Indeed, this is what Sanctus Bellator, my Cavalier, had to say about this:
"The journey from Candlekeep was rather uneventful, were it not for the terrible events that led to my foster father's demise. I found myself completely alone in the wilderness, lost. Candlekeep, with its regimented fortified walls had been my home for the past 20 years, and Gorion never allowed me to explore the outside. Without his influence, Candlekeep's gates are now closed to me. The only place I could hope to get any answers, the Friendly Arm Inn, was far away, so I decided that in order to be safe on my journey there I had to look for companions to travel with me, while avoiding any danger the best way I could.
A sudden surge of courage rekindled inside me, and as I took my first steps into the unknown I heard a distant voice calling me. It brought me great comfort when I recognised Imoen's voice as she caught up with me, for I Knew then I was not alone! She joined me and we quickly scouted the area south of Lion's Way, looking for more companions to join us. We came across Kivan, a ranger who was hunting bandits, and he was very keen to join us. I sensed he was trustworthy, and his cause was indeed righteous.
We made our way back to Lion's way and then east, where we met a couple of travellers who wanted us to go with them to Nashkel. Though they seemed friendly enough, and even offered us a potion of healing, I decided to not let them travel with us, for something about them did not seem right. I detected an evil presence all around them, and decided it was not worth risking it at this stage.
Reaching the Coast Way, we moved carefully northwards using stealth, avoiding any dangerous encounter on our way, until we finally reached the Friendly Arm Inn!!!
After a brief encounter with yet another bounty hunter right on the steps leading inside the Inn, we finally met Gorion's friends, Jahera and Khalid. They spoke to me at length, and said it was Gorion's wish they should accompany me if something foul befell him, but they said I was a grown man now, and the decision should be mine. I wasn't really given much time to think about things, and at that moment any extra valuable companion seemed a great blessing to have around.
Jahera strikes me as an independent, very opinionated woman, and a fierce warrior too. Khalid, on the other hand, didn't strike me as a very confident and tough warrior at all. I will bring him along, though rather reluctantly, for I sense when he finds himself in the heat of a battle, his courage and stamina might not stand to the test, and he could end up falling in battle.
After they joined us, we all bought some equipment at the Inn and decided to have a look around and met some folks. We met a lady, Joia, in one of the houses dotted around the Inn, who asked us to fetch a ring for her from some hobgoblin thieves just north of the inn.
Humanoid thieves! How could I deny her such request! To battle we shall go with these hobgblings, and Khalid shall be put to the test..."
How was that for roleplaying? lol
