Mareth didn't have to wait long at the inn before Sylvia came down from her room.  This time, she was clad in heavy steel armor that hid her figure, with a longsword strapped to her back.  "Well, are you ready, Mareth," she asked when she met up with the bard.  Seeing that the woman was indeed ready, she led the way out of the town and into the forest.<br/><br/>"When I was out scouting yesterday, it looked like a few of the bandits were organizing something.  Not quite sure what, but the mayor said it's probably not good.  He wanted me to come out here and scare them a bit, maybe kill a few if I had to, but make sure they knew they would be in big trouble if they tried attacking anyone in the town.  There's too many at their camp to just rush in, though, even with your help.  So I wanted to go after the smaller groups and patrols first, see if I could draw a few of them out.  They're just camped in tents, but I think there's about two dozen, give or take.  Any thoughts?"
