Stag Lord Bandit attack on Oleg’s Trading Post

Originally, Oleg and Svetlana had founded the trading post in an old abandoned border fort at the southern edge of Rostland with the help of a contingent of soldiers who assisted in rebuilding. The soldiers, however, were called back to Brevoy in the month of Lamashan. A relief contingent was supposed to arrive by the month of Kuthona, but an early winter kept them sheltered in Restov.

This situation led to Oleg’s Trading Post being vulnerable to recurring Stag Lord’s Bandit attacks demanding “taxes” from Oleg and Svetlana. These Stag Lord’s Bandits had been returning every month on the first of the month, at the earliest hour of dawn. During the first attack, they arrived with fourteen bandits, but their numbers would quickly dwindle during the later winter. Jamandi Aldori knew of the situation and asked the party to check up on Oleg and Svetlana and see what they could do to help.

Before the expected return of the Stag Lord’s Bandits on the 1st of Pharast 4710, the party had strategically prepared Spike Traps and other defenses around the trading post. When the bandits arrived, the traps proved highly effective, incapacitating several bandits and leading to the capture of Happs Bydon. Despite Happs’ defiance during interrogation, the party remained resolute, extracting valuable information about their adversaries and preparing to confront the Stag Lord’s Bandit leader, Kressle.
