The Plan

The next morning, the inn was already bustling with early risers. As I descended the stairs to the common room, the scent of fresh bread and bacon filled the air, along with the hum of quiet conversation. I made my way to a corner table, sitting down as a few curious glances flicked my way from the other patrons.

I ignored them, my focus drifting to the task ahead. The bandits were still scattered, but now that I knew their locations, it wouldn't take long to start making my way through them.

As I waited for breakfast, snippets of conversation floated over from a nearby table, catching my attention.

"Did you hear? The Baron's son's been kidnapped by Korvan's men," a man whispered, his voice barely audible over the clatter of dishes.

"Yeah, I heard. They say Baron Edris is offering a huge reward for anyone who can take down Korvan and bring his son back."
