Hacks was told to keep the man safe and happy for three days and then leave him alive and well in his tent. That old man turned out to be the kidnapped Lord Arin Cherrane. (The men you killed at the south wall of your castle were dressed the same way.) These men offered Hacks ten bars of pure silver to look after an old man. Hacks and a few of his bandit friends were preparing to leave your lands, when they were approached by strange men who wore black leather armour and covered their faces with grey veils. But when Wilfred Hill was unwilling to pay that much, Hacks changed his plan. Hacks intended to betray Brokenose for 50 Gold Dragons.
Winston's men approached Hacks to lure a noble out into the forest for kidnapping. Hacks is not a friend of Brokenose Winston. The Master of Pain and the Master of Whispers have worked together again, this time to interrogate Hacks the bandit. Torture Smallfolk = SUCCESS, Cost 1 POW, Reward 1 INF Word has spread of the expanding wealth and safety of your lands, and so unbonded people from neighbouring areas are coming to Aldford.
