No.104727

There are rumours of an uprising in the north, an alliance of thieves, if you will.
Cutthroats, scoundrels, burglars, rogues, murderers and cuddle-rapists have banded up into large pockets, attacking caravans and ponies travelling on the roads and railways of Equestria.
Their attacks seem almost coordinated, and there are rumours of a king of thieves appearing in some northern locations…
This bandit activity has brought your party together.
You're all members of a trade caravan heading east from Vanhoover, all the way to Manehatten.
Whether you're a hired guard, a member of the traders or just a passenger is up to you.
The caravan has made their camp near a location called the Galloping Gorge…
Report in.

The caravan master trots around the camp site nervously.
There's a large fire in the middle of a circle formed by the caravan carts. Some ponies are sleeping inside their covered carts, some have set up meager resting places under theirs, and some, lucky ponies have a privilege of sleeping next to the warmth of the fire.
"I don't understand why they'd send us out on hoof and not by train, especially with this bandit activity…"
He stops and looks over the guards.
