As Chloë repositions the bandits around Brannik, he grins at Artin. "Looks like your men are all falling in line, as ordered." He hefts his heavy hammer through the air, slamming it against the bandit chieftain with incredible might.

Before Artin has a chance to react, the dwarf swings his hammer in a whirlwind, catching several of the bandits around him with a painful battering.

Artin attempts to block Adrian's attack, but the Wind Dancer easily knocks the man's weapon aside and drives his sword straight through the man's chest. With a twist he pulls his blade from the bandit who coughs up blood as he falls to the ground dying.

"Oh fuck this shit!" Farryn exclaims seeing Artin defeated. With a flick of his wrist a blast of magical energy hits Kass, Brannik and Adrian, severely wounding all of them. He then quickly makes his way around the table and towards the exit.

One of the other bandits, sees an opening created by Farryn and charges at Kass. The man's attack hits and knocks the Menoran unconscious.

Seeing Kass fall and her friends close to failure, Gemma slams her spear against her shield once more and lets out a rallying cry. Those around her feel a rush of vigor surge through them as the odds stack more and more in their favor.

Gemma turns and rushes at Farryn, slamming her shield into him with great force. "I don't want to hurt you," she growls. "But you're not making this easy."

"I'll hurt him if you won't," Wes replies to his spear-wielding comrade, getting well annoyed at the captive who insists on hindering them. In an instant, he vanishes into a burst of lightning, appearing once more not a moment later near the formerly-enflamed bandit. His return's burst, however, fails to produce more than mere static.

Sighing, he shakes his head and turns his sights on the mettlesome Farryn, not eager to let him escape so easily. Moving next to Gemma, he begins channeling frigid magicks into his blade. With a wintry fog emitting from his blade, Wes strikes at the man, the cold engulfing him.

"This war has barely even started and it's already brought out all the psychotic killers! First these "Red Whispers" and now you! Who even are you?!"

Kass feels her energy revitalized as the elf seems to finally realize the situation. With her renewed strength, she lands a heavy blow against the bandit who had been continuously harassing her.

As the numbers turn in the party's favour, the remaining bandits start to take hits. One manages to score a good hit on Brannik in retaliation but, seeing the tide of battle turning, another decides to make a break for it instead. As he drops his defense to run, both Brannik and Wes swing for him but the man is too quick and manages to make it out of the cavern and into one of the tunnels that lead to the entrance.

Farryn, turns to look at the remaining bandits around Brannik. "I never liked those two," he says to Gemma before raising a hand and muttering a few words. The floors suddenly appears to fall away around Brannik's feet and the two bandits fall into the abyss their screams fading as they fall. A couple of seconds later the illusion fades revealing the cavern floor as it was, with the two bandits now in crumpled heaps on the floor.

Wes can't help but smirk as the bandit turns to flee, tail between his legs. At least one of these louts has some brains, not that it'll do him any good, he thinks, remembering their peasant comrades standing by the cave's entrance.

As Brannik kills one of the remaining bandits, Kass and Chloë's attacks appear to very nearly finish of the other. Suddenly an arrow flies through the cavern and strikes the man in the neck, killing him. Owin, Ser Rarden and Theun enter the cavern, Owin's bow still raised.

"Looks like you had quite the scrap in here," Ser Rarden says as he looks around the cavern, his sword drawn and bloodied. "We caught one of them hoping to flee."

As the battle winds down, Chloë rushes down to Adrian to aid him to his feet, and he awakens from his previous state feeling groggy and in pain. He groans as he leans upright, looking around towards the others as he works to open his eyes.

"Did we..." he asks before coughing and spitting out some blood on the ground, before straining to raise himself up a bit more. Chloë does what she can to help, and begins to work tending to his wounds. "Did we win?" he asks with a smirk, as he spots his winded companions beginning to relax from the fighting.

"Our caravan was headed from the Tower to the capital when we'd heard there had been a big battle up a head near Parth. We didn't want to run into to any trouble so we decided to head back to Redbridge. These bastards ambushed us and killed most of the caravan. I only survived after convincing them I could help them and breaking out a few old party tricks," the Elf replies, conjuring a small ethereal ball out of no where which he passes between his hands a couple of times before vanishing it. "Then they had me brewing potions for them mostly, although they destroyed most of my equipment when they attacked us so they were far from my best work," he adds.

