Well the slave run difficulty has been ramped up now, went to slave camp and about 15 hostiles with melee weapons.
Protip: Bring Female trapper slaves with you, between 6 of those and my 14 ap lp build most slave runs take 2 turns at most. You can send the your slaves right next to the guards before you initiate the mission, they don't stand a chance.
sell them in den..... there is no profit in just selling slaves anyway. slaveruns is where the money is at. den is semi safe. random sneakers just thats about it.
