“Offerings from the devout are always welcome. What kind of offering would you like to make?” Lewellyn replies to Rowyn, pausing to pet Sabala on the head.

Manzanita, Zanock, Alyssa, Devan, Adromon and Aronai head over to the Slashing Sword. It’s a large tavern, with well-worn floors and tables. There still aren’t many people about, but there are a few early dwarven drunks at a center table, and a mixed group of gnomes and halflings playing darts. In the back next to the large hearth, unused in the summer, is a young half-orc nursing a big mug of grog and twirling a throwing knife in his hand. Several humans are busy carrying boxes into the kitchen, in preparation for the night. A hallway in the back leads to the common room, and stairs lead to the upstairs private rooms. There are plenty of large tables free, as well as a few booths. The bar is mostly free as well.
There's a board with jobs postings on it. There are plenty of recruitment posters for all kinds of laborers, especially stoneworkers and woodworkers. There are several rewards offered to clear out various monsters that have been sighted by the patrols but have managed to elude them. These include ogres, owlbears, and trolls. And there’s a reward of 100 gp offered for information helping to locate a black-haired human male known as the Shadow, who is wanted for questioning by The Silent Traders.
