I'm a bit behind, but I think raiders or a warband would be a proper first conflict. As far as getting the interest of the out of towners - I mean, common morals would tell us that these raiders are inherently bad, and this may be enough for the out of towners to defend the town

Or cause, pointy bits aimed towards them. And depending on size, they don't have a chance to GUN it, cause the Warband/Raiders got to surround the entire town. Also, as ya know, wanna stab 'em. Stab 'em reeeaaaaal goooood...

But really, the real question is, Why do they stay AFTER this, when they get a chance to, shove off? This place tried to kill em! Why would they be staying here after that!?
