A merchant has arranged transport for a valuable shipment through the eastern roads. The cargo itself remains confidential, though he warns that several interested parties may already know of its existence.
The merchant will be accompanied by two hired bodyguards—a 'seasoned knight' and an 'arcane consultant'—but additional protection has been requested due to increasing bandit activity outside Dawnport.
Ensure the caravan reaches its destination safely. If an ambush occurs, protect both the cargo and its passengers at all costs.
"Sometimes the safest road is the one everyone knows... and that's exactly why it's dangerous."
