The cargo is there hidden under a bunch of silk and fine garments.

You sit next to the caravan driver while Arlo and Anne walk on each side closer to the back of the wagon.

You come to a guard checkpoint a few miles away from the capital. Two guards hold up their hands ordering you to stop.

The caravan driver smiles and stops. "What is all this about?", he asks feigning confusion.

"We got a tip that some smuggled goods were coming through here…as a precaution we are checking all cargo."

The caravan driver looks over at you.

What do you say?
