Evening! Reading ACoK at the moment and something popped up that I thought to ask you about: Is it somewhat unrealistic that Night’s Watch recruiter’s travel alone? Yoren takes something like thirty criminals (and I imagine some volunteers) from King’s Landing so they could easily overpower him. There’s no mark made on people meant for the wall that we know of, and they do not yet wear black garments so it seems it would be quite easy to just escape and get away with it. Thoughts?

Yoren didn’t go alone tho – he hired sellswords to guard the convoy. And keep in mind, a lot of the 30 are kids.
