Cliques
The cliques get along reasonably well but in case of friction they break down as follows:
- Sir Michael and Lord's staff who dislike their own peasants
- Villagers, many of whom have family among the bandits in the nearby forest
- Priestess and her acolytes who side against Sir Michael at every opportunity
- Bandits, many of whom have family among the peasants

Bandits
- Helry's efforts to help Lexor, a wanted bandit escape to the forest not to distant are thwarted by Sir Michael who is spending nights riding around the village practicing with the lance.
- When Lexor is captured before he can rob some nobles in the forest, Helry and the peasants attempt to finish the job dressed as Lexor and his men (thus proving Lexor's innocense).
- Sir Michael nabs a bandit, so Helry takes the focus off his catch by making Sir Michael think the bandits fellows are trying to kill him.
- The sheriff's men have recovered stolen taxes and are storing it in Sir Michaels manorhouse until reinforcements arrive to guard it on the road. Brigads and a few mecenaries get word of the treasure and the village looks to become a battleground.
- Bandits have moved into town secretly to wait out the worst of a winter storm. The peasants don't want them but don't really have a choice.
- Bandits raid the stables and steal three mounts which causes Sir Michael to being a massive hunt into the forest.
- The peasants are chasing a dog around after it buries a map they believe leads to where the local bandits have buried their loot.
- The peasants believe the bandit treasure is in an old dry well and try to figure a way to get to it without alerting Sir Michael.
- Helry finds an old shield in the fields sending Sir Michael and his guards on a wild goose chase looking for the bandits that left it behind.
- A captive bandit helps Sir Michael set up a coin shaving operation and Helry is planning on destroying it out of spite.
Peasants & the Priestess

- Helry concocts a rumor that Sir Michael will be awarded extra title to distract the Lord until the end of the Summer faire.
- The peasants provide labor to build extension to the manor and give credit to the Priestess. The hope is to butter up Sir Michael into allowing the Summer Faire which he's sworn will not be allowed.
- Three Priestesses show up at the village temple and everyone wants to know why.
- When Sir Michael comes across ale brewed secretly by the peasants to avoid taxes, Helry convinces the Lord that it has been brewed special for the faire as a surprise for him from the Priestess.
- After Sir Michael finds Sir Mathias drunk he puts super-serious Sir Allan in charge of the guards just in time for him to ruin the faire for everyone.
- The guards arrange for peasant quarterstaff fights and most of peasants aren't happy about the abuse as a large and dumb peasant has been enjoying the bouts too much and has seriously hurt a number of his fellows.
- The Priestess purchase expensive Holy Spices and hosts a massive meal that everyone inedible.
- One of the Serfs makes a bid for sanctuary in the temple and Sir Michael is ready to invade the church to drag the man out.
