I have my doubts that the town guard has any positions open. If Eztli winters in Kirborg he'd likely end up doing menial labor. But why would he even want to travel there close to winter when more civilized places might offer more opportunities during the winter months?<br/><br/>Here's an idea: He arrives in early spring, but we'll keep our options open as to his connection with Gregor Kaal (Muse's character). Eztli has been hired by a merchant or someone else who has business in the village, on the road they meet Gregor and travel together for a while. That leaves it to Muse if Gregor wants to hire Eztli but they still know each other and arrive at the same time, giving them a conncetion we can explore at our leisure.
