The Crossroads Ambush Spoils

The mud-slicked road is littered with the remnants of the brief and bloody struggle against the seven highwaymen. The bandits were poorly equipped, but their numbers suggest they had been successful in bullying local travelers for some time. Searching through the tall grass and the bodies reveals a mix of standard infantry gear and the meager treasures they had managed to squirrel away from their victims. A small pouch of silver and a single polished stone provide the most immediate value, though their weapons remain serviceable for any mercenary looking for spares.
