> Don't tell me you're doing it too!
"Me?" the wizard bursts into a small fit of laughter. "I'm way to old to be skeddadlin' across the country and runnin' up monster filled towers like you yung'ins can."
>"No, I'm a travelling actor. So, where is the nearest theatre?"
Due to your rather terrible attempts at lying, y'know because of the samurai armor, and there being no theater within about a thousand miles, the wizard gives you a rather comical squint. "And I'm the Dragon Queen. You're a knight, plain as day."
>"Yeah, what of it?"
You see the wizard grin at you through his thick facial hair and he taps on the caravan next to him. "Thought you'd like to make a deal! I'll sell it to you on the cheap. 300 gold! You'll need a place to sleep, carry extra supplies, and keep all your rescued damsels afterall!"
It's true that it's a good price, and you do need something of that description for this long journey, the only downside is that you only have 300 gold. Buying this caravan will break your bank, but the upsides might be enough to make it worth it. Do you deny his offer, haggle, or accept outright?
>By the way, where do we fall on the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism? Are we a Little Bit Beastly, or are we a Petting Zoo Person?
You are, like other cat people of the Torrential Bloom Kingdom, a Little Bit Beastly.
Dead for the foreseeable future. Towergirls will return when I do.
see you, space cowboy.
>Attempt haggling. Make like Joseph Joestar and set an extremely low price. One even you think is outrageous.

You try to reason with the wizard that, actually, he should be paying YOU to take this thing off of his hands!
...
However you're not nearly a good enough smooth talker for that to work, and all you get out of him is an unamused stare.
>Check if there is anything you can trade for the caravan.
You have your armor, weapon, and a few consumables, but nothing that would match the amount he offered to trade for it.

>... How about 200?
The wizard appears lost in thought for a second before abruptly exclaiming "Fuck it," and tossing you a... key? Before you can respond or ask any further questions he walks past you commenting "Have fun storming the towers!" You turn around to say something, but the old man appears to have vanished. Additionally, though you could swear he never touched you, your coinpouch is feeling 200 gold lighter!

You cautiously check the caravan. Peering inside the caravan is fairly spacy, but completely barren at the moment. In the front there is a sturdy looking work-horse ready to pull it. The only thing of note in it is a small blue book with "Achievements" written on the cover.

You open the book and flip through it's contents. Every single page is filled with squares containing a question mark, with more lines of question marks underneath them.

You step out of the caravan. The book has been left in the caravan.
As mentioned the caravan is shelter, storage, and a vehicle for travel. Take good care of it during your journey!

>Tally-ho!
You saddle on up on the front of the caravan, flick the reigns, and begin the rest of the journey to Brill.
You for just a little under two hours until you reached the town of Brill, a small human village on the very tip of the Grand Tower Kingdom’s border. The small community has plenty of hustle-and-or-bustle with villagers and shopkeepers going about their day.
This is a good place to do any shopping (If you can) or information gathering before heading off on your journey.
