Guard Xaber:
Hey, stranger. If you are going to Giran, don't wander off this road along the way. If you leave the path for even a moment, you could suffer an unlucky mishap with the runaway troops. They are wicked and violent criminals, so before you leave, go to the temple and pray to Einhasad that you never meet them.
Ask about the runaway troops "Tell me about the local lord and tax rate." Quest
