Zachary Finn

Zachary Finn is Relford’s carpenter, having moved here a year before the earthquake to try and make a go of his first business. His craftsmanship is of a high standard and he produces finished pieces relatively quickly. Currently, he has a standing arrangement to maintain the wagons owned by the Teamsters Office (Part 1, Location 6). Up until recently, their regular trips ferrying ore to nearby cities has kept him busy in repairs. Anyone making a DC15 Perception Check will notice that two of the wagon wheels appear different to the others; these were in fact owned by Koch Koblin; who sent them here for repairs. The Bizarre Bazaar was attacked soon after, and the wheels never collected. Zachary is a courteous, friendly but guarded man. If he sees anyone going to his house or approaching his six year-old daughter Meri, he is likely to call out for Eva, his wife. She arrives soon after and attempts to whisk the child indoors. Their initial reaction is friendly (Base DC10). Aside from general rumors, he also knows the following: Barad the Blacksmith (DC+0): “The Blacksmith is a hard man, but his family is nice enough. They keep to themselves, mostly.” (True) Garrod (DC+0): “I remembered the day he came into Relford, whooping and hollering; he had an uncut diamond the size of his fist. Within a month, he had squandered his new fortune on drinkand women. After the earthquake, I would see him wandering about Relford; taking notes and such, and always muttering. He used to climb the Old Oak until the Watch would come and get him. I think he was friends with Galwinn at the Miner’s Rest.” (True) The Bizarre Bazaar (DC+0): “Run by a disagreeable little man called Koch Koblin; him and his ilk skipped Relford before I could collect on the dues he owed me!” Zachary frowns, gesturing towards two of the wagon wheels in his barn (True). Temple raid (DC-10): “An evil, evil deed. As a worshipper of Rax, I offered to repair the shrine’s interior for free. I expect High Priest Kelnor is still in shock since Father Arden’s death. It’s been months since anyone has set foot in the shrine.” Development: If Meri is present, she looks at her father quizzically if Zachary makes any comment about Koch Koblin or the Bizarre Bazaar. Meri has in fact seen the ‘Circus Man’ (Koch Koblin) through her bedroom window, stealing through the streets at night (in search of food). A forthright little girl, Meri gladly reveals this in a sing-song voice to anyone who asks her directly. If not present, she is often found out the front of their house, singing quietly to herself about the “Circus, circus dwarfie man, he catches rats for his frying pan.”
Eva Finn is his wife and Meri Finn is their daughter.

Middling height, wide shoulders, with green eyes and short red hair. He has bushy eyebrows and his speech is nervous. Likes to whistle.
