Background

The Maebelle has been taking tourists from Steepford to Farhaven and back along the River Hale for over 10 years. The Maebelle is a luxury paddleboat with space for two dozen guests plus crew. The weeklong ride is usually a relaxing affair and in high demand due to the beautiful scenery, but the boat has been out of action for the last few weeks. At certain points along the route, the river narrows significantly forcing the Maebelle to slow down to pass through, and it seems a group of bandits has taken note of these locations.

On its previous voyage the boat was boarded by surprise, the guests robbed and manhandled and the engine scuppered. After being slowly hauled back to port, the damage was fixed, but the usually popular excursion is struggling to sell tickets. Word has spread of the attack, and very few travellers are willing to take the risk.

Captain Bevan, the Maebelle’s owner and helmsman, is offering a free ride including food and board to any adventurers willing to protect the ship from further attacks. He also believes the engine was previously damaged by someone already onboard to slow any escape, and that the same person may have been I contact with the bandits to tell them when and where to set up the ambush. It could have been a guest, but more likely a member of his crew. While he is openly advertising the protection job, he will secretly offer a significant bonus for any investigation work that uncovers the inside man or woman.
