“Did you lose something.” His smile will
grow as he scans the skies with a hand
shading his eyes saying, “Dragons are not
at all common to this land. Could I help you
find it. My name,” he says while bowing, ” is
Terrin Havener. I am at your service.”

At this, Terrin will start laughing. “For a
price, of course.”
If the party asks how he knows about the
Sword of the Dragon, he will dodge their question,
merely saying that he knows people who
know people, and that he was on the grapevine
at the right time. If they ask the whereabouts
of the sword, he laughs and asks where
his payment is. When the party asks for a
price, Terrin asks the party if they like to gamble.
Then he will say either 200 gp for each
piece of information, or 1,000 for everything
he knows.
Regardless of their choice, he will tell them
to meet him at the Guard lbwer Inn just after
nightfall. Once there, they are to ask the barkeeper,
Dougalas, to see the whistling man.
At the Guard ’Ilower Inn
If the party asks the barkeeper to see the
whistling man, he will tell them to be seated
for a while and enjoy free drinks. After about
half an hour he will send a waitress out to
their table with a note and a key. The note
says:
30
speak dth the Whistling man, you have to krw~ a j h tunes
yourseg Can you remember what he Hhistled earlier today? Have
you ever noticed that the air, Without a song, is empty? Here is the
key to his room.
If the characters insert the key without having
whistled the tune (which is easily remembered),
when they enter the room it will be
empty, an open window his obvious means of
escape. Actually, he is standing quietly in a
corner, invisible, to see if they are actually
servants of Serval. If he can discern their real
motives from their conversation, he will take a
timely moment to reappear without their noticing.
If, however, they did whistle the tune, he
will be standing before the open window with
a crossbow, carefully unloading it. He will ask
that they shut and lock the door, then that
they enjoy the food that he has ordered. (If the
characters distrust him and refuse the food, he
will begin sampling each item there to prove
his trustworthiness.)
This done, he will ask about payment and if
they brought sufficient funds with which to
purchase his knowledge. He will tell them to
stop him after his first sentence if they already
have the information, for he does not want to
waste his breath or time, nor their money. He
knows the listed information, in order.
1. I know the task which Serval will ask you
to perform if you join his sect. He will demand
that to prove your intentions, you steal from
the temple of Kelanen one of the blessed
swords. Few have been asked to do this. All
have died at the hands of the statue without
having ever gotten so close as to touch one of
the swords.
2. The statue of the temple of Kelanen is
alive. It is pointless to try to harm it with fire,
cold, or electricity as Kelanen made it such
that these do not affect it. It is rumored to be
the sole guardian of the swords.
3. The sect has a secret meeting place. It can
be found beneath the shed behind the Weary
Traveler. How access is gained I do not know.
4. I know where the Sword of the Dragon
can be found. A group of men arrived late in
the night at Serval’s meeting place carrying a
tightly wrapped bundle. A comrade of mine
saw the sword and told me of it. To the best of
my knowledge, at least four of the town’s best
thieves tried to go in after it last night. None
came out this morning.
