Black Merchants guild

So, an idea. In every chapter there is a black merchant - well,
I don't know, if they are in 8, 9 and 10. But there isn't
actualy a thing mentioned about them in the story. So i thought
of a quest idea about them. This would be a quest in chapter
seven. If you traded with every black merchant in chapters 1 - 7
and you paid at least a medium price every time, then in chapter
7 one of them approaches you and offers you a bussines
proposition. He tells you that they are a secret organisation,
but the Balgaron Police are after them and they have almost
found their secret heaquarters. Police has captured one of them
and they are about to interrogate him. You have now two options:
- You can agree to help them and rescue the informant, that
means you have to kill some soldiers, and then maybe run away
quickly, while others chase you. You also have to protect the
informant. After you succeed, the black merchants cover your
tracks, make it look like an accident, so that no one else
suspects you. This path could be Fradz's idea.
- Or you can go and talk to the soldiers, which means you then
have to find the black merchant headquarters and kill their
leaders. This is a moral path and it could be Phodom's idea.
If you help the merchants, you lose lots of morality, but you
will be able to trade with the merchants in chapters 8 - 10, and
maybe they will set up a unique shop in chapter 7 or 8 (poisons,
daggers, cloaks, that stuff - and maybe part of Fradz set, couse
he's kind of a thief and murderer).
If you help the soldiers, there will be no more black merchants
in the game, but you can choose one big reward, like armour,
shield or sword - or part of Phodom Set, which would make sense
becouse Phodom is the most moral character in the team.
I think this Idea makes sense, becouse it expands the world
narration, and, most of all, it expands greatly the idea of
negative and positive morality.

I don't like the idea of something unique(like a part of the
char's set) being lost with a choice, but besides that I really
liked your idea :). Yes, the black merchants are really "put
aside". Perphaps we should give them more importance ::)?

Yes importance should be given to black merchants, but not in
that way. I mean even if item set's are replaced by some other
items. Its not possible to show that phodom & galeoth Are
involved in such crime. As we know Galeoth, phodom are high rank
dragon slayers & are part of law. Killing soldiers is not gonna
work I think. so another story should be there. & also new
player will in confusion as they don't know what they are goin
to get in upcoming chapters, also they are gonna get reward in
different chapters & we are losing lots of gold & morality,
which is not good. Maybe just a book or something else will be
better. But expansion of black merchant thing is must !

Well, you can do many things around the campaign which gives
Phodom low morale, that includes killing some people and
ignoring law and/or the honor and righteousness of a knight.
About Galeoth...He doesn't need to know about it ::).

I only see this work if this just was Fradz's quest because
Phodom wouldn't start to kill his own kingdom's soldiers. Even
Fradz would not start to do such a thing without a very good
reason.

THAT'S...so true :P. But no one of the heroes we have are that
greedy. Fradz is very...unique, but he isn't greedy. The most
greedy character(of the playable ones of course), in my opinion,
is Phodom, but not even close to the point of killing soldiers
and such.
BUT I still think it's a good idea. It's just that, a idea. You
(Aero) can make adaptations of it. If you have liked it, that
is.
