Attention, Adventurers!
Do you belong to the Fighter's Guild or Mage's Guild?
Are you between jobs, and maybe looking for a bit of coin in the meantime?
Well, today is your lucky day: Varo Imports is looking for some temporary mercenaries to escort a caravan to Cheydinhal.
The caravan consists of two covered wagons drawn by Clydesdales, and each does include a driver--
their names are Astav and Quick-Whip.
Although Hestia Varo is overseeing this venture personally,
she will likely elect a commander to decide formation and tactics.
The job will take approximately three days: a day there and a day back,
with a day in between for the trade and a rest period.
The mercenaries are expected to have their own horses,
and everyone will need their own camping materials;
meals, and equipment upkeep, is provided by Noveni.
Those who are interested should contact Varo Imports Escort Coordinator,
Matthius, with their Guild recommendations.
Once accepted, report at dawn on the date that will be supplied to you
at the Chestnut Handy Stables to begin the journey.
