Are They Organized?
Roll 1d6, +1 if a leader is present.
- Not At All - they are likely slacking off and are surprised 3 in 6. They have no tactics and are uncoordinated in a fight.
- Sort Of - Each member acts by themselves without much coordination; individual morale checks (which can cause a cascade of fleeing).
- Barely - initial contact is coordinated (volley of arrows for example), but after that it is a free-for-all.
- The Usual - they are a group that works together, so it is mostly functional. Run like you usually run a group of bandits.
- Adept - Until the first morale check is required, they are going to be a dangerous, intelligent, coordinated foe.
- Definitely - they are going to ambush the party (surprised 3 in 6), use ranged and melee attacks in coordination (battle line), focus on threats (kill the mage!) and disengage/not fight if they think they can't win. They are dangerous.
What is their Style?
Roll 1d6 for some style notes.
- Wretched Vagabonds wearing rags and covered in filth
- Swaggering Bullies that try to intimidate and belittle opponents
- Reluctant Aggressors that really need you to give up that loot
- Classy Gents with decent clothes that politely request your loot
- Ugly Reavers wearing animal skins that don't talk much if at all
- Polite Noobs that clearly haven't done this before but don't want to be rude
Who Are They?
Roll 1d6 to identify what type of group they are.
- Renata's Robbers (Barrowmaze) - up to their usual bullshit
- Local Tomb Raiders - you might have seen them around town
- Local Mooks - definitely seen them around town
- Renegade Hirelings - screwed by adventurers, now out on their own
- Roving Tomb Robbers - recently heard about this score
- 'Foregin' Tomb Raiders - where did these guys come from? what language is that?
Why Do This?
Roll 1d6 to check on their motivation
- Criminals doing criminal things - the crew looks like easy marks
- Frightened of the dungeon - but they want those sweet treasures
- Need Cash Now and JG Wentworth is not in business - they are desperate
- Misguided fools that think they are doing the right thing - somehow?
- Thrill Seekers that want to start some shit - just to see where it goes
- Deathwish Nihilists that don't expect to live - but live to cause trouble
