Questing
Day One
Merry leaves Lock & Barrel, takes Stock. Mahina stays with Ugly to watch the captives Rust opens the door himself when party gets there.
Party exchanges pleasantries, Rust says he was just talking about Tempest. Tempest introduces the party who is there with her: Nora, Book & Merry. Merry gives Stock a command to stay outside.
Tempest explains she met her new friends through various circumstances and that they want to help her with Rust's problem. Rust invites them inside.
Hard to tell how old Rust is but carries himself as if he could be 45 or 50.
Rust is nervous that Tempest showed up with people he doesn't know because his investments have caused him some drama. He states that they have gotten more investors because he has reassured them that Tempest has been guarding their plans.
Rust offers another, more posh cottage to Tempest on the other side of town if she needs it.
Merry tells Rust about ambush in vague terms and Rust is thrilled, saying it's another story he can give about how great Tempest is at thwarting rogues.
Merry leverages this to see if Rust can figure out who might have sent someone to ambush them because he's afraid it is someone high up in the city and thinks there might be some security issues with keeping the rogues in the town jail. Rust says he'll make a big stink to keep them secure and it would help his cause immensely.
Rust is confused when they tell him that the captives are at the cottage, and Book reassures him that they are in the shed. Rust is still not thrilled that they are at his property. He calls for one of his servants.
Malcolm is briefed by the party about the captives (H Trick & Jux). Tempest goes with Malcolm to get town guard. Malcolm explains these brigands attacked Tempest, the town heroine, and easily gets them to comply.
Merry moves his dogs into a clearing nearby.
Malcolm speaks to the guard and explains that Tempest was attacked again by Rust's enemies, and that she "kindly accosted" them (since she could have killed them easily). The guard go with Malcolm and Tempest to the cottage.
