Ji-ho raised an eyebrow when Zenkris spoke of avoiding the bugbears, and then smiled. "Please, I know who to tell about the bugbears, and they may offer you work on the caravan. However, I will offer that I also have an adventure that could use the talents both of you have expressed. If you want to join the caravan, I wish you well. However, my adventure offers less and more."
He stood, and motioned to Zenkris and Barnaby to join him.
If they do: (I am assuming we have given our names)
Ji-ho smiled, and then speared a small piece of meat with his small knife. "In my culture, nobles are not automatically given lands to rule, it is at the decision of the emporer. Knighthood is different as well, but much the same idea. I am both, but found that my passion to lead armies is unnecessary when the empire is at peace. Thus I am here; there is a need for what I am crafted to do."
"Barnaby, your knowledge would be most useful, the adventure I embark upon has cultural and historical complexities that I am not familar with. Zenkris, I am many things, but not a good scout. If you can avoid such creatures on your own, my troop could use you." Ji-ho took some bread and cheese, and then shrugged. "The down side is that I have been asked to find adventurers who would work for shares. You would be working for me, and you do not really know me. I can tell you that I treat my people fairly, but that's just my word. Nor do I know that we will find any treasure at all, the goblins, or whatever we go against, may have despoiled everything and left."
He sat back, and looked at each of them in turn. "Is this something you would be interested in? What questions would you have?"
