After receiving the charter, the characters proceeded to Oleg's Trading Post. There they met Oleg Leveton and his wife Svetlana. Oleg was grumpy and seem worried and secretive; Svetlana was a bit more talkative and she explained the characters that the trading post had been raided by bandits several times in the past months, and that Restov had not sent any aid, though they had requested some guards.
The characters decided to help the couple and ambush the bandits as they came to the post. The ambush was successful and they even managed to capture some bandits alive. One of them told the characters that the local leader of the bandits, a woman by the name of Kresle, had her camp in the nearby Thorn River.

The characters decided to attack the bandit camp before they got news of their missing comrades. On the way to the Thorn River Camp, the group met some kobolds enjoying the taste of a patch of moon radish... Cardot was able to persuade them to exchange the radishes for a few javelins. When they returned to the Trading Post for buying some javelins from Oleg, they met a group of 3 guards led by Kesten Garess, a well dressed officer of the Restov Guard that had finally arrived at Oleg's to help patrol the area.
The following day, Kii found and explored the bandit camp without being detected and that gave the characters a huge advantage which they used to defeat the bandits before their leader could awaken, thus capturing the dangerous Kresle with hardly a sweat...
