A message was sent to the Guild from Mayor Garret Vance. He is asking for our help to identify and stop a group that has been robbing local stores en masse. He has flagged a few suspected locations where these "Bastards" might be hiding.

The Mayor does not care if the rank-and-file bandits are brought in dead or alive, but he strictly demands the leader be captured alive to face lifetime imprisonment. He is offering a total of 2,000 GP for the party to split, or you may collectively request one favor of equal worth.

Guild Note: Take this contract with caution. Rumors from the capital claim Mayor Vance is brutal, uncaring, and notoriously greedy—he may try to underpay you if given the chance. Unfortunately, Yukam functions under a strict Hierarchy system, and as a direct descendant, the Mayor holds absolute authority here.
