19. MODEST COTTAGE

3 dogs guard this, the home of the
grizzled herdsman Black Jay, and his flock.
The herdsman does not like company or
strangers, and says so to any who come
onto his property.

This retired warrior is friendly with the
elves to the NW, but will not partake
of any adventuring. His house was raided,
and his wife && children slain, when he was
away in the wars. His possessions are few;
he has only his armor and weapons, a few
coins in his purse (20 cp, 19 sp, 8 ep, 11 gp,
and 4 pp), an old jar in his cupboard, and a
few magic items—10 arrows +1, elven <low soft>
boots, and an elven cloak.
