You procured and transported goods on behalf of your clients, ensuring the contraband’s delivery to places where it was frowned upon, forbidden, or illegal.

Perhaps you ferried illicit substances across long distances in search of profit. Perhaps you hid information under the noses of the powerful, moving among throngs of people in a crowded urban center. Perhaps you helped those caught behind enemy lines move to new locations in the dark of night. Whatever your reasons or client list, you’ve always been able to use a combination of personality and information gathering to ensure that your operations succeed … more or less.

# Adventuring Motivation

Smugglers operate in the shadows—generally being known only to their clients—and focus on a singular mission: finding and transferring goods. As you begin your own adventures, consider why you have decided to take on a broader, more visible role.
