The sword Lords of Restov needed to stabilize their southern borders, and to this end they have sent a number of expeditions into the Greenbelt to try and tame them.
This particular group have been chartered to clear the bandit issues plaguing the southern roads and explore the land in preparation for settlement and relocation of many of the refugees currently flooding into Restov.
Upon arrival at the trading post that was to be their base of operations, the party had their first encounter with banditry, rescuing Oleg and Svetlana from a particularly ruthless group of bandits. One bandit took the chance to redeem himself and has since become an employee of Lev and Anya.
Using information from this group, they set out to explore the wilds, and tracked down another major camp of bandits. This was a vicious fight, but again the party prevailed and all bandits were slain or hung for their crimes.
Having cleared this initial nest of trouble, they explored the wildlands, meeting strange hermits, nests of fey, haunted hovels and a kobold tribe along the way. Unfortunately they had to also contend with a meddlesome Nobleman sent as a mercenary guard for Oleg's trading post. Captain Garess eventually went mad with grief and shame after a run in with the Fey and was killed by the group as he tried to wrench power from them and execute the boy they had previously saved from the forests.
With the potential for political turmoil still in their minds, the party finally set out to track down the Staglord, the man behind the bandits in this region. They successfully infiltrated his fortress and have just finished the main battle for his keep. A few more small steps and they will be on their way to settling a fiefdom for themselves.
