O'Donogan Gang

A gang run by Denton O'Donogan that currently runs the town of Goldstead.

Description
The O'Donogan Gang are not honorable criminals, choosing instead to just take what they want. They've been terrorizing the area around Goldstead in the Painted Valley for some time. Recently, they burned down the sheriff's office in Goldstead and ran the sheriff out of town, and they now have free reign there.

Denton O'Donogan will take just about anyone who can swing a sword of wield a gun into the gang. Although the members can be quite cowardly and fighting is not their strong suit, the Gang's strength is in their numbers - as soon as you squash some, more spring up. There are about thirty at the main camp at Hannigan's Bluff, but there are many more throughout the valley. The members of the gang seem enthusiastic about their leader, and they are social with each other.

Camp at Hannigan's Bluff
The main O'Donogan Gang camp is at Hannigan's Bluff. This is a rock outcropping in the forest, with the cliff hanging over the road of the Golden Route. The camp is cluttered, with scattered tents and a central campfire. The woods around the camp are patrolled by scouts, and riddled with traps that are designed to alert the gang to intruders (bear traps, sound traps, trip wires, etc.).

Tolls
The O'Donogan Gang exacts "tolls" from travelers in the Painted Valley. For example, Doc Berry's bag of arcane instruments is taken for his failure to pay a toll.

Aona Esen also had a run in with a group taking tolls. Although the gang attacked first, Aona killed half of them, and left the other half in a terrible state, unable to fight. They didn't just have physical damage, but some came back with ruptured eardrums or fearing god. Denton is not one to take a defeat like this lightly, especially since it was just one man who killed so many. Groups loyal to the gang are all on the lookout for the genasi, seeing this as an opportunity to gain favor and secure a spot in the main O'Donogan Gang camp. Kerry, when telling this information to the party, also mentions that they did not target Azzurum just because he was an air genasi, but because the people who reported Azzurum's presence to him were absolutely certain that Azzurum has the same face as the air genasi in question.
