    factors of the daily going ons. The elders are the head

    Executive and Head of trade commission.

    Verik’s Business
    Verik is specifically coming to Eador to pick up several barrels
    of colored sand. These are kept out back of the building with
    Crystal Walls (Fimbrizzle’s cousin Grarnizz). However when he
    sees the state of the village he realizes there is trouble afoot.

    He will dispatch his two guards along with the players to try
    to figure out what is happening to the poor gnomes. It is
    worth mentioning that all the “loot” here was actually taken
    from this village and a human village called Therus further
    down the Menori Mountain Trail. While the gnomes will be
    very pleased with the characters for freeing them, any
    looting of their homes will quickly change this factor.

    Verik will also react negatively if he figures out they are


    looting the poor gnomes objects. To be clear half the silver
    and all the copper belongs to the gnomes. The exception to
    this is the money found on Slavish.

    Gramizz will be sure to send a message to his cousin if he


    finds out the saviors are heading to Verik’s Delve. This will
    result in a 10% increase to items sold to Fimbrizzle and a 10%
    decrease to his prices. That is provided the characters are not
    caught taking Eador resident’s personal effects.

    After the characters free the gnomes, Verik will pay Gramizz
    and gather the barrels up. He will make sure to have the
    players grab gnoll fangs for bounty and Slavash’s head for
    bounty as well. This should help to get players use to
    collecting bounties and body parts.

    The players will travel approximately 1.5 days to reach the


    abandoned and now vacant human village of Therus. Verik
    will be very disturbed at the sight of so much damage but he
    will ask the opinion of his two vault guard companions. Egil,
    older of the two will examine tracks and scuffles and
    determine that this was the same bandits as before.

    Nothing of real value is left in the human town. From the


    Therus the next stop is Verik’s Delve. Roll for random
    encounters in mountains forested table if possible. If time
    allows bring them into town and get them outfitted as per a
    Market V town. Verik will take special interest and equip
    them in what he has to offer in town despite cost.
