OOC-Just to make things easier for the two of you.
The weather couldn’t be better for traveling as you leave Westgate. The well traveled route to Nathlekh City rolls by quickly and without difficulty. Way stations where traders gather for evening rests provide some additional news about your chosen route. Attacks on caravans from Xorhun (on the other side of the mountain range) bound for Nathlekh City have increased. Something or someone seems to be driving monsters out of the mountains and forests and into more desperate activities. Rumors of a lost shipment of enchanted ceremonial armor that being searched for by one of the more prominent trading costers of Nathlekh City (the Jade Monkey Coster) and the reward offered for it.

Some updates about your travel companions:
1.Tom and Johnny Carter work well as a father and son team. Johnny begins his training with the longbow and shows an aptitude for it. He is already proficient with a crossbow and is learning quickly that an increased rate of fire is only the beginning of the upsides of using a longbow.
2.Tracker keeps out in front but makes a habit of checking back with the caravan throughout the day. His dog, Toadkiller, lopes along with the caravan and is generally playful although you notice that he becomes "still" when he takes notice of something (i.e. birds and other small game).
3.The other drovers (Jim, Eric, Ken, Jack, and Bill)seem to get along well with one another and appreciate you (Gildin) taking charge. It only takes 2 nights for them to get into a routine for setting/striking camp.
Members of the Caravan include:
