There, they have taken a job to find out who has been stealing shipments from Over the Hop Brewing. The castaways joined a caravan heading toward Glastonbury hoping to catch the thieves in the act.
A clever druid spotted an ambush along the wooded path. The sneaky and convincing rogue got the leader of the small group of bandits to spill the beans about the attacks.
It seams someone has been paying them to steal from the brewery and is even letting them keep the ill-gotten gains. What a deal!
Our team learned that whoever the bandits meet with isn't much of the criminal type but is savvy enough to keep themselves anonymous.
When returning to town, the heroes have to wade through a demonstration by a group calling themselves The Green Circle. Something about unfair taxes or corruption in the governor's office or some such.
Natch meets with Blind Pete at the Dancing Damsel where Pete mentions that he's seen someone there once or twice who looked out of place in such a bar.
Gathering some more intel from their working class friends, the party decides to infiltrate the secret Green Circle meeting that night.
There they see some familiar faces and they meet Mathison, the reluctant leader of the cause.
He explains that he believes that Governor Andre is an installed leader who is paid by the SSTC. To what end, he's not sure but it just doesn't smell right. Also his high taxes are a burden on the local shop owners and many of them are looking at potentially having to shut down and move to more hospitable territory.
He suggests there might be evidence of the wrongdoings somewhere in the offices of the SSTC docks.
The meeting was cut short buy a guard raid on the building where our team dispatched of their assailants but lost Mathison in the melee.
