[QUOTE="Ry, post: 3680009, member: 8314"] Problem: The farrier, Topp, is a friend of the Master and his host while staying in Iova's Tryst. Topp inherited a sizeable debt upon the death of his own father, Tauper. A few days after the PCs encounter Javeed, they find out that he has bought up Topp's debt, and is demanding a faster schedule of repayment. The farrier now works on horseshoes night and day, and is in danger of collapse, but is too proud to ask for help. Javeed also refuses to sell the debt unless the PCs publicly admit to having tricked him dishonorably in their previous confrontation - and then, he will only part from it at an exorbitant price. The PCs may find alternate solutions to this situation. Threat: The PCs see Topp leading an old horse, that is limping behind him. Topp has the unfortunate task of putting down one of his older horses, who has gone lame. As the players turn the corner, they hear a "THWACK" and a heartrending whinny, that begins to sound more like a shriek. A pair of large horses (treat as warhorses) spook and one throws its rider; both go wildly out of control and charge down the road towards the PCs. Resource: Topp has a lovely daughter, Ipna, who is very knowledgeable about any social goings-on in Iova's Tryst. She knows, for example, that Javeed, the son of Sir Othen, is seeing a young noblewoman from the East who is staying with her aunt in Bidmarket. (Ipna adds "Poor girl.") Reward: Topp is actually a very talented farrier, and if befriended can shod the horses with masterwork horseshoes at half the usual price. If the PCs bought horses anywhere near Iova's Tryst, he knows the horses by name. He also inquires after the PCs' horses whenever he sees them. [/QUOTE]
