"Walls are a good means of defense generally," Jo-Anne replied, wondering why she was dragged into it. "But they're also an obvious target for a Risen swarm and a target that requires a force to maintain. A moving target though is harder to pin down, which makes traveling in the wilderness a safer bet. I know it's harder for that to work with the number we will be traveling with, but it's the only way to help the citizens untrained in war get through. Otherwise, there is no chance they would survive from Risen or other wilderness predators. There should be enough trained warriors that some of us can be stationed as direct defenders of the caravan while others can take care of scouting and distraction. Your help would even the odds more if you joined us. Therefore, I would suggest that joining the caravan would allow you to better survive though your help would be appreciated in the defense of the townsmen while your abilities would be used for your own needs here though then you are more likely to be overwhelmed. Nobody can be at their peak at all times and that's what you would need to be if you stayed behind the walls here, while in the caravan there are others to watch your backs and help you out when you need it."
