Around Town
Eric the Town Reeve
"Good, good," the short, heavy-set man with the lampchops says to Nessa when she reveals that she is one of the strangers recently come to town.

"And a rest would be grand, lass, just grand! But I am Eric, Reeve and Baliff of Brandonsford... and I'm afraid I will not truly rest until we are rid of this accursed dragon! The business I have is that of payment! Should you slay the beast, there is a reward! One thousand golden coins from the towns' treasury--virtually emptying its coffers!"

The Herbalist's Shop
Ingrid the Herbalist
Ingrid is looking out her window, at something across the street when Wren barges in and startles the woman.

"A-Ahoy!" she says beck before Gann steps up to engage with the woman. She blinks nervously at the mention of the witch and the Marchguard (these things often do not go well together, witches and soldiers), and she still hasn't formed a full sentence when Wren cuts in again. Finally, the slender woman wrings her hands and responds.

"I--well. Yes. And hello. I'm Ingrid. There's a dragon marauding in these woods, it's true! A most... ferocious one. What else do you want to know about the surrounding area? Vivian isn't... a witch, at least as you would think. She's a wise woman who knows much about the spirit world. She--she might be the one to ask about the dragon!"

Ingrid is socially awkward, that much is clear. But she is also distracted by something outside, and almost as an afterthought she gestures to the shelves that contain her wards.

"F-forgive me. Might I interest you in... essence of Wolfsbane? Witch powder... or mandrake root tea?"

Picking up a piece of what looks like amber from her counter, the shop-owner shakes it, causing it to glow beautifully. Underground, it would light a tunnel with east. "Or something a bit more... magical? Ancient elfin spellweaves light this firelight citrine..."

The Mercantilist's
Cedric the Merchant
"My name is Cedric," the merchant says, "and I do have such a map. Just need to mind where I put it."

As he sorts through a collection of scrolls and old map cases behind his counter, the man keeps one eye on Sable. "And you two gentlemen are...? Ah! Here it is. Three gold for the map you seek. An accurate representation of Brandonsford and its surrounds."
OOC:
Sable sees that the shop is equipped with dried rations and various adventuring supplies. Several shelves are empty of goods.
