Burglar's Cave

"Burglar's Cave, is what they called it. We knew of brigand attacks on travelers and merchants within the Doldorian Pass near Mount Doldor, but no matter how many patrols we sent, no evidence of brigandry was ever found.

It was only by sheer luck, during the apprehension of a thief caught up in a murder-gone-wrong in a nearby hamlet that we found our first clue. Upon receiving promises to spare his life in exchange for information of associates, the young stray shocked us all with intimate knowledge of the attacks near Mount Doldor.

"Them Cliffs, ne'er a day's walk from the Hamlet of Bismun, they be hollow!" He eagerly divulged. "If ye make the climb, ye'll see for yerself!"

The young bandit provided us enough information to launch our first real action against this clever group of brigands. But, with only our keep's forces and militia from surrounding farms, scaling 40 feet up a cliffside under attack from arrows and bolts seemed daunting. We now know what is happening, but still we feel at a loss as to how to address an approach.

The elders agree, our best bet is to hire experienced mercenaries before we try anything ourselves. The risk is too great, even as every day that passes risks more travelers being waylaid. Myself, I feel the matter is of too much importance to wait for a response to the summons of others in our time of need. But asking our countrymen to climb to certain death... That is the thing that stays my hand as we hope for outside assistance."
