Shattered Bastions

If they are losing all that they have for a place and training in the caravan, what would they even have to train on since they would no longer have anything to train with? I could understand trading half of what they own(especially their Outworlder clothes and phones) and their time/service, but all their gear seems excessive and more like robbery dressed in fine linens.

Also, Kyle should have been named Kevin with the attitude he's been showing to both Dylan with the blood gun and the adventurer's party who clearly outclass them.

I'm guessing this land is perpetually shrouded in night, which is why the Shadow Pack sizzled in the light and why the Caravan is more lit up than a Christmas tree in colors. The carts are probably made from scavanged material from Outworlder arrivals.

I mean, it's not like Dylan&Co. are in any position to negotiate. It's Thrain's 'offer' or going back in into the woods. Hell, if what he says about Outlander treatment is true, Thrain is probably banking on Dylan&Co. to just stick around after their tour, because why not, right? Seems like the best offer they'll get around these parts.

If their gear is part of their classes, they may not be transferable.
 
How much of this do you intend to post on the web? I thought you planned to get this published and earn some income off of this.

I'll be posting the 'rough' draft here, then Stub it after it's finished, leaving the first few chapters as an 'teaser', then, if I write a sequel, do it again. It's standard practice for Original Fiction, as publishers don't like having what they're asking you to buy up for free elsewhere.

Yeah, Kyle's anger isn't entirely unjustified, it's just his approach that is... Lacking.
