Post Battle
Aldona, B1, B4 and dire wolf all dying or dead.
B2 and B3 ran off into the woods.
Makoto starts healing everyone with a wand.
As she dies, Aldona transforms into a stout, red-haired Taldan woman with eyebrows that meet in the middle and a nose that has been broken and reset incorrectly. As the battle ends quiet descends on the camp and you can hear the sounds of pounding coming from the inside of a large trunk in the largest tent. You notice all of the melee weapons belonging to the bandits bear Marek’s maker’s mark: an eagle clutching a pair of tongs.
In the largest tent a table sits next to a bedroll covered in matted fur. The table is surrounded by pigeon feathers, splintered avian bones, and the fragments of a cage. There is a pair of Aldori dueling swords hanging from the pole along with a key. A large trunk is where the pounding and sounds are coming from and next to the trunk is an unceremonious pile of gear (a mw Aldori dueling sword, studded leather armor, buckler, 3 daggers, pouch, bag and a signet ring on top of the pile)
Once everyone is healed, you gather round and open the chest, inside you find Lander. He is tied, gagged and has been beaten up pretty bad, but no life threatening wounds are evident. Lander is tall, young, and good-looking. He wears an “adventurer’s outfit” made of expensive materials, but because of his ill treatment by the bandits, it’s stained with mud and blood and is disheveled and frayed. One of his eyes is swollen shut, and his unruly hair is mussed. He looks up at you from inside the chest and gesture for you to help him out.
