Red Dragon Sc*ms

"Um... Sir Magus... Why did we walk from this way? This isn't the right way, isn't it?" The merchant asked Adrian as they made a turn when they finally reached a large clearing before reaching the end of the Deadwood Pass.

"It's because this way is much safer. There are probably several bandit groups waiting for us at the end of the pass." Adrian 'explained'. He couldn't exactly tell him, they were going to complete their second mission here.

"O-Oh, I see." Merchant nodded, he didn't care about anything - as long as they reached their destination safely together with the goods, it was all fine.

After changing their ways and leaving the Deadwood Pass through another way, they finally reached the Vesper's Peak about an hour later. Adrian ordered them to stop again, telling the merchant they should rest before continuing, and look out for any ambushes.

Merchant readily agreed even asking him and his team to check throughly.
