Ambush on the Thornridge Pass

After surviving a brutal ambush by a band of eight ruthless bandits hidden along the rocky stretches of Thornridge Pass, the adventurers sift through their spoils. The bandits, though not heavily armored, were equipped with a mix of scavenged and locally crafted gear, including light leather armor and crudely maintained weapons. Among the loot, the party finds stolen goods from recent raids on caravans, some small treasures, and enough coin to make the encounter worthwhile. The bandits' leader, a grizzled veteran, carried a distinct weapon that could serve the party well or fetch a good price. Overall, the haul reflects the opportunistic and brutal life of highway marauders who survive on raids, quick strikes, and a mix of barter and plunder.
