The ogres haven’t seen them yet.”“How are they armed?” The man known only as The Fancy Bandit wanted to add the adventurers wealth to his own personal reserves, but he wouldn’t throw away good men against seasoned foes.“Very well, sir. They have warriors, the two giants, a wizard, and a small humanoid acting as their healer.”“Dwarf?” The bandit lord’s interest was piqued.“I don’t think so, sir. If she is then she’s not like any dwarf I’ve ever seen before. She’s much shorter.”“Interesting.” These travelers could be useful he thought.“Should we have at them, sir? It would be quite a challenge, but I believe we could take them.”“No, I don’t think so. Let’s see how they fare against the ogres. Speaking of, what is latest news on the ogre hordes massing north of the Onan River?” Have the Onans detected them?”“The hordes are quite substantial, sir. They could crack Onaway open like an egg. And the Onans haven’t detected them at all. I suspect sorcery. If Midas hadn’t been with us on our first foray then I doubt we would have detected them without his magic.”“Don’t be so over dramatic, Titanus. We are simply better at our jobs than the prattling sycophants of Onaway.” The Fancy Bandit wished he could be sure that this whole situation could be turned towards his favor.“And what of the intruders?” Titanus wanted the possessions of the group’s leader for himself. “If they survive the ogres, that is.”“For right now they aren’t to be harassed. If they fight well then I might have use for them later. If they die then move in mop up the ogres and take anything that is left over. Do not reveal yourselves unless they have all fallen. Understood?”“Absolutely, sir.” Titanus saluted his lord before moving off to prepare his next patrol.“Yes, they might prove very useful indeed.” The man known as The Fancy Bandit grinned like the cat about to swallow the canary.</blockquote>