Ser Rarden pays little attention to Farryn's tale instead he walks further towards the centre of the cavern surveying the area, a thought clearly playing on his mind. After a moment he speaks. "You know if you're all actually serious about spending this war protecting the common folk - which I'm pretty sure you are based on your actions helping our village - a base of operations would certainly make the task easier, he begins. "The Red Whispers were hiding out here unbeknown to anyone for months until we tracked them down and now everyone that knew about this place is either dead or standing amongst us."

"You hail from Menora, then?" Wes asks the man as he speaks his tragic tale. Gesturing to himself and his cousin, he adds, "As do we. Sers Wesley Tarkin and Kassidy Tommick of the Arcane Knights." With these words, he cannot help but smirk and performs a mock-bow. "Apologies for the rough treatment, but I did warn you to sit it out." You'd think he'd have noticed the insignia upon my armor.

At Ser Rarden's suggestion, he replies, "I suppose it would certainly be a secret base of operations, if not a little... damp."

Brannik helps Adrian to his feet, clapping a firm, wide hand on the man's back. "You fought well, Wind Dancer. Even for taking a nap on the job," he says with a heart laugh.

As the elf explains his story, the dwarf nods, his grin turning somber. "I'm sorry to hear that your people didn't make it," he says. "This war, and this plague of banditry that it has incited have each cost an immeasurable toll on the folk here. We've seen how hard that can be many times over. In fact, it's what caused us to stop fucking around as pawns of these 'kings', and start doing something about it."

At Ser Rardan's suggestion, Gemma perks up. "A base of operations could be a start." She turns to her mentor. "I'm sure the Ballian would appreciate such a location." The woman runs a hand along the wall, sniffing it and mock-gagging.

To this, Brannik chuckles. "You naive, damned human. You've a lot to learn about my kind. Caves aren't just slimy dens of damp air and shitty bandits."

"That makes four of us," Chloë chimes at the mention of Menora. "Or thereabouts, at least. My mother is the Lady of Ruthrop," she adds, excited to meet more from her homeland, having not been privy to the earlier discussions about heritage.

"Not well enough, though, it seems," Adrian responds to Brannik, regaining enough of his strength to return to his feet. He stumbles slightly, still a bit woozy, but otherwise manages to stand and move forward a bit. The wounds will heal quickly, but my pride might take a bit longer, he thinks.

"And I cannot say this would be the worst place I've bunked, if we are to make this place a home for the time being. Though if that is the case, I say we should do some work to it. Some fine rugs from Serra, perhaps. Tapestries to reduce the godsawful echo."

"Yes I had a potions shop just off Silver Street," the Elf replies. "There was a bit too much competition in Menora for my liking though. That's why I was moving to the Capital. And likewise," he adds, with an apologetic wave of his hand. "I'd be happy to stick around and make it up to you."

"We did pass some tapestries and rugs further back down the tunnel," Owin says as Adrian brings up decorating the cavern. "We should probably start with getting rid of the bodies first though."

"You're more than welcome," Brannik says with a deferential nod to the elf. "We need all the trusted hands we can get. You saw how close we came to falling to these blasted thugs."

He turns to Owin, considering the action. "Easiest way is to pile them all up, then burn them. I know your kind is the gravedigging sort, but these fuckers don't deserve that honor."

"Aye, that's a rough business in a city like that," Wes remarks at the elf speaks of his former potion business in his home. "And we'd certainly welcome the company, and your skills. It's not every day you meet a skilled alchemist, in a cave least of all." Though who knows how skilled he is if he can't beat the competition... I suppose he's still young after all.

At the dwarf's comments on burning the corpses, Wes adds, "Burning them would lessen the chances of them rising again to eat us, if the storybooks my father read me as a child are to be believed." Why he read such things to a five year old, I'll never know.

