>Go talk to them (convince them to fuck off)
You dismounted you horse and told the rest to wait a bit behind while you talked to them.
The group looked at you confused but they did have the time to stop you.
Walking up to the trap you waved at the bushes you saw them.
"Hey, remember me? We are off to investigate more ruins, and this time with a company of mercs, including a religious zealot who wants to murder you all.
So this time I will offer another deal, you just let us pass for free and I hold back my new bloodthirsty comrads!”
There is a moment of silence
>[ Roll 18 + 6 ; DC 18 (they are getting bolder); Result: Success ]
And it was interrupted by the body lying in the middle of the road speaking up.
“Hey boss, do you know this guy?”
You looked at the fat man wearing a dress that was pretending to be dead.
This guy is new.
Another voice them came from the bushes as the rest of the bandit group got out of hiding
“God dammit fat ass! Your only job is to pretend to be dead.”
“Yeah, boss, because he was going to fall for it when he knew where you were.”
They kept arguing over whose fault was it the ambush failed.
When they got that out their system, they turned to you.
“Sorry about this, it was not professional on our part. We will try to aim for a better mugging experience next time.”
The leader said, you were unsure if he was serious.
“You should quit this bandit business, there will be more mercs, soldiers and inquisitors on the roads soon.”
“Yes, that’s why we are planning on recycling our brand and becoming pirates. They are classier.”
“They are not. Just stop robbing people.”
“Your suggestion is noted, well pack up boys, we are stealing a boat!”
After that comment the wander off, discussing how to increase their brand value.
Emila step close to you once they were gone.
“That was odd…do you want to loot the carriage.”
The thing was empty with the exception of a suitcase the bandits had ignored.
It had a few silk clothes, the lucky find being a coin pouch they had missed.
[+10 coins]
[Silk attire; no practical use but it can reach a good price on the market.]
After that the rest of the journey was quiet.
