SAM: That’s who we’re looking for.
ASHLY: And they are the rival family of the folks
that employ the Iron Shepherds.
SAM: That seems like where we should go, because
the Iron Sheps won’t be there to poke around and
find us.
LIAM: That is correct.
MARISHA: What is the name of that place again?
ASHLY, LIAM, and SAM: The Landlocked Lady.
ASHLY: The proprietor is kind of a skeeze ball, as
you would imagine. Not necessarily the most
trustworthy guy, but it is run by the Marduns. So
of the safe places in the town, that’s probably up there.
LIAM: Are you still laying across the back of a
horse or have you pulled yourself up?
ASHLY: I have a little opening that I made for
myself.
(laughter)
ASHLY: It’s just my face with a cigarette still.
MATT: This little–
SAM: Our horse is smoking.
MARISHA: Amazing.
SAM: I vote Landlocked Lady.
LIAM: Of course.
MARISHA: (muffled) I agree.
SAM and MATT: All right.
SAM: Lead us there with smoke signals.

and stopping to stare you down as you slowly move
past. They continue their work. You nearly step
over someone with your horse who appears to be
passed out, face down in a patch of dirty snow. A
bit of crimson rests at their side. They’re not
moving. As you circle around them you watch as two
rough-looking fellows in hide clad armor come and
inspect him. As you glance over your shoulder, you
watch as they rummage through his pockets, lift up
his not moving body and dump him in one of the
nearby alleys and keep on walking. You see no
Crownsguard.
SAM: Oh man.
MATT: This is the first town any of you have been
in that has no watch. No law keepers. The road
doesn’t go far north from where you enter as most
of the town is this long stretched bar, so within
15 minutes you’ve hit the plaza. The central plaza
to the town that you know as the Clover Plaza. You
see log benches dotting the open area, while a
