That will do quite nicely. I will make the arrangements.

Going down your points in order...

1. Yeah, that would work. I'm not entirely sure how well you could trust said bandits, though...there would be a large temptation to let slip details of which caravans weren't guarded as well to old friends out in the bandit gangs.

2. They would love to be supplied with weapons. However, their way of doing business is very much of the "What have you done for me lately?" nature. They have short memories, and would probably resume raiding as soon as the warm glow of gratitude died down.

3. Either way. I should point out that hunting bounties is not a good way to avoid losing men, by the way. These people have bounties on them for a reason; they're dangerous enough that the Empire isn't willing to leave dealing with them to the few assassins and rangers they have north of the border.
