In Delhaven, there is an Inn run by a retired mercenary. If you are a down-on-your-luck mercenary or men-at-arms, come to the public rooms and Hilda Brant, the owner, will give you a bowl of stew. If you want ale, hand over the coins. Hilda may give you floor space, but she expects you to pay in favors or coins. Hilda is also an untrained mage with an elemental, which is another reason she is retired. Most mercenary companies are wary of mages for good reason. When Lord Barton decides he wants the magic on Hilda's property, Hilda pulls together her resources, including her brother a mage and her sister a brothel Madame, to save her Inn. Hilda isn't prepared for the damage and chaos caused by a dragon, black mage, and elementals. And a very angry Lord Barton.
