As you pass by the gatehouse you hear the sound of galloping from behind you, a lone rider moving with great haste.
As he closes within shouting distance he calls out,
"Wyndham! I have news! Let us speak!"
Wyndham waves and then trots over to have a word with him.
After a few moments you see Wyndham pass the stranger a small pouch and you hear the unmistakable jingle of coins.
The stranger gives Wyndham a curt nod then circles back the way he came. He speeds off leaving a trail of dust in his wake.
Wyndham walks back to you and takes a tentative breath before speaking.
"Friends, that was an agent who I sent on a mission to confirm whether the rumors were true that I have a living brother. They are! All these years I've spent alone thinking I was an only orphan... My brother resides in far-off town called Riverrun and there awaits my arrival. I must go. Now. But I do not wish to leave you empty-handed. For you, Devin, a bar of silver worth 100 gold to help rebuild the temple. Brilliance and Lady Chessintra, some equipment to help you on your way:
- Lantern
- Flasks of oil (8)
- Rations (1.5 weeks)
- ten sticks of chalk
- four sheets of parchment
- a quill
- a scroll case
- Torches (12)
- an ink vial
And you, Derry," says Wyndham, patting the dwarf's shoulder.
"A few token gifts to celebrate our adventures together:
- 100gp
- Small pot of slow acting poison.
- Small pot of fast acting poison."
"May you all travel well and safely, and receive whatever rewards the Fates have in store for you."
With that, Wyndham waves farewell to you and begins the long journey to reunite with his family.
