You do not and cannot take the caravan into the city itself, which may confuse unfamiliar players. They will thank you for your assistance and compensate you as per contract. Just before arrival at your destination, speak to the caravan. Waiting is performed by default with Space. The caravan's accompaniment is not sufficient to defend itself from a large band try to keep it within line of sight at all times. Speak to them once (required), then set out once prepared for travel.Ĭaravans move at a languid pace, easily allowing the player to scout ahead or hunt bandits that are attracted to the caravan but flee upon spotting the player's forces. You begin the quest with the caravan already trailing you. Note that you can only accept one escort contract (not including caravans you offered your services to directly). Bandits will become slightly more aggressive towards you and your escort, making this type of mission an excellent source of combat experience. The caravan has its own limited escort of Caravan Guards. This quest consists of guarding a merchant caravan to another city.
You earn some money and reputation with the town by doing this.
