Session 1-2: The random adventurers are members of the Stormreagan Adventuring Guild, run by the hardass Cecil, who had part of his face torn off while fighting a “red dragon.” The City of Stormreagan asks the guild to deal with bandits taking a toll on the road, to kill the bandit leader. As proof, the group must return with the gold bandolier of daggers that the bandit leader always wears. During the night, the group camps and sees another fire down the road. The bard sneaks to look and finds bandits boasting about their escapades. She scares the bandits off with her demon voice, and the cart is taken back to the camp.
Alas, it seems that the cart belongs to a troupe of thespians, hired to act out a play denoting the valor of the bandit leader. Two of the actors attempt to take their cart back; Sheddar kills one with an arrow. The other is taken hostage. It is decided that the adventurers will act out the play, to get close to the bandit leader. The captured actor is willing to help, provided that the cart is given back to him when he is done. He even has a fake gold bandolier for the lead to wear.
At the camp, Bris, the second-in-command, sidles over to speak privately. Bris wants to lead the bandits, so if something should happen to the leader, there might be an award… the adventurers don’t agree to the deal, but also are aware that they are in a bandit camp.
The play was so good, the adventurers were invited back to the leader’s tent, where they tried to steal the bandolier and were caught. A quick battle ensues, and Bris arrives with backup — but which side is Bris fighting?
The leader is killed, the golden bandolier is stolen, and the adventurers make a run for it. They receive their bounty (minus the guild fees).
Neke receives a note a few days later. Bris thanks her for the help, and pays with a large diamond. THe new bandit leader will remember this.
