He pulls out his identification papers.
Tarmoth Trademaster: "Hmm... so you are. Very well, I suppose Giovanni's having you do his dirty work while he sits at home drinking away. Has the entire dye load survived your travel? Do you have all of the carts with you?"
I'll also stop by the church, looking for a monk or cleric to act as Holy Priest for my warband.
