I doubt they would serve you well as mounts, good sir. As for men, we already lost several good men to the despicable creature. We wouldn't be able to manage with less than we currently have. We have some money, though, and could pay you for your effords."<br/><br/>The man swept droplets of sweat from his forehead as he waited for the soldier's reply, forgetting the demand for women. He was quite aware that nothing could be gained for free, but they needed that monster dead, and could only hope to accomplish that with the help of these trained men. the other men also looked at the soldier with pleading eyes, despair written over their faces.
