Miscellaneous
Jeets: Jeets also gives some insight about the island as well as a crudely drawn map and gives a quick overview of Outding Refuge and Heyton's Thorpe. It is a democratic thorp, small village, last run by Viggie Storr and possibly still the mayor. He is a decent chap, in his opinion. There is a gambling den on the East side of the village. The garrison here is present but loosely staffed. The Mayor controls this police force. There is a library here, not the most prominent (such as the Grand Athenaeum of Elhyrst, a large library of Elhyrst in the Empire of Caedal (on the westside of Æwrûn .) There is an interesting lady, Helga, with interesting wares to the North, Helga's Herbs & Oddities. Also, some of the rocks in the harbor seem to have strange runes carved in them that glow; it looks helpful for ships navigating the entry.Went to: Wavecrest Tavern owned by Sigmund Bowerston and his wife, Ingrid Bowerston
Viggie Storr is an older gentleman Human. Viggie: He speaks of how the Dragon turned the tropical island into the snow. The Sahuagin were long kept at by a Crystal that makes a hum only they can hear, and it was frozen over. The Mayor sent a party of 5 to take a Metal netting with some magical rocks, but they never returned. There are tunnels all over this island, and that is how the Sahuagin are now coming in because some of these tunnels do go to an island south full of Sahuagin. The Mayor needs someone to find the party and finish the mission. He will provide free rooms, some magical items (Ring of Alertness & Ring of Cold Resistance), Healing Potion, and gemstones to anyone who can finish the mission. He would also like the fallen for their families or for their safe return if not Dead. If they find the crystals and netting, they just need to say "Ignitus" to activate its magic. Be careful; it gets hot fast. Be careful of the Sahuagin, especially the Sahuagin Baron "Vekz Spluhr." There were also discussions on how some villagers are convinced that the Sahuagin and the Dragon are connected in some way, but others are not so sure.Villagers (in Heyton's Thorpe):
