Burden of Envy
Handout: Guaril’s List
Flitch—Wouldn’t need my help if he was a better thief. Still, he’s Frallino’s nephew, so we can’t just leave him
hanging. If he’s smart, he’s laying low in his flat. Find it in Envy Row East, off the alley between Copper Street and
Loyalty Way. If he questions you, tell him that his uncle’s been asking about his slippers.
Themolin—This accountant’s got money—lots of it! Promised quite the haul for our services. Don’t let him leave
without it! Works for the Ministry of Tithes, auditing taxes or some such. Seems he found some innocent error involving
numbers and now lives in constant fear of being found out. His desperation is our gain. Don’t forget his payment.
Yuleg—Owns the Rockfish Inn. Nice guy. Just wants a better life for him and his daughter. Don’t accept fish for
payment, though.
Daffrid—Teaches at Arcanium Abjurant, or what’s left of it. Wants out of the city along with her spouse and two kids.
Longs to see what the world is like after five thousand years. World may have changed, but her gold hasn’t.
Garrla—Flitch brought me a note he found underneath an overturned flowerpot on his window sill, which read,
“Ready to join. Emerald Guardhouse. Ask for Garrla. Remaining half paid upon departure.” Sound risky? Sure. But, the
bag the note was tied to held a lot of coins.
They’re expecting to be dealing with Yours Truly, so they may need some assurances before closing the deal. Don’t
go messing up my reputation, you got that?

Adventure Summary
Working on behalf of both the unscrupulous Guaril Karela and the noble Valais Durant was unusual to say the least, but at least your
work has benefited a few of the unfortunate souls suffering in Belimarius’s cruel grasp. The Runelord of Envy may have been beyond
you this time around, but perhaps you’ll find a reason to return to Xin-Edasseril in the future.
Boons
□ □ Valais’s Assurance (General, Limited-Use) Valais Durant is the leader of the Radiant Oath, in no
small part because of her kindness and willingness to share her power with those in need. You may check
a box next to this boon and spend an action to use the champion focus spell lay on hands, heightened Starting XP
