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. |
