If they are already paid, I would keep them around until the end of the month, maybe assisting any caravans along the way. Otherwise, they can travel north with us and then head to Kimrid to see if there are any possible jobs. Unless the Baron feels he could use a bit of help with the orcs or other things that are causing issues with his people in Draea.

But, you have given me an idea about generating revenue.

TK - Are caravans currently going north/south between Alice/Draea/Kimrid? Having a group of soldiers that know the area could help make some coin. The road isn't safe just yet.

EDIT: Escorting caravans along the newly opened trade route is a totally legit course of action. You're not going to be able to just rent out mercenaries to do it, though. You'll need some PC/retainer involvement (at least one retainer).

Leitz wrote: ↑Sat Jun 26, 2021 6:09 pm Already working on that, which leads to the next question. In the definition of Raise Dead, the raisee can be dead "for no longer than four days per level of the caster above 7th", but you can have the spell at 7th level. So that's 0 days dead, per the wording. Does that mean a 7th level can only raise someone who just died? If so, then Ardath will take that as his 5th level spell. Otherwise, he'll take something else and if he has four days, he can do the raising the next day.

I'll go with the stricter option in my spell list, unless you decide otherwise. Working on that now.

Addendum Spells listed on character sheet. I separated some levels by "Travelling" or "Dungeon". He currently has the "Travelling" set. Also, he's been able to enchant an item or two with Continual Light, if anyone needs it. If nothing else, the leaders of the soldiers might appreciate an easy camp light.
