166 The Merchant Robber Appears

I finally met up with Osgar in the old port area then headed for the abandoned warehouse. The only reason I decided to come along was to understand why the merchant robber was after the old man. After we left the valley, she got in touch with us through some passing merchant.

For a robber, she had quite the network among merchants. All our communication had gone through a network of wandering salespeople, either outside the city or within its tall gray walls.

"Let me do the talking," Osgar said as our meeting spot came to light. It was a large warehouse that had seen better days. It tiled roof started crumbling long ago. Its windows were barricaded with wooden plaques, no sign of glass on either one of them.
