There are no mages in the area, the town is quite small, roughly 1100 people. However, it is the only major area of trading and transportation in the area. It is known for syrup and trapping, and several outposts surround the town that secure the raw materials for these enterprises. While in town, a merchant named Jandabad who has purchased some textiles and building tools is ready to return to a medium sized city, Arjuna, of about 40,000 people on the other side of the mountains. He will be heading through the woods, up the mountain chain, and the over the pass and thence to the other side. There are some bandits and creatures along the route. He offers to pay Alzar 5 gp a day to guard his caravan. This is a perfect opportunity to get to civilization where Alzar can acquire a spellbook and library.

He has time to head back to the castle, bring out lab equipment and books for two wagons, and then move back to town. They leave a few days later. In their troop are four other fighters as guard, Marilla, a human priestess who is quite good, several other merchants and servants, a family, and a sailor who washed up down river from an accident and is returning home.
