her talent is exceptional and is our best catch this ti plenty of cash”
Rhaen nodded to the slave trader and continue walking towards the entrance If his son wanted to oals
”Move along buroup as they were not interested in any of what they had to sell, fro that they had was trash
Rahz was starting to get tired of people calling hiuards but it was quickly stop by his father
