Deciding on his job Raph went over to the Task master and told him "I'll be taking the escort job through the Barren".

"Pulling out the big guns right away eh?" inquired the task master, seeing that Raph was new to the faction.

"Actually, I was thinking more that a hammer is a terrible hunting tool. I'm also not very good with children so this escort job sounds just right" said Raph confidently. "Well, if you'll excuse me I'd better get going so I don't miss my charge".

"Take care to come back in one piece!" hollered the man as Raph left and ran down the road to find the caravan.

Finding the caravan leader Raph reported in, "Alright, welcome aboard. Just hop on the back of the last wagon and we'll be off! Your work starts when we get to the Barren so rest well until we get there, can't have our escort falling asleep on the job after all".

As Raph made his way to the back of the caravan he noticed how relaxed the people he'd be travelling with were. "Oh good, looks like this job won't prove to be too difficult after all!" hopping on the last cart and leaning back Raph closed his eyes and began to doze off.