"Happy to have you," Adrian says, finally standing after a moment to resist. He winces and stumbles for a second as he regains his footing, before stepping over to Farryn and slapping him on the back. "Good thing we didn't kill you before you had a chance to explain yourself," he says with a laugh, before wincing again from a pain in his side.

"I do not care how we dispose of these bodies, but we should do it fast," he says, in response to the conversation going on. "They will begin to smell in no time, and getting a stench like that out of this cave will be a difficult task."

"Then let's get started," Gemma says, already wrapping her hands around the ankles of a nearby dead bandit. She begins dragging him through the tunnels, toward the mouth of the cave.

"That damned woman is too brash," Brannik says, shaking his head while cracking a grin. "Reminds me of myself." The dwarf steps over, grabbing two bodies at once and dragging them by their hair. "Well? You gonna stand there and watch?" he asks the others.

"No complaints from me. These bastards don't deserve a proper burial," Owin says, slinging his bow over his shoulder and grabbing another body.

The others agree and after a short while the bodies are removed from the cavern and burnt. You use put down the rugs and hang the tapestries left behind by the Red Whispers.

Over the next couple of days you get settled into the cavern and divide up the Red Whispers' plunder, with the lion's share being kept aside for the group as a whole. The news of the Red Whispers' defeat spreads quickly around the surrounding villages they had be plaguing. Along with tales of your previous successes, the peasants in the area have started referring to you as Fausta's Shield.

After about a week or so of recuperation, you find yourselves sitting around the camp fire in the main cavern discussing your next moves.

Mechanics

[SHOW]

Each pick a Turn Focus as per the below.

Welcome to Benevolent Outlaw Band Management Simulator

For the most part, not very much happens during a war. There is a lot of sitting around doing nothing involved. Now you have established your group, the game will move forward in “turns”.

Each “turn” will represent around 2-3 weeks time with the significant events of those weeks being played out ingame. At the start of each “turn” you will be able to choose what to focus on over the next couple of weeks, involving skill challenges, as well as interact with any notable members of the group at your base of operations, some of who will be able to provide various services to the party if certain conditions are met.

They are several mechanics you will need to balance or improve to better protect the people of the Steppe and the Valley; the number of members of the group (this will be limited by your base of operations) and their skill levels, morale, and the cost of keeping everyone fed and armed versus your finances.

People will naturally seek to join you if they value your cause and your reputation is good, however you can also choose to focus on recruitment for a “turn”, spending more time in the villages of the countryside.

Peasants however are not very good fighters and will need to be trained up into a formidable fighting force capable of taking on elements of the Kings’ armies. There is a troop tree they will advance through with experience, although you can also choose to focus on training during a “turn”. You can pick between focusing on Melee, Ranged, or Mounted troops, although mounted troops will require horses.

Each member will require an upkeep of gold each “turn” based on their level on the troop tree, representing their needs for food, weapons and armour etc. At the start of a turn you can bank any gold/supplies with the group to pay future upkeep. You can choose to reduce the level of upkeep paid if money is tight at the expense of morale, or vice versa. Morale will affect, among other things, the ease of recruitment and the likelihood of your men fleeing in battle.

For a “turn” you can also focus on gathering information, spending time in the taverns of the Steppe and on scouting missions, learning information about the movements of the 3 Kings’ armies and other potential quests. Alternatively you can focus on building up a spy network in a region, the size of this network will make future information gathering yield more and better information.

If all players agree, a special “turn” can be spent visiting one of the major cities in the region. This will allow you to access shops and other things you may not have access to while leading the outlaw life. However it may not always be easy to gain entry to the cities as your reputation increases.

A focus for a “turn” will not be the only thing you do for those weeks. You will patrol the countryside and can work on any quests you might have. These will be the parts that play out ingame.

After some discussion, Adrian and Chloë decide to start building up a network of spies in the region, while Brannik and Wes decide to start with some more conventional information gathering, along with a few of the others.

"While you're out there..." Farryn says interrupting the conversation around the campfire. "If you could keep an eye out for some equipment and ingredients for me? Most of what I had was either broken when the Red Whispers attacked my caravan or I used it up making potions for them."
