Evaine Bright

A demure businesswoman, with a porcelain complexion and dark hair, Evaine is saddened by the sudden decline of Relford.
Aside from her personal effects, she owns an amount of dress jewelry to the value of 1200gp and carries a small +2 dagger sheathed into her garter. Evaine also wears an elaborate ring with gold filigree that contains a secret compartment. Within it, is a dose of Oil of Taggit (Ingested Poison; save Fortitude DC15; onset 1 minute; effect unconsciousness for 1d3 hours; cure 1 save). A further 5 doses are kept in a perfume bottle on her dresser. Evaine knows the bulk of the rumors circulating Relford, and is careful which ones she perpetuates herself in company she does not trust. As a businesswoman, her reaction appears friendly, but is in actual fact, unfriendly (Base DC20) borne from a genuine fear for her life. This façade can be divined with a successful Sense Motive check versus Evaine’s Bluff skill. If the PCs show Evaine Garrod’s journal and express a willingness to help Relford, her reaction changes to helpful (Base DC0). Garrod (DC+7): “A poor man who I believe saw too much.” Temple Raid (DC+7): Evaine knows that the temple was not attacked by brigands, because she is privy to the same information as Jek. She suspects Kelnor has something to do with it. Craddoc Farrow/The Farrow family (DC+7): Evaine has seen Craddoc’s wife after she encountered her in the street, late one evening (Part 1, Location 15). Craddoc showed up and took her home before the dagonspawn zombie could attack her. Evaine did not get a good look at her face but she knows that the woman did not look at all well. Before the so-called ‘temple raid’, Craddoc had taken an unhealthy interest in the bordello, showing up a number of times. Evaine knows that Jek is after part of Craddoc’s harvest and for him, tried to be compliant but Craddoc’s obsessions scared her. On his last visit, Craddoc beat a girl near to death. Evaine threw Craddoc out. Garik Karel, the Teamster (DC+10): Because of what he did for Evaine, Garik has cost Jek a lot of potential revenue. Now she is worried for Garik’s life. The Mine Closure (DC+7): Evaine knows that Jek has been doing his own investigations into the mine closure
Development: If Jek (Part 1, Location 7) becomes aware that someone is trying to question Evaine, he will send his road-agents, Vaskar, Crais and Tollard (Part 1, Location 7B) to deal with the problem. Regardless of who ends up with the upper hand, Evaine does not wish to see further deaths. She appeals to victor’s better natures for mercy.
