You realize the wagons are cages with each serving a prison to a wild animal. Touring the line of carts, you come to face a variety of beasts. A haunched and mewling black cat launches its mankiller claws through the bars. Jumping away, you back into another cage which violently rattles with a bear's roaring. Thankfully, its powerful paws are too fat to fit between the bars. Another cage sizzles with the hissing of snakes. A man leans back from behind one of the wagons. He's got a wild look on his face as though you'd just caught him getting one off the wrist. {{EventSpeech|Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here?}} You inform the stranger that you are the captain of the {{EventVariable|Companyname}}. The man straightens up. {{EventSpeech|Oh, sellswords then! And I thought my luck had up and run off on me! Look, I got a problem that my hired hands refused to help with. They didn't care when they didn't know better, but the damn cloak fell off the wagon and then they just wouldn't shut up about how I wasn't paying them enough to transport such goods!}} {{EventButtons}} {{EventButton|What do you need help with?

You immediately see why his hired hands quit: a frenzied and mercurial wildman is sitting inside the cage. Raw wrists bleed against his shackles, signs of attempted escapes. Half-starved, the wildman gnaws on sticks poking out from a tumbleweed of a beard. Seeing this sad sight, you grab the stranger by his shirt and slam him against the wagon. {{EventSpeech|Does that look like an animal to you?}} The animal tamer grins, ivory for teeth. He explains himself. {{EventSpeech|Cityfolk have gotten wind of the 'uncivilized' wildmen and wish to see them up close. I am only fulfilling this new demand as any businessman would. Now, all I need help with is to get that dead body out of the cage.}} He points toward a corpse in the corner of the cage. The wildman rears back, snarling, and goes to protectively sit on the body. The animal tamer shakes his head. {{EventSpeech|One of my helpers got too close and, well, yeah. I can't go into town with that mess in there so I thought maybe you could help me fish it out. I'll pay plenty, of course. A pouch of 250 crowns sound good to you? Just reach on in there and yank that garbage out.}} {{EventButtons}} {{EventButton|Alright, I'll send a man in.

He rolls up his sleeves and approaches the cage with both hands out. {{EventSpeech|Whoa there, easy now. Easy!}} The wildman gets up off the dead body and goes to the other side of its habitat. The sellsword easily grabs the boot of the corpse and drags it toward the bars. It slips through with sickening ease, already clumped up in the fashion of discarded wet clothes. Guts and limbs dribble off the edge of the wagon's platform. The animal tamer cheers happily. {{EventSpeech|Thank you so much! And you made it look so easy, too!}} {{EventVariable|Taskedbro}} stares at the dead body with the realization that could have easily been him. {{EventSpeech|Yeah.

That's a nice corpse you got there. A great corpse, truly one of the best I've ever seen. How about I just... take it... out...}} When the mercenary reaches in, the wildman swipes out. It's too fast to even see. {{EventVariable|Taskedbro}} slowly turns around. There's a black hole where one of his eyes used to be. The wildman squishes the eye between his teeth, a white goop bursting forth like a popped pustule, and it turns into a filmy paste as he chews. The animal tamer throws you a sack of crowns and runs off. {{EventSpeech|Not liable! I am not liable!}} {{EventVariable|Taskedbro}} passes out as a few vengeful brothers stab the imprisoned wildman to death. All the caged beasts roar up as though you'd just slain their leader.

Suddenly, {{EventVariable|Wildman}} grabs the animal tamer by the head and drives him into the bars. You go to save the tamer, but the imprisoned wildman soars across the cage with atavistic terror in his eyes. Stepping back for your own safety, you can only watch as this bestial man sets upon the tamer. Both wildmen pull and drag on the man's face. The concussed man groggily yells. {{EventSpeech|I thought we had an agreeeeeemeeeaahh!}} {{EventVariable|Wildman}} corks his thumbs into the man's eyes while the imprisoned wildman grips the tamer's mouth and pulls down. His head is literally ripped apart by the seams and sinews. A few men vomit as the tamer's brains falls out where his tongue should be, a truly awful way of speaking one's mind. The 'warden' taken care of, {{EventVariable|Wildman}} looks at you and at the wildman with a sort of 'can we keep him?' gesture. {{EventButtons}} {{EventButton||#Wildman1|Absolutely disgusting.

He states that in the south they consider slavery a part of the natural order. The monk continues. {{EventSpeech|True, but neither you nor this wildman are kin to their way of life.
