Erica goggled at the range of items that Mika had offered her. Not only a decent quality shirt, trousers and underwear, but also a set of leather armour, and did she spy a scabbard in there?
"I can't take all this," Erica said "That's alot of stuff to give up for a story."
"You misunderstand," Mika said "The shirt and trousers are what I offer for our initial bargain. However, in light of the information you have shared, I would make a further bargain. In exchange for protection on the road back to Prince's Hamlet, and aid in retaking the town of Caesar's Folly from the orcs once we have gained aid from your town."
"I will help you," said Erica "But I don't think taking too many warriors from Prince's Hamlet is a good idea. We have our own problems with the goblins."
"I would not take the warriors charged with defending the town," Mika assured her "I was thinking of asking adventurers to aid in the retaking of Caesar's Folly would be a better way to go about it."
"And what do you offer in return for this bargain?" Erica asked
"I offer the armour and weapon you see here, as well as food and supplies for the road," Mika said "As well as a share of any loot the orcs have collected. While I'd prefer it returned to it's owners, I do not think that would be feasible with so many likely being dead."
