We were in town to give the men a rest though. Not to make them work.

[TalonisWolf]

 You have a good point- I'll put it on my list of things we should try in the future.

[Baffler]

The bandits probably aren't highly skilled guerrilla fighters, just men who've picked up arms and some experience attacking lightly defended, slow moving targets. We found the other group by the smell of wood smoke, and were able to get the drop on them too. Our crossbowmen are decently trained and experienced scouts, and should be able to spot things like tracks, smoke, and other tells pretty well. We should comb the area of the forest where we think the bandits are hiding with our crossbowmen, organized into small and mobile teams.

  If we take this course of action, make sure they know how all their comrades look, speak, and act. We wouldn't want the bandits to sneak in our midst in one of our uniforms. That would be a catastrophe...

Dis +1

Head out in 24 hours so the men can rest.

The men are only slightly rested and were promised rest. If we don't give them it morale will fall fast and they'll be exhausted by day 5.

[Aseaheru]

+1, let them rest.

[PewdsRocks]

Bump.

[Beneviento]

Sorry, I've had a lot on my plate, but Cedric and co. are back in business! Just give me... some time to sleep, it's midnight where I am.

[PewdsRocks]

I just realized a really obvious tactic that we all over looked.

[Aseaheru]

Burning the forest?

[Beneviento]

Update tonight. Gotta go to a school thing, but then I'll have all evening to write... probably.

[PewdsRocks]

No, we have the password the bandits use which means they have people coming into town to use it. We could have just waited and followed him back to the group.

Or used it to arrange a meeting pretending to be bandits who want to hit a major caravan together, wait for them to show up then ambush them.

[TalonisWolf]

  They would have asked on what authority you could call a meeting and realized something was up.

[PewdsRocks]

Not really. Leave a message that you have info about a caravan coming to big for you to hit alone and request the meeting.

Odds are they'll show up to be ambushed out of simple greed.
