Bedroom (The Barracks)
As expected, this room is filled with rows of bunk-beds to accommodate a couple of dozen sleeping bandits. However, you've never seen finely-crafted antique solid-oak bunk-beds before. Also, the sheets and blankets look pretty expensive, and the beds are neatly made, to the point of fastidiousness. Some of the bunks have sets of silk pajamas carefully folded and placed on the foot of the bed. On the whole, it's a long way from the moth-eaten hammocks and burlap sacks stuffed with straw that you were expecting.
There are a number of carefully-matched antique dressers lined up along the walls, which look to be a likely place to find a key to Lopez's hacienda. You also spot a door to the bathroom on the far wall.
| Search the beds |
Man, just look at these beds. Soft feather mattresses, thick fluffy pillows, absurdly high thread-count sheets... these look like handmade Amish quilts, too. You think back to your campsite and wonder briefly if they'd let you join. Then you smack yourself in the head and start searching for that key.
Possible results:
You look underneath all the beds, and then start pulling back the blankets to look under them as well. One of the blankets turns out to have a bandit underneath it, and he seems a little surprised and upset.

or:
You search around and under the beds, but don't find any keys. You do find one of those fancy cloth masks people use to blindfold themselves while sleeping, though, so you take that instead.

You search the beds again, but don't find anything else. Ho hum.
| Search the dressers |
You inspect the rows of antique dressers, noting that the drawers all have little brass plaques with the bandits' names on them. Presumably so the bandits don't accidentally get each others' drawers. Or socks.
You search around and under the dressers, and root through the bandits' laundry (ugh), but don't find anything of interest.

You search around and under the dressers, but don't find any keys, so you start looking in the drawers. Presently you hear a cough behind you, and turn to see a mariachi bandit who is obviously wondering why you're poking around in his underwear.

or:
You carefully search the area, but don't manage to find a key to Lopez's hacienda. You do find a clue, however, which strikes you as oddly out of place considering how fastidiously tidy these bandits seem to be. Hmm.
or:
You don't see any keys in the immediate vicinity, so you start pulling open the drawers and poking around. You still don't find any keys, so you steal a pair of sock garters instead. Because, seriously, mariachi bandit sock garters? That's just too weird to not steal.

| Search the bathroom |
This is the least horrifying communal bathroom you've ever seen -- all the shower stalls have partitions (with doors!), and all the surfaces are gleaming and polished. The toilets look clean enough to use as soup tureens (though you'd have to be careful not to accidentally flush your dinner). There aren't even any toothpaste splatters on the mirrors over the sinks. You wonder if all the bandits are neat-freaks, or do they just have one very tired OCD guy?

You make a cursory search of the room and soon discover that one of the bandits has left a brass key on the sink next to his toothbrush. That was easy.

You search the room carefully, but don't find any keys. However, as you're looking around the sinks, you happen to look up at the mirror and see a bandit standing behind you with a towel and a puzzled expression on his face. (The towel isn't on his face. Just the expression.)
| Fight! |
| Sneak out of the fort |
Quietly as the shadow of a very quiet thing (like maybe a snake or a giraffe), you sneak back out of the bandits' barracks. (still consumes an adventure)
