You pick up some sand and drop it, and begin walking into the breeze. You get over about two sand dunes before you hear something coming. You turn around, but see nothing coming. You turn back into the breeze and see two bandits standing in front of you.

"Do you think we're stupid, boy?"

[Worldmaster27]

Look at their equipment, and if they make a move for us then attack. Don't attack yet if we don't have too.

"Well, you're stealthy at the very least."

[bsnott]

The bandits both carry the same equipment that Jaw and Blant had on them. They are slowly advancing on you.

"Well, you're stealthy at the very least." you say. They look at each other and laugh. They close in, and are now within striking range of you.

[Worldmaster27]

So, that would be padded cloth garments, scimitars, and knives? Okay.

Move forward, jab upwards at whichever bandit is closest to pierce his chest, and then quickly circle to the left or right; whichever direction places the wounded bandit in front of us and the other behind him.

[bsnott]

As soon as they are within striking distance, you see that they are going for the kill. The one nearest to you raises his scimitar in a wide arc over his head, but you are faster. You stab into his chest and circle to the side, putting him in front of the other bandit. The one behind tried to slash around the wounded one, but you dodge away. Once they are mangled together, you kick the wounded one square in the stomach, sending them both to the ground. The healthy one is now stuck under the dying one. You place your scimitar to his throat, and now must decide whether or not to kill him.

[Worldmaster27]

huh, how are, like, do we just have that much plot armor that we can just steamroll these guys? Have we ever had any formal training before?

In any case, disarm them both cut off both their primary hands. Search them for maps or supplies; anything really.

also i guess I'm the only person playing this?

[bsnott]

The wounded bandit continues bleeding, and seems to be unconscious. The other bandit puts his hands up, begging for mercy. You slash, and cut his right hand off. Blood spurts from the wound, and the bandit screams, and loses consciousness soon after. On the bodies you find a canteen of water, a bag with some bread, a compass, and a letter. The letter reads "I'll take them for 30 coins each. Meet me at Casa Amarillo as soon as possible, I'll be waiting there with my party. - Maxwell"

Using your cartography skills, you find out where you are on the map, and have courses plotted back to Santa Rosa, the bandit camp, and the location plotted on the map as "Casa Amarillo".

bump

[Worldmaster27]

Go back to Santa Rosa, keeping watch for brigands or people who may need help.

[bsnott]

You follow your course to Santa Rosa. It isn't long before you find a road. On the road you pass by many different kinds of people. You keep your eyes open for any men that might wish to deal you harm, but see nothing of the sort. You safely arrive in Santa Rosa. Just outside the gate, you miraculously see the farmer that you came here with leaving back in the direction of Lororay.

[Worldmaster27]

Try to sneak up behind him, then surprise him with your appearance. Evaluate his reaction.

[bsnott]

You silently follow the old farmer, attempting to blend into the crowds and caravans from a distance. Eventually, you are close enough to climb his carriage. He seems to have not noticed you. You kneel down next to him and prepare to speak, but before you can say anything he speaks.

"Decided to show up, eh? Did your friend decide to make a new home for himself?"

[Worldmaster27]

I don't remember much of what happened so I'm going to wing it.

"Yes, he found a lovely bride amongst the brigands who kidnapped us."

[Beneviento]

Isn't that a little cold? Maybe "We got jumped by bandits. I made a run for it, but they still have him. We've got to get the Governor to do something!"

[Worldmaster27]

Isn't that a little cold? Maybe "We got jumped by bandits. I made a run for it, but they still have him. We've got to get the Governor to do something!"

+1, sure. I was mostly just trying to push the plot armor thing at this point.

also woo someone else to make suggestions im bad at this
