"Traitors and their involvement in bandit gangs report" to Grey on 1027/01/01:

They are mercenaries/thugs/bandits/guards/lowlives - whatever pays the bills
at the time. Adventurers if they have to be. They decided to get the info on
the network after Tess approached them. They had no magic affecting them.
Their intentions were detected after interviewing them with Daya using a
Detect Lies spell.

Quotes: "Once we're bought, we stay bought." (And they were clearly lying.)

They've worked in bandit gangs. Consistent information about three locations
in the wilderness of the bandit gangs. They do move around, if one area gets
too hot. Bandit gangs were: 1 group human, 1 group orcs, 1 group monsters
(mixed).

Baratkand has a little more bandit gangs than other places due to the long
road from one side of Baratkand to the other. They tell how much they took
(dozens of rupees (= hundreds of gp), they give details of the bandit bosses.
The bandits don't have any wizards or priests. The bandits raided even
more than normal when Hule was in Baratkand. They did raid hulean caravans,
until they came to a bad end. Seems someone sold them out to the huleans...
The Huleans only targetted gangs which messed with them. The survivors are
still in the wilderness.

Tess got Daya to check names given and location details with Detect Lies
spells.

They told Tess as little as they think they can get away with. Tess gave
Grey the details. Summary: "These prisoners aren't cooperating, made the
choice on their own without outside influence, and are unlikely to be of any
use, as they do whatever to make some money and have no loyalty." Tess is
certian BTW that they have broken numerous laws. Probably they don't want to
tell him about the worst ones, or incidents in which they will burn someone
who is capable of striking back. They will go to their execution believing
it's all to scare them.

Tess' strong recommendation is that they receive the appropriate sentence
for being thugs, murderers, bandits, and traitors. Hanging is appropriate
from what we've discussed. I recommend not doing this publically, so that
we can make use of the some of the information Tess gleaned from them.

Tess will follow up and locate the bandit gangs, if you wish. Do you have
cavalry available to deal with them once I've located them? I'd recommend
that you and I work in unison, when you have time available. I'll be able
to spy on them fairly easily, once I locate them, and you can bring in
the troops to the locations. We can use the communicators for me to
update you on bandit positions.
