The Making of a Kingdom (IC)

[Odentin]

As the bandits converge on brave Solenia, she bravely runs away away, though she takes another gash from a sword as she does. Konrad, seeing his former lover in peril, guides Harbinger through the maze of horses, giving Happs a good smack along the way. As he rides up, towering over the two bandits near the gate, Adula makes her way down the walkway until she has Happs in her sight, and swiftly puts an arrow in his back. Seeing his boss fall, the greased bandit throws down his weapon and raises his arms into the air, calling out a surrender. The two standing in Harbinger and Konrad's shadow look at each other a moment before doing the same.

Oleg is quick to make his way past the horses to the door of his home. He knocks in a certain pattern, then calls out for Svetlana to bring rope. Seconds later, she emerges, carrying a length of hempen rope. In a few minutes, all of the bandits are bound up and relieved of their gear. Oleg turns to the group with a nod, "Thank you. Really, thank you. You've done me a great service here today. For as long as you're out here doing your mapping, you can stay here for free. Meals and stabling, too. An' I'd like you to have these, too."

He gives the group a small pouch, containing 2 potions of Cure Light Wounds, a potion of Shield of Faith (+2), and 50gp.

"Anything you don't want off these punks, I'll take. Dunno what you plan on doing with 'em, though. Only good bandit's a dead bandit..."
