"You aren't the bandits that attacked us - but are you here to help or to rob us even further?".

:

			(Lightheartedly) Why should we bother robbing you? Anything of any value has been taken already. HAHAHA!!

			Easy lad, we are no thieves. You look like you need water, food, and the healing arts. We'll be happy to help you. You can pay us back when you are a rich man. Hehe.

What happened here? Who did this and where did they go?

"Bandits! They attacked our caravan about an hour ago and took off towards the North. They killed everyone, took everything of value, and smashed all my chairs to bits! I managed to get away, but not before they roughed me up a bit."

He sits on the ground to rest a bit. "My name is Jasper. If you guys are heading East, can I go along with you? I need to get back to Harkenwold...that's where I'm from. We were delivering goods to Fallcrest, but now that I've got nothing left, I guess I need to go back home."

GM: I messed up on the directions in my last post (I"ll go back and fix them). You have been travelling East from Fallcrest to Elkridge. On the map below, you are at the yellow X, and Elkridge is the red X.

			We can get you as far as to where the trail to Elkridge branches off of the King's road. Then we must part ways there.

What did these bandits look like? Did they seem to be interested in anything in particular or searching for something?

OOC: I also check to see if I trust his story of being "left alive".

"Well, there were a few big orcs...and the rest were humans, I think. I uh...kinda ran off as soon as they attacked us. I'm just a furniture maker's apprentice, I don't even know how to fight, and these huge orcs were just killing everyone!" He casts his eyes downward, not looking anyone else in the eye. "I guess that makes me a coward, huh?"

"We can get you as far as to where the trail to Elkridge branches off of the King's road. Then we must part ways there. "

"Thank you, sir. There is a small village there at the crossroads, I know a few folks that can help me get the rest of the way home. I can't pay you much for your escort...this is all I have left" He pulls out a small pouch from his belt with what looks to be 11-12 gold pieces in it.

"The wagon doesn't look too bad, though. I bet we could fix it and you can sell it for a little more gold. Our horses are all gone, but we could hitch it to one of your horses."

"The wagon doesn't look too bad, though. I bet we could fix it and you can sell it for a little more gold. Our horses are all gone, but we could hitch it to one of your horses."

			That's all right, we are in a hurry to get to our destination. I vote we leave the wagon here, fellas.

 

[Goel]

My brothers right, we're not worried a bout a little bit of coin, we just need to keep moving.

 

[Nicodemous]

I agree. We'd better get moving. Those archers may have friends who are stupid enough to try something again.

GM: It is getting late in the day. Do you want to camp here, or travel a bit more before finding a place to stop for the night? Tor's Hold is the closest village on this road, and you can make it there by tomorrow afternoon if you camp here, or the morning if you travel all night. You are at the far left side of this map, just above the river. You'll eventually want to take the road to Hammerfast...the village of Elkridge is on that road.
