Intro
=====

A peasant begs the party to protect his village.

A gang of bandits are going to slaughter everyone in the village if the
village don't come up with enough money.  Also, the bandits have many of
the children and plan to sell them as slaves.

Timeline
========

1.  The bandits raid the village, kidnap lots of children, and then take
    the children back to their swamp hideout.

2.  A farmer leaves the village to look for help.  Hopefully he talks
    the players into helping him.

3.  Lots of time passes and the harvest is nearly ready.

4.  One kid escapes from the bandits and returns to the village.  She
    explains there are children from other villages and the bandits
    willl sell them all as slaves.  The bandits are waiting for after
    the next harvest, and then they will attack.

5.  The bandits send a few scouts ahead to spy on the village.

6.  Bandits begin an all-out assault.  They bring a few enslaved
    monsters with them too.
