Trouble along the Middle Pass

18th of Wintercrest, 243 A.D.
Decided it was time to finally take some jobs while I am in town and there seems to be some opportunities with the Sheriff’s office. Sheriff Adrien Lawrence (good teeth) was saying that he lost most of deputies when the Frontier Guard came through town a few weeks. Apparently, it is common for them to take deputies to bolster their number.
The job is simple. 4 highwaymen. They have been robbing people along the Middle Pass, nearby the Plainsedge Covert. Dead or Alive. Trent Duncan, Erolith, Mirabel Rent, and Adah Lenden. 20 gold each on completion. Adah actually used to be a local to Deadplains. Bojac has actually worked with her.
Which reminds me of my companions on this journey. Bojac is a human pup around 20 and as tall as a beanpole. Deadplains local for 10 years but mostly works out on the surrounding farms. Not rich of coin but rich of heart. Teeth fine but slightly yellow. Most experiment to figure out whitening solution. Jack Morning now is an older half-elf gent who has worked as run the local leather shop “Shock & Awl”. He seems a put-together type and someone to pull you under his wing.
Vox Kotteu is willing to give us extra coin for our efforts if we are able to recover some packages. Apparently, these highwaymen have been bothering several Dryshi Overload employees as they pass through.
Bojac appears to be sweet for girl at the sending station. Jane Humblegrass. When Morning went to gather his horse from that establishment, Bojac’s cheeks went as bright as the rising sun.
After a day of travel, we stopped at Narb’s, an old military establishment. This is when Morning became distant. Got that look in his eyes that speak to a haunted past. Even my attempted distraction of a conspiracy to get Bojac and Jane together was unsuccessful in getting his mind off of such things.

The operation went rather smoothly. It didn’t even take a minute to round to these fellows up. There was a frightening moment where I thought we might have lost Adah. She had fallen from a tree and it didn’t look like she was moving. We able to rouse her though. I am glad my companions agree on taking them alive. I don’t want to see any unnecessary loss of life. Able to recover some of the lost materials but their employer would come by every two weeks to collect their bounty. Apparently, they had been working for the Shadow of the Valley. Disgraceful.
Trent allowed for some work on his teeth. They looked terrible, those that were left. Inflammation noted. Managed a cleaning, but patient refused offer to remove infected teeth. Damn shame. If he makes to a prison camp, he is just going to get blood poisoning or aspirate on shards from the decomposing teeth.

Vux offered electrum for the recovered packages. Morning and he got tense in the negotiation. I hope I can keep a working relationship with Dryshi.
I was glad to work with Morning and Bojac. Maybe it will be worth staying in Deadplains and see if I can do a few more of these bulletins.
