Leo - Visiting Quarry Pub

Ah Quarry Town, such a quaint place, excellent for unwinding after a long journey. I always visit the White Rock Pub at sunset. Workers from the Quarry, traders, and a few farmers and ranchers flow into the pub at the end of the workday. It becomes a boisterous place and ale flows freely.

The workers come to unwind from their day. They joke, laugh, drink, get a bit rough with each other but everybody is a friend. I’d say everybody in town passes through the pub except for one: Rocky. He owns the largest farm in town. From what I gather his family was fortunate to settle on extremely fertile soil. It grows the best crops in the entire region. Rocky inherited the land and has made a fortune establishing an agriculture trade at the pavilion. He also sells to the townspeople but not many buy from him. The folks at the pub do not care much for Rocky and, therefore, won't buy from him. He’s the only wealthy person in town.

Occasionally some of Rocky's workers come into the pub. They're not liked very much either because they're not from Quarry. Rocky hires workers from outer villages. But when they do get a word in, the workers often complain about the way Rocky runs things. Nobody seems to like the guy but they all wish they enjoyed the same comforts he does.

Anyways, Quarry’s pub is by far the liveliest one I’ve ever been to. It’s also a great place to learn about the local monsters and hunters. Deadlings and Banshees are the usual vermin here. Banshees are fliers that mostly go after crops, livestock, and left out food. They're mostly a nuisance to farmers. I haven’t a clue what a Deadling is.

The main hunters in Quarry are Clyde, Smythe, Grimey, and Scully. Scully is the newest and youngest hunter. Grimey sounds like he’s the most skilled but likes to stay in town. In fact, I'm not sure if he's ever been outside of Quarry. Clyde and Smythe are no slouches in the hunt and will take an occasional job outside of Quarry. Scully doesn’t hunt outside of Quarry because he’s the still learning the skills.

Kane and I are looking to form a hunting party and we've stopped at Quarry to recruit. I want Grimey to join us. Kane thinks we should recruit Clyde because he’ll be more inclined to travel with us. But if Grimey is as good as I suspect, he will be a valuable asset.
