"I wouldn't mind settling down some day, putting down some roots," Daos admits. "But not in Hommlet."

[Can Tristen use the rope to fashion a chain-gang style line where their hands are all tied behind their backs and we lead them back? Also suggesting covering their heads with sacks or cloth to "Inspire compliance"]
He will make his suggestions to the group and plans to cover them with his bow the whole way

"Well, alright then. If the rest o' you get these reprobates ready for the walk back to Hommlet, I'll get our pack animals and the rest of our equipment so we can load up the treasure for transport," Roshek says.
Unless anyone immediately protests, he marches off to collect the party's beasts of burden.

Tristen sets about tying the bandits for transportation, always keeping attentive to their intent. The time a snared animal was most dangerous was when you neared the trap. Once that is done, he will either prefer to cover them or to fetch the pack animals if he knows someone else is keeping vigilant watch over the bandits. If someone else goes for the pack animald, he will describe Walnut's appearance and location.

Alright. The group manages to get the pack animals loaded with all the loot. The bandit gang is roped up in a sort of marching line tied together and nobody tries to escape. Though a couple of the lower level bandits did attempt briefly one look from their leader Rai set them to stop. The trip back from the ruined moathouse goes by uneventfully and you make it back to Hommlet to the tower of Burne and Rufus. As the group marches toward the tower some of the guards head to you when they see you and the prisoners.
Guard 1 "Well what do we have here? Band of highway men? Where did you find this lot?" he asks while the other two guards watch the bandits with a keen eye.

"The old moathouse," Daos explains. "These are the bandits who have been preying on this land of recent times. Burne and Rufus sent us to round them up."

"The lad's telling the truth. That one there calls himself 'Knuckles' Rai, and he's their leader," Roshek adds, helpfully pointing out the bandit leader with his thumb.

The other two guards move to help guard the prisoners and the one that spoke raises an eyebrow "Knuckles Rai eh? Where the devil do these highwaymen come up with these absurd nicknames?" he signals to some of the other guards at the tower entrance to come forth an help bring in the bandits "You men come over here and help get these thugs where they belong." turning back to the group he says "Good work you'd best go speak to Burne and Rufus I imagine they will be glad to hear you round up this lot."

"Of course. Thank you for the assistance," Daos says. He then leads the way to the guard tower where they last saw Burne and Rufus.

Tristen remains vigilant even after the guards take custody, though he unloads his bow. The ranger silently follows the others to the tower, casually scanning the village. Hazards could be more difficult to discern in civilization than the wild. The elf moves smoothly but with purpose, gaze rolling through his new environment in a methodical manner expectant of trouble.

Roshek also follows into the tower. "Remind me to check with our hosts if they'd be interested in buying the bandits' arms and armour for their men-at-arms, or if they can suggest someone who would," he says to Tristen.

The elf nods in response, continuing to watch.
