Serenoa Wolffort must recover the salt shipment stolen by the bandits overnight.
Terrain and strategy[]
One major danger in this fight is that both Travis and Trish hit hard with their attacks. If they are in attack range of the party at the same time and attack the same character, that character will probably be defeated. For this reason, going down into the very center early on is likely to end badly. A good strategy is to keep the bosses apart as long as possible and try to defeat one before the other can get in range. One way to do this is to head down into the village on the side opposite Trish's starting position, where both bosses will have spend many turns moving in. This offers time to take out some the regular bandits before Travis comes into range. It should be possible to at least nearly defeat him before Trish gets into range to use her bow. Note that Hughette has a fair chance of blinding Trish, making her less dangerous. Once the bosses are down, any remaining bandits will likely be little trouble.
