Whispers spread through the Spire from recent arrivals who’ve just traveled from the Wall. Beyond Albern’s Crossing but before the Walljack Swamps, a caravan has been smashed to smithereens by a rock-slide. Armored knights and soldiers are found dead beneath shattered boulders. It appears this military cohort was unfortunate enough to find themselves right beside a cliff just as a storm loosened the soil and stone. How unlucky of them… perhaps a bit too unlucky.

To those of [Dubious Origins] or to those who have connections in the underworld, they’d catch some mild speculation. The wagons were suspiciously empty of any chests or containers. Some think the soldiers were transporting cargo from a recent shipwreck and that an outfit of criminals were responsible. This wouldn’t be the first time such a heist has occurred. Others remember that months prior, a convoy of merchants were swindled by a crew impersonating the Militia. In both cases, the culprits left without a trace, leaving with whatever they were after. Even to those in the crime-world, contacting this mysterious crew has proven impossible. They’ve been lying low, probably figuring out what to do with their spoils and waiting for things to cool down. Whatever they scored, it was big; important enough to stop their activities for a while. But whispers flutter around that the Outfit is eager for another score once the coast is clear. The Great Caravan Heist won't be their last move...
