As she approached the merchant, one of the guards made to intercept her as the other continued to pack up. It was only with a nod at his hired help that he let her pass, though he still hovered around to keep an eye on her. Now that she was closer, she could see the human trade was a fairly handsome middle aged man, with a short black goatee and slicked back hair. His sharp and chiseled features seemed harsh though, and he had an air of arrogance around him.<br/><br/>"What can I do for you, madam?" The merchant said haughtily as he continued to oversee the other guard as they put away the boxes of valuables before she had a chance to explainherself. "We have mostly packed up you see, and we must be on our way. We need to make haste after all."<br/><br/>As she explained why she was bothering him, his eyes finally took a moment to look away from his employee, and look the young woman up and down. An eyebrow arched upward and he looked away from her again.<br/><br/>"There may be a chance, but there's not much room on the cart for another, and you would probably just slow us down." He replied with a slight sneer. "I cannot afford to be slowed down, as time is money. Perhaps if you could compensate me for such a trouble, I might be willing, but you don't look like you have anything of value so I very much doubt it, Orc."<br/><br/>Contrary to what he said, by the looks of it he would have space on the wagon. The man probably either didnt trust her to ride with his wares, or thought she was too poor to afford paying for protection and was just wasting his time.<br/><br/><strong>Roll for diplomacy</strong><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Freywind</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/a/ac/Daily_drawing_5_5_2016_half_orc_girl_by_ronindude-da1gm28.png)<br/><br/>Str: 14, Dex: 18, Con: 12, Int: 7, Wis: 13, Cha: 13<br/><br/>Items:<br/>-One set of simple Orcish clothes<br/>-Travel pack<br/>-2 simple daggers<br/>-Bed roll<br/>-Rope (50ft)<br/>-Iron pan<br/>-10 Rations<br/><br/>Pp: 0              Gp: 20              Sp: 0              Cp: 0</div></div>
