Can I RP the caravan or would you prefer to keep them as GMNPC?

Also, I plan on inviting Clan Longstrider (Since they are the Wardens), Clan Reverent and Clan Karolus (Since they are the most affected by the bandit problem) to help me clear the roads from the bandits. Note that I won't tell any of the clans that I actually invited others to help as well so, should everyone accept, it'd be a surprise who's here as well.
