"Well met Derrik." Roark said, shaking the man's hand.  "I am Roark Axeslinger, here to help you against any bandits that may attempt to take your goods.  Master Ivrybane was good 'nuf to loan me a donkey for the trip, so I'll be riding near the back of the caravan.  Don't worry, though, that doesn't mean I'll shy away from battle should the need arise."
