Zenny's gang

Zenny's gang, formerly Trevor's gang, is a gang of bandits operating in the Dwendalian Empire in 835 PD. They are most notable for their repeated encounters with the Mighty Nein.

History
The gang is a group of impoverished highwaymen, generally in poor health with shabby gear. The group had several horses that they likely stole from various places.

In Sydenstar 835 PD, the gang first encountered the Mighty Nein as they were camping along the Amber Road between Alfield and Zadash, where the gang of nine circled the party's camp, weapons raised. Caleb cast Friends on the gang's de facto leader, Trevor and tried to convince the bandits that they had a virulent form of syphilis. When the spell ended however, Trevor realized he was charmed and the Nein attacked, where Trevor was killed by a Scorching Ray from Caleb. After this the rest of the bandits surrendered. Mollymauk admonished the bandits and asked who their new leader was, where Zenny stepped up and decided he was after winning a game of Boulder-Parchment-Shears against another member. Molly went on to tell the bandits to find a new line of work, then gave each of them a gold piece before sending them on their way. Zenny decided they'd make their way to Felderwin.

A month later in Fessuran, the Mighty Nein encountered the gang again as they were camping while traveling along the Gravelway Path from the Felderwin Tillage towards Hupperdook, where they ran into a trap the bandits had set up around a cart they had stolen. The bandits, now reduced to only five members fired several crossbows at the Nein before one realized who they were and told the others to stop, apologizing profusely. Mollymauk admonished the bandits again and Caleb threatened them to find work other than banditry.

Several months later in Thunsheer 836 PD, the Mighty Nein ran into the gang a third time while they were traveling towards Kamordah on the Bromkiln Byway from Zadash. Seeing another camp nearby, Nott scouted the camp and found a half-butchered animal and got caught in a spring noose trap. After cutting herself loose, the bandits-turned-trappers approached to find the broken trap, and fanned out to find their prey. Ultimately the spooked hunters ran into Nott and Jester, shooting them crossbows before realizing who it was, and apologized profusely again. They told the Nein that they had turned to hunting and selling pelts, and only occasional thievery without hurting anyone. They were then spooked away by Caleb, who had Polymorphed into a giant ape.

The gang encountered the Mighty Nein a final time three months later in Sydenstar in Nicodranas. Both parties were spending the night carousing and bumped into each other in the street. The gang saw Kingsley, who they recognized as Molly from the earlier encounters, apologized and then ran away.

Known members

Trivia
The gang is often referred to by the fandom as the Bad Luck Bandits due to their numerous meetings with the Mighty Nein ending in the bandits' misfortune. They are also sometimes called the Syphilis Bandits, despite the fact that it was the Mighty Nein who pretended to have syphilis during their first encounter, and not the bandits.
