a rock as big as your head, or a string with garlic on it. No way. Powerful magic in each
one.

• 79) A couple of town guards approach the party to ask a few questions. They're not

captain. After some harsh word exchanges the merchant is forced out of town with threats

remove him to make place for honest merchants.

• 81) As the party enters town they are asked to deposit they're weapons at the town
guard armory. If they refuse, there will be questions. At no point is anyone being
intolerant and mean, however. The guards just want to make sure the PCs aren't
troublemakers, and repeatedly point out that the safety of the populace is what matters.

him as the famous adventurer / war hero, who was his/her idol when s/he was a child.
