Author's blurb: This is the 41st in an ongoing series aimed to provide the overworked DM with ready-to run encounters. Travelling down a forest road the PCs encounter an overdone stereotype: a princess menaced by bandits! But is all as it appears to be? It includes a history/background for the encounter, a map, and monster stats. The companion ZIP file contains JPEG versions of the maps (with and without grid), a Hero Lab file, the Word file of the encounter, and a PDF with character sheets for all the monsters.
