Res was nearly boiling over with rage. Who did this man think he was? Res had just offered him three thousand gold pieces for a simple task, and the man demanded to know more about their goals! Yet he kept his peace.
'Vangard and I are mercenaries. We were hired by a servant of our bider, who prefers to remain anonymous. Our task is to transport a box with unknown content to a contact in the Giant Plains. Now Vangard here is confident of his abilities to complete this task without help, but since our employer has made gold availiable to hire other adventurers, I gladly make use of it. There are Wolf raiders in the plains, and if the worst comes to the worst we'll have to face such a band. Now I can offer you three thousand gold pieces, like I said. Will you join us or not?'
Res hoped the mage would believe every word he said and stop his questioning, for it was getting late and he wanted to find some more adventurers.
