Carrack the Restless

Archer Point Defense
Carrack can be seen inside the fortress, and if you talk to him, he will tell:


 * Carrack the Restless: That double-crossing, triple-faced fool! That prancing peacock! That strutting simpleton! I'll throttle Jasper for this, I swear I will.
 * You: What's the trouble?
 * Carrack the Restless: The trouble? You're the trouble, mate. No offense. I'm sure you're not fully aware of the mess you've been dragged into. But we're all in a scrape, and it's Jasper's fault, plain and simple. That greedy son of a bugbear....
 * You: Why are you so angry at Jasper?
 * Carrack the Restless: because we had a deal! I've been stopping at Archer point for years now. It's not much of a place, but it's got four walls and fresh water -- and Jasper's boys have always kept the hobgoblins off my trail. But now they're away on some fool mission, and the roads aren't being patrolled. I lost a wagon on the way in! And I'll lose more on the way out, if the hobgoblins aren't stopped!
 * You: How many are there?
 * Carrack the Restless: At least fifty. Maybe more. It's not a whole tribe, but it's close, and there are ogres in the mix. I'm not going to lie, it's a nasty fix we're in. If you're hot for a fight, you'll see plenty of action today. If you're not, get into Archer Point's keep and stay safe! The hobs aren't strong enough for a siege. They'll just take my wagon and run away.
 * You: You're not worried about your wagon?
 * Carrack the Restless: Of course I am! But my losses are between me and Jasper. And I've kept you from your work long enough. Good luck in the battle, friend.
 * You: Prepare for the battle.
