This is pretty much just a rehash of Olegs Trading Post, but occupied by Happs Biden and his men as well as some wording stolen from Lewis and Clark and Silk Road wiki pages. I don't have a lot of time for "original thought" right now.
Taking the Bandit Fort
The PC’s are hired to accompany Oleg to explore, map and ultimately acquire the territory; establish the most direct and practicable water or land communication across this continent for the purposes of commerce and set up trading towns along the route; and to establish an Brevic presence in this territory before Taldor and other Avistanean powers try to claim it. They are to establish trade with local tribes and eliminate the threat of any bandits.
Their best opportunity is to establish a foothold in an old fort that lies alongside an old road that meanders through the only easy route through some badlands. Bandit activity is high in this area, and they have taken over the old fort. It is up to the party to clear it out and set it up as a trading post and base of operations.
Bandit’s Fort.
Palisade: At any given time two bandits are walking the palisades on guard duty. They are bored and not very disciplined. At night, there is a 50% chance any one of them is drunk (sickened condition -1 CR).
A1. Yard: contains a beat-up old wagon.
A2. Guesthouse: being used by four bandits (pg 12 Stolen Land). There is a 75% chance for each Bandit being drunk. If at least one is drunk, there is a 50% chance the advanced bandit is with them. (*see notes-Spiderhold)
A3. Stable: Occupied by 2 light riding horses used to pull the wagon to Restov when they have enough ill gotten wares to pawn.
A4. Storage Pen: This fenced area has a wooden roof. It has various tools and wagon parts.
A5. Middens: Three 3-foot-deep composting pits and middens.
A6. Main Hall: This squat but solid wooden building has double doors leading out into the yard can be barred but not locked.
A7. Dining Room: this room is filled with empty wine and mead bottles as well as other trash thrown on the floor.
A8. Office: contains poorly drawn maps of this hex, adjacent hexes, and the road to Restov.
A9: Stockroom: An advanced bandit stays here.
A10: Storeroom: this is where they keep their stolen merchandise and extra weapons. Treasure: leather armor, a heavy wooden shield, two hand axes, a light flail, five javelins, a longbow, two dozen arrows, a short sword, two spears, 1 weeks worth of trail rations, and a chest containing 1,08 cp, 57 sp, and 14 gp. Also, 10 BP worth of trade goods.
A11: Bedroom: Happs Biden uses this room. At night there is a 3% chance that Kressle is with him.
Creatures: there are four bandits, one bandit with the advanced template, plus Happs Biden and two horses. The bandits attempt to use the palisades as cover (+4 AC) and they have higher ground (+1 attack) when threatened by attackers outside the walls. If intruders get in, Happs climbs the palisades in order to gain higher ground while the advanced bandit moves into melee.
Notes:
Kressle is still working here way through the various bandit outfits and hasn't settled on the Stag Lord just yet.
Aftermath: once the fort is cleared, the PCs can move in and make it a base of operations. The fort provides these free buildings: 2 houses, shop, stable, and watchtower.
My version of Oleg is that of a retired brawler but the players won't know that until he loses his poop on a bandit and clocks him good. Svetlana is a courtesan (3rd party NPC class) with feats to do harrowings on the PCs.
