Further Caravan Attacks

[Justin]

Raids on Caravans have once again stated over the last week, the methods of attack have increased in sophistication, claim scouts arriving at the scenes.

The Milita and Guards have so far refused to comment on reports that a group of highly trained and determined criminals are instigating these attacks.

House DeWinter, one of the Trade houses being hard hit by these attacks has stated that it will pay 10crowns per person for anyone able to wipe out these bandits. Two local groups went out to claim this bounty, so far neither has returned.

The Merchant House Atherton has called upon the law to deal harshly with this threat, while the League of Merchants along with other Houses are hiring an increased number of men from the Mercenaries Guild to help guard the increasing vunerable caravans.

To date only one group, a party of seasoned Adventurers, have manged to survive contact with this group.

So far neither scouts, nor Forresters have been able to find where these Bandits are comming from or going to, seemingly able to appear and dissapear into the forrests at will.
