Riding in your direction is a large, unsavory looking band of men. All of them are armed and scowling. One of them sees you and shouts to the others. They whoop and ride up and form a loose circle around your party. The group seems to be made up of drunken brawlers and other degenerates. DC 10 spot check to notice several of them have nooses on their saddles.Interaction: The leader of the mob, Scarl, will canter his horse in front of the others. "Yar there lads, have you seen two rotten scoundrel dogs wot look like outta werk soldiers dressed in rags? One had him a patch on his eye. Tha o'er of em knifed good 'ole Slim Jones in the back, and we aim to see em swing afore the days out. Pay for deputizin be 1 silver a day, plus food. When we catch'd em, ya get a piece o' gold. By the looks uv ya lot ya know which end o'the sword means business." Scarl is the town deputy and has hastily assembled this posse to track down the attackers.Background: Rodrick and Jack are worshippers of Erythuul. They thought it would be a good idea to rile up this small community and lure out the few men of fighting worth into a trap. They went to town, started a fight in the local saloon and did indeed stab Slim jones in the back. Slim is still alive, but in bad shape. He was the tavern owner. After they deal with the men, they are going to go back to town, kill everyone they can find and burn the small village to the ground.The posse most likely will be in dire straights if they go head to head with killers like these two, but hopefully the PC's balance out the struggle. If the PC's are obviously well armed or the fight goes sorely against them, Rodrick and Jack will try play for the PC's sympathy. They will claim that the fight was instigated by the townsfolk, and that Slim Jones was cheating. They will ask to go their way and leave in peace, even giving up a potion of Cure Lights Wounds to heal Slim as a goodwill gesture. They will of course come back and get revenge when the PC's are no longer around. Any character with Gather Information or similarly appropriate skill can make a DC 20 check to know that both Rodrick and Black Jack are wanted men with a 200gp reward on the both of them.</blockquote>
