Bandits………
(Levels 1-10 Please Sat 01/17 8 PM EST Event by DM’s Goldie and AnvilX)
All is quiet in Great Gaunt… that is until a man past his best years and slightly wild-eyed comes stumbling into the town square. He is disheveled and bloodied, his once expensive attire is ripped and dirty. He is wider than tall and his grey hair is creeping down from the top of his sweaty brow. He looks about with tears streaming down his face pleading…. “You must help me! They took it all… everything! They even abducted my poor sweet Lilly, the love of my life…. You must get her back! I will give a handsome reward to any … for her safe return and my wares”.

Aftermath…
After Steevun’s plea to the gathered adventurers to save his beloved Lilly and the return of his wares, a party of adventurers gathered and they set off in pursuit towards Vlakur's Roar….
It is rumored along the way they found a wagon ablaze and corpses of guards strewn about. The adventures were attacked and a battle ensued with heavy losses, which led them into a cave complex that turned out to be a makeshift hideout for the bandits. The adventures stalked through the caverns searching for Lilly, but she was nowhere to be found. However, a map was secured from within and an “X” marking a local area found.
The party searched out and traveled to the area marked on the map only to find a bandit fort. Another battle raged with the party eventually proving victorious. Afterwards they found Steevun’s true love Lilly firmly secured and worse for the wear. She and the items were gathered and they all trekked back to Great Gaunt. It was decided that the bandits were not local, but an outside force that had recently moved to the area or were meeting with local outlaws in plans for some type of nefarious deed.
Upon their return there was a happy and joyful reunion between Steevun and Lilly where reward was given and the happy couple retired for the night to the inn. Before retiring Steevun made sure that his appreciation was known and that if he had need again he would find them all. In turn, if they needed something he would give them a good deal and could be found at his residence and business in Valkur’s Roar the Wankerd Emporium.
Some say they saw the couple leave at first light taking the caravan and others say later that same day strangers came to town and they were asking about the previous day’s events and the names of who went on the rescue mission and what was known. None can really recall what was asked or what they looked like or what they wore, that is except for the one who they took to be the leader of the group. They said he stood out above the rest. He appeared to be in charge and more deadly by his movements and presence compared to the others. He had pointed weasel like features with dead eyes that watched all about him judging and wearing dark leather armor and two sabers in a double scabbard at his hip.
Waric said that they spoke with him and even bought him several strong drinks, he can’t recall exactly what they spoke and asked about, it is all a bit of a haze for him, but he believes it had something to do with an amulet or something of that sort and some blades. He did mention that they went into Garrot’s and spoke with him for a while. Garrot claims the same, he can’t rightly recall, but he knows they asked about some type of jewelry or blades if any were recently purchased. Then they left, just as quick and quietly as they came. None know who they were or where they went………
Steevun Wankerd (Human Merchant Aka Snookums)
Before you stands an ageing human male past his middle years. He is going bald with grey hair and bright blue eyes. He is short in stature and his girth is almost as wide as his height. His once fancy attire is ripped, dirty and blood stained. He would normally have a happy gentle demeanor if he wasn’t so wild-eyed from fright and grief.
Lilly (Half-Orc Love-Kitten Aka Sweetums)
Before you stands a huge Half-Orc would-be seductress. She is scantily clad with her muscles bursting at the seams. She wears an abundance of makeup and an over-kill of sickly-sweet smelling perfume. Her sultriness would make most males cringe and run in fright.
To be continued....
