1. On merchants, I do hope we’ll get more as the game progresses, but wouldn’t want them to be artificially isolated from events. Though were you aware Withers in the camp will trade with you? He doesn’t have vast amounts of money, but enough to offload stuff as long as you’re not going totally loot mad. Personally I don’t tend to trade with him just because it doesn’t make story sense to me, but it’s an option.
Volo also is a great merchant once you get him at camp!
