Keep calm, right now with all the organizations at war it is harder to trade slaves.
In a time of peace with all the troops at their base, it doesn't really matter. But with frequent outings…a slave escape could easily become catastrophic. Thus the quality control on slaves has increased by a lot. Not as many random ones are bought.
Another good point is that we are obviously poor. I simply need to find a way to make them believe their losses would be heavy should they attack us. Wait, I think I may have an idea.
I turn to my companions. On the journey, they have been drinking some kind of extremely low-quality wine. Why? Well, they are as poor as I am. It is the kind that is extremely pungent and DISGUSTING.
For me to drink it, someone would have to pay me. They apparently got that for free from some weird guy. He was calling himself the number one brewer or something while saying stuff about reviving some kind of drunken fish.
