I still dun trust David even from this sml bit. Seems like one obvious possibility, what with 'planted issues' on the wagon itself, use of the bandit roads-- maybe just purposefully picking one likely route to have an encounter, or even more directly hiring them (whether specifically or like 'just hit every marked merchant passing by on x day or something); or true, it could be luck and isolation is finally starting to get to me





Followed up with the ready prepared rooms and whatnot, which, yeah, could just be a nice gesture in payment from a company, or they could be alterations to a 'celebration' originally planned.

Yeah, I think I need some sleep at least....
Still dun know about trusting him though....
