The Free Agents

A motley group of merchants, smugglers, thieves and citizens, The Free Agents of Stormreach care about their own interests as much, if not more, than they care about the welfare of their fellows. As a group without any real organization, they rely on the Stormreach Chronicle for news and information about goings-on in their fair city.

Baudry Cartamon	The Harbor	When you accept his quest, A Man Named Baudry Cartamon, he gives you a free Small Collectables Bag. You needn't complete, or even run his quest to keep the bag.
Karn Cold-Trail	The Foothold	Making use of any of the NPCs in The Foothold requires paying 1,000 pp to Karn Cold-Trail, but a good negotiation skill can reduce or eliminate this fee (you only need one of these options): Diplomacy 10+ reduces the fee to 500 pp (9 failed, 10 succeeded) Bluff 14+ reduces the fee to 200 pp (13 failed, 14 succeeded) Intimidate 19+ removes the fee entirely (17 failed, 19 succeeded) You need to pay this fee only once per life.

I'll keep an eye on this "hero" and let the god people of Stormreach know more details when I get'em. Capshaw the Crier, signing off!

Well, this one is certainly not afraid to mix it up now and then! News of this brave hero's exploits is making the rounds herein Stormreach and everyone from the Coin Lords to the rabble is starting to take notice. Mari Mosshand of the Harbor district was overheard to say, 'I remember when {name} came ashore with nary a clue or a copper to their name, just another {race} with grand ambitions. I'd like to think I'm in some small way responsible for their success.' As always, this is Capshaw the Crier, walking the Stormreach beat! (You've again improved your reputation with the Free Agents.

From the wilds of Sorrowdusk Island to the mountainous terrain of Tempest's Spine, no deed is too great for the hero of Xen'drik. One group of grateful citizens is starting a petition to rename a district in the city in honor of the brave {race}. We expect great things in the future from {name}, possibly even and exclusive interview with yours truly, Capshaw the Crier! (You've really made a name for yourself among the Free Agents.
