*While I don't appreciate the loud suggestions from the prisoners, and while I would really like to go to a city soon, I agree that we need money. I hitch up the cart and put the two in the back. I tell them
"We'll go to the fort, but let me do ALL the talking, no objections. We need to stay in character, and that mean's were strong, soldier types, and you're prisoners, enemies of the town, all that jazz."
*We go to the fort. I approach a guard captain.
"Hello good sir. My friend and I plan on leaving for the city soon to lock up these sorry northern scumbags. Do you happen to have any extra supplies or weapons to assist us in our journey to remove evils like these from your countryside? We would also be glad to deliver anything that needed delivery, or assist you in any way we could during our journey. We could take out bandit camps, hunt dangerous beasts, really anything to help. After all, that's what we're here for."
