Recap: The Curse so Far

General Summary

The player characters enter the Inn "The Creaking Bow" separately and start to rest as the sun starts to set. After some time in the Inn, 3 unfriendly looking bandits enter the Inn and demand to take three villagers for their boss for a ritual. They will take the villagers by force if needed and don't seem to want to have any trouble doing it. While in the middle of taking 3 of the villagers, the player characters intervene and after tricking them to a fight outside before closing the door on them and bracing it before they back in. Urser Manjin, seemingly due to being a bit bored from the long and uneventful travelling he has done over the last month, heads outside through a side window to have a fight with the bandits. Realising that Urser is outside, the rest of the players decide to open the door and assist him in the fight, all of them being a bit rusty in the ways of combat have a difficult time dispatching of the bandits but eventually do so with the assistance of Orianna and Kalista Spitehorn. Being exhausted and sore the players decide to retire for the night and heal up their wounds and decide to fully speak to the Spitehorn sisters tomorrow. In the morning the players find Kallista and Orianna at a table discussing last nights events. They explain what they know about the bandits, as of the fact they have been coming into the Inn every night for the past week taking exactly the same three people and repeating it perfectly. Kalista recommends the party to get some more combat experience and better equipment before looking into the bandit group that she thinks that they might be part of. Over the next 3 days they run 3 bounties from the bounty board:

Clearing a Goblin Warcamp nearby

Hunting a monster that has been terrorising wildlife and hunters

Recovering a family artefact for a Villager

All three times have oddities occur but nothing the party can't handle so far Most recently a travelling group of traders has visited the town and the party has purchased some new equipment.
