Re: Trailing the bandits
The party has no more trouble with the bandits. The prisoners, though in rough shape, can ride in the wagon. The left over goods are loaded into the wagon, and hitched to the draft horses. The ponies are hitched to the small cart, and it is loaded with the barrels of drinks. Garrett and Joe's bodies are wrapped and laid over the two riding horses. The bandits are trailed along behind.
The group returns to Helmsbreach, and the sheriff takes care of the dead, and prisoners.
The rescued merchants offer anything from their wagon as a reward, It is loaded with gear, rope, oil, torches and sudries. any mudane equipment is available.
All that remains is to find the dwarf and return his cart of fine liquors.
For recovery of the prisoners, and apprehension of the bandit, everyone receives 500XP.
