Deputies Wanted

by Jack Morning

Morning, Bojack, Silas
 
Meet in Adrien's office. Got reports of stage coach robberies in the north. Likely 4 people Adah Lenden, Trent Duncan, Mirabell Rent, and Erolith. 20 gp per person plus a bit to bring them back alive.
 
Bojack says Morning is his only friend. Morning finds that very sad. Invites him for dinner after the job.
People in town may know about bandit relay Jane Humblegrass parents own relay post and lizardfolk Vux Kottau at the sending station. Lisa and Gurk's - Lisa Hoplet at the timberyard makes homemade medicines. Go to the timber yard get some medicine.
 
Stop by the relay station and talk to Jane Humblegrass about what she knows about the bandit. Bandits are up in the hills by a bend in the road. Don't kill people, but rob them. Have a sniper in the woods. Recommends staying off the road. Bojack has the hots for Jane Humblegrass. Not sure if it's reciprocated.
Go to the sending station and talk to Vux. He tells us the bandits like to ambush coaches as they pass hills. They have stolen a lot of gold. Offers potential compensation if we return the goods. Says he thinks there are four of them. Says he thinks there are sharpshooters in the hills. Advises not passing directly through the valley.
 
We stop by the shock and awl, get the cart. We stay at the inn Narb's. It reminds Morning of the forts used by the dominion during the hunts. Morning looks very uncomfortable. Silas looks uncomfortable and is looking for someone or something. We sleep through the night uneventfully. They leave the inn and head to where the bandits are supposed to be. We approach from the left to try and flank. We sneak up and see two bruisers on the left and some sort of movement on the right. Morning and Bojack flank around from the right. Morning leaps into a tree and unleashes 3 daringer shots into the sharpshooter and she drops unconscious and falls out of the tree. Bojack runs down the hill and strikes another bandit. Silas surprises a bandit on the other side of the valley and misses all of his strikes. Silas takes a couple of hits. Morning picks up the sniper rifles and shoots one. They make quick work of the rest incapacitating all of them.
 
They interrogate the prisoners and after a rough start, they tell them where they hide some loot and find out that they were working for the shadows, and that they would be expecting another pick up in a week and a half.
 
They ride back and spend the night on the road. In the night one prisoner runs away. The next morning Bojack split off and tracks the prisoner down. They reconvened back in dead plains and turn in the prisoners, and collect the reward. Then go to the sending station and return some recover packages, in return for some electrum. Vux acts like a dick and threatens Morning.
