Bah, let them go we're marauders not slavers. Besides, if we get a reputation as slavers we'll get a lot more resistance to our robberies and no one wants that.

Sell the people. We're practically nobodies. Selling people just one time won't establish us a reputation unless we brag about it or keep doing it. This is a good way to get us started with a nice injection of cash.

Yeah. We need money, and who gives a fuck about random farmers?

Also, if we let them go they might bring some actual threats for us.

+1 to the selling.
Keep the Merchandise healthy and treat them well, no point of bringing damaged wares. Make sure the men keep their hands off the ladies they can go have some fun in town once we sold the slaves off.

+1, we should also check out any nearby homesteads, there are bound to be some, and we might be able to recycle the torching a barn strategy. We could get some more prisoners and loot that way before the news spreads and a posse comes after us. Are there any Authorities in the wastes that hunt Marauders? If so we should be wary. We don't even have a group name, our Reputation won't matter if people can't even talk about us. The more money we have, the bigger and more well-armed our group can be, which should be our current goal. Once we get to Haven we should look into buying a Van or large transport vehicle of some kind, to give us some more mobility.

How much is a salarius worth? And why exactly would a family of Farmers build a homestead only one day's travel away from a place like Haven? Why are kids worth more at the market if they can't do as much labor as an Adult?

Don't ask questions on why kids are worth more, but see the fact that these farmers managed to make that much cash here maybe we should let them stay. You know eat the eggs not the chicken.

If you're suggesting that we tax them then no, there are only 8 of them, it's not worth the hassle. If we're going to tax anybody let's wait until we have an army, then we can tax an entire settlement.

Maybe because they're easier to brainwash and control in general. Maybe it's just because they can learn more than adults.

Selling children as prostitutes as a mechanic in a game could be interpreted as a violation of the forum guidelines, so do us all a favor and never bring up that idea ever again.
