Come see my wares! After 45 years of this life on a wagon, I am the authority in the realm. I like to be able to see that glitter of gold.
Soldier!  Where are you coming from?   The war sir. Of course, of course... Have the soldiers found much in the way of gold?  I am looking to purchase goods for a reasonable price. I know nothing of gold sir. I am a soldier. I fight who I;m told to fight, and go where I;m told to go. The higher ups will know of that.I am back form the war. Just. Tired, thirsty, hungry and horny and if you can help with any of those, I will do business with you. Otherwise, Godd day! It is the front line soldiers who pillage.  Do not tell me how wars work!  I know that it is your class that gathers the gold, jewels and artwork for sale later on, as your pay is negligible. Do not insult me merchant. I know nothing of gold. Now, what are your wares for sale? Or do I have to beat you out of my path? Only items that glitter of gold... although for some work on the side, I would be willing to give you some of my bread. speak! There is a man who looks to be a peasant at the ramshackle home down the road, although I have heard on good authority that he was the crown prince, denied a marriage to his love, the maid.  When they ran away, they stole an abundance of gold.  Retrieve it for me. Did he steal it from you merchant? No, he did not... he stole from the King of the Southlands, who has offered a grand reward and status to recover the family jewels. And you'll share that reward with me? 50/50 yes?
