Abilities / Actions

Shop stock in combat

If forced into a fight, Garlen or his staff may use items from The Helm at Highsun stock or behind the bar:

• Cudgel — stout clubs kept behind the bar for drunken brawls.
• Tankard or bottle — improvised melee or thrown weapon.
• Hot meal or drink — improvised (the Helm is rowdy; staff break up fights regularly).

What the party knows

• Garlen is the keeper of the Helm — the person in charge when the party arrived.
• He told the party that Waelvur's Wagonworks was having trouble: Ilmeth Waelvur had been missing and the shop was in a bad way.
• That tip helped send the party toward the missing-wagonmaker mystery.
• The party returned after Feathergale Spire and told locals at the Helm they'd dealt with the wind cultists.

Shop & services

Garlen runs the Helm's taproom — Red Larch's rowdy social hub.

Drinks & ale	Standard tavern fare; a gift of a drink loosens most tongues for gossip.
Hearty meals	Simple, filling food — currently among the best meals travelers can easily buy in town. Not refined dining.
Rumors & gossip	Staff don't gossip themselves but point curious patrons toward regulars who might talk.

In play

01	Met at the Helm; pointed the party at the Wagonworks / Ilmeth situation.
03	Party returned for more rumors; cult activity came up.
04	Party boasted at the Helm that they'd cleared the wind cultists at Feathergale.
