For betraying the oath sworn to your lord, you and your group of 40 warriors became outlaws. Due to low wages, you had begun taking side work - accepting orders from local merchants for escort duties or letting contraband pass through. When this came to light, you were sentenced to fines that you considered insulting, since the lord's army was in decline while the lord himself feasted. And so under your command, your group broke away and turned to banditry.

You began eating better, acquired better weapons, and even managed to save a small amount of capital after just a couple of months of raiding caravans - but the scheme did not last long. You ran into an ambush, and only thanks to your greater combat experience were you able to escape, though having taken considerable damage.

Trying to find the deepest point on the map of the dark forest to hide and tend to wounds, you stumble upon a furry village which, though simple, has more than enough residents.

The group refuses to venture deeper into the forest, as the wounded require assistance and the others are running low on supplies.
