== Summary ==

The party arrived in '''[[Red Larch]]''' and made '''[[The Helm at Highsun]]''' their first stop. '''[[Garlen Harlathurl]]''' (the tavern keeper) told them '''[[Waelvur's Wagonworks]]''' was in trouble — '''[[Ilmeth Waelvur]]''' had been missing. After the lockup, the party asked at '''[[Thelorn's Safe Journeys]]''' too; the Thelorns didn't know anything. They found Waelvur's messier but got directions to the hunting cabin. On the road, '''[[Togar]]''' calmed a wolf pack with magic.

== What happened ==

# The party reached Red Larch and went to the Helm at Highsun.
# '''[[Kiara]]''' tried to order drinks for the group but didn't have enough coin. '''[[Genericus Maximus]]''' paid — and made a remark about her being poor. (Kiara hasn't forgotten.)
# '''[[Garlen Harlathurl]]''', who runs the Helm, told them '''[[Waelvur's Wagonworks]]''' was having problems — wagonmaker '''Ilmeth Waelvur''' had been missing and the shop was struggling.
# The party visited the '''[[Red Larch Lockup]]''' and spoke with two prisoners: '''[[Jack Mack]]''' and '''[[William Theodore]]'''.
# The party went to '''[[Thelorn's Safe Journeys]]''', the other wagon shop in town, and talked with '''[[Thorsk Thelorn]]''' and '''[[Asdan Thelorn]]''' to see if they knew anything about Ilmeth. '''They didn't.'''
# The party thought Thelorn's was '''nicer''' than Waelvur's and wondered how '''two wagon shops''' could both stay in business so close together in a small town.
# At '''Waelvur's Wagonworks''', a shop assistant suggested Ilmeth might be at his '''old hunting cabin''' northwest of town.
# The party left Red Larch heading northwest. On the road they encountered a '''pack of wolves'''. Togar used druid magic to calm the animals rather than fight. The session ended on the road, still heading toward the cabin.

== Key moments ==

* '''Helm drink incident''' — Genericus covered Kiara's tab and insulted her; tension between them started here.
* '''Garlen's tip''' — first solid lead on Ilmeth / the wagonworks trouble.
* '''Two wagon shops''' — Thelorn's impressed the party; Waelvur's felt cheaper and messier; nobody understood how both survive in Red Larch.
* '''Wolves on the road''' — Togar chose a nonviolent approach with nature magic.
