"Ah, Franco, your back. How was your mission? Is everything still as expected?"
"Things went well, I am certain we weren't spotted. We watched them leave from the gate and tailed them for a few days to make sure that no one else was going to meet up with 'em. Our initial intel was a bit off though, they left with eleven more guards than expected." Franco said to his boss.
"Eleven more, that is not too many. What did you think of them? Did they seem strong enough to ruin our plan?"
"Nah, they all looked pretty weak. None of them even had any weapons on 'em or wore armor. I bet that they were just hired at the last minute for some extra numbers. They're probably just some rookie adventurers looking to make some coin."
"Ha, weaponless guards. They must have been pretty desperate for some extra hands if they hired schmucks like those." Axel, the boss of the large brigand group that was targeting the caravan Marcus' party was apart of said while laughing.
