Me and Tara continued to explore the island. The night began to fall upon us. While we were exploring, we stumbled upon a bandit outpost. We attacked the bandits, and it was a pretty damn close fight. These bandits weren't like any of the bandits we fought so far. They were brutally tough and experienced fighters.
"That was not an easy fight," I said to Tara.
"Definitely not, Ricky," Tara replied. "That one bandit was pretty heavily armored."
"Yeah, he was," I responded. "I wonder where he got all that equipment from."
Me and Tara were on top of the wall and began looting the outpost. I looked into the distance, and I could see a prisoner trapped in a cage.
"There's a prisoner in a cage over there," I said to Tara.
"We better go rescue him, Ricky," Tara replied.
Me and Tara went to rescue the prisoner. We were able to open the cage with the key that we found on a fallen bandit. We asked the prisoner if he wanted to come with us, but he said he wanted to go his own way.
"Well, I wish him the best of luck," I said to Tara.
"Me too," she replied.
Afterwards, me and Tara made our way down a hill and ended up at a dock that was guarded by more bandits. We took out the bandits and looted the dock.
"There seem to be a lot of bandits in the area," I said.
"This must be an important outpost for them if there's a dock here," Tara replied.
"Yeah, the dock and the appearance of that heavily armed bandit," I said. "There's something definitely going on with these bandits across British Columbia."
That was quite the battle with bandits. I wonder what they're using this outpost for. Could this possibly be their main command outpost? I don't know for sure, but these were definitely experienced fighters. Also, me and Tara found some pretty decent-looking equipment while looting the outpost. We found some valuable-looking armor and weapons. I actually think the sword that we found is an artifact. The quality of it looks so remarkable. We haven't seen a sword like this before. For now, I guess we'll just put it in storage until we get a better examination of it.
