After the beach raid, the Merchants of Death - which was how Alexios decided to name his mercenary company - began receiving more requests than they could take. Traders came to reclaim stolen cargo, watched the captured outlaws unloading it under guard, and asked whether Alexios's fighters could escort their next shipment.
Their recommendations spread through the harbor alongside news of Unbound's successes at the Guild. Between Black's backing and the company's own work, Alexios could choose his contracts, equipping the recruits with captured gear they were still arguing over how to divide.
Escort work kept those recruits busy while Brannoc examined the coastal notices, looking for another gathering worth visiting. Quinlan rather enjoyed the evenings when Morgana interrupted his supper with news of one.
On quieter nights, he stayed home with his women. His commanders could earn their wages and experience without him, and Vex had opinions about letting his food grow cold.
