Aftermath of some of the Yeti breaking into town.
A man, Rierdon the apothecary, wants us to help him retrieve a debt from Slim for protection money for half its value, plus discounts in his wares. Guard says a barbarian, tribe of the Elk, recently entered town and they must be related to the Yeti attack; currently tied up by the guard. A Dwarf wants to travel go to find some Black Ice that was discovered.
We approach the barbarian, who is being ill treated by the towns folk. Hengar Aesnvaard, his people are also being attacked by the Snow Witch. Alcott was a shop owner that blamed him for theft to get him locked up. His tribe is located North a few days past the end of the ten towns.
We track down Alcott, a textile merchant, who is the accuser of the barbarian. It is her lockbox that went missing, and she believes it was a large fair skinned man who did it. Funny enough, Slim also fits this build. We head to the Northlook to follow up on, now two threads that point to Slim. We go upstairs to meet him, and he decides to attack us, as we witness him post-murder. Slim takes a beating and bails out the window before we can deal with him. So we need to fight his minions.
Slim might be able to shapeshift into a rat, as the only thing we find is rat tracks leaving the area. A note is found on the dead body, "Aarun: Problems have arisen. Please meet me at the Northlook to discuss. ~ Mithann".
