Skilled Roadwardens can find themselves leading militia after bandits or goblinoid warbands. Roadwardens will also occasionally ride with wagons or coaches with important cargo or passengers to bring their swordarm to the assistance of Coachmen and drivers. Because of who they are, Roadwardens get to hear of all kinds of treasures and adventures from captured bandits and Outlaws and sometimes the temptation proves too great and they set off as adventurers.
