The Mud Road Bandits
The main trade road has turned into a muddy quagmire, slowing caravans to a crawl—and providing perfect hunting grounds for a new bandit crew on swamp-shoes. They slip across the muck, strike quickly, and vanish back into the mire with their loot. Track their hidden camp, survive the sucking mud, and decide the fate of bandits who claim they only rob cruel merchants.
