Level 7 Bandit · Dusty Crossroads

Field notes
A highwayman who watches the crossroads from the brush, stepping out with a leveled gun the moment a wagon slows.
What you are walking into
Road Bandit is level 7, carries 65 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It has no trick to it beyond persistence, so the fight comes down to your draws and your gear. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Road Bandit plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Road Bandit
Road Bandit is encountered at Dusty Crossroads. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for Dusty Crossroads covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 95 experience and between $10 and $24. Its loot table can yield Stolen Goods and Stolen Watch. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
