Warren Farscale

A patron of the Snapping Line Inn during the plot of Down Came a Blackbird - Part 2: A Night in Moon Lantern

This male dragonborn warlock puffs on a long tobacco pipe, occasionally blowing smoke rings. His face is covered in scratches from a recent bird attack. If approached by any of the characters, he can impart the following information:

• Warren’s keelboat was ambushed offshore two days ago by a swarm of seabirds.
• He was sailing close to what looked like a large mass of sargassum, with scores of gulls bobbing upon it. As he drew nearer, they launched their attack. Somehow, he made it back to Moon Lantern.
• The birds tore through his sails, so he’s been landlocked awaiting their repair.
• Since arriving in town, Warren has been down at the docks with his spyglass, monitoring the gulls. Their numbers are growing, but they seem less aggressive when the tide is out.
• Warren is sure he’s seen evidence of a whale out by the sargassum. He’s witnessed the occasional fountain of air which looks like spray from a whale’s blowhole. Unusually the spray has a reddish tinge.

Roleplaying Warren

Warren is a middle-aged and experienced, but what type of experience isn't exactly clear. He has dark green scales and fire orange eyes. He wears a dark brown cloak with holes in the hood to let his top horns stick out. His pipe is used as an occasional pointing aid when he’s making a serious statement, but mostly he converses with it in the corner of his mouth. He’s hardy, quick to laugh, and isn’t easily offended. Warren is vexed about his skirmish at sea and, as his sails will soon be mended, is keen and getting back out in his keelboat and welcome to have the company to investigate.

“It’ll take more than a litter of scrawny gulls to get the better of this mangy dragonkin.”

BEFRIENDING WARREN

Warren knows where the birds are mustering at sea, and has the experience to know how best to navigate the sargassum. If the characters would like his help, he wants to know a bit more about his potential company.

Warren explains that he sees bravery and trust as important aspects of any team and would like to know something interesting about each of the characters – either a daring deed they’ve performed or a secret they’ve never told anyone before. Each character in turn can say their piece, and if Warren is suitably impressed, he’ll offer to let them join. Even so, Warren’s boat won’t be ready until the following day.
