'Yes, I am a warforged. My name is Morbus Mortem Apparatus - and please don't ask me to spell it. I'm not that good at writing. Who are you, my fellow man who stands in front of me?'

'My name is Aldern Foxglove, and I would be delighted if you would accompany me and my friends here back to Sandpoint! I have heard of Warforged, but never met one in person. What say you? Care to tag along?'

'I would love to. I like company. It gives me... happiness. Normally I don't have that much company - except for my lily, of course. My good man Aldern, who are you riding with and what are your plans? As long as it's not about killing innocent people, torturing children, threatening good men or burning down the home's of the poor - or the rich as also, I'm very interested.' He looks friendly at Jack Steele and says, 'Hello to you, too - I don't like to burn down entire villages either, nor do I like to burn down towns or large cities or castles and I definately don't like burn down bridges made of stone, or wood, or gold. The last thing I would like to burn down in this world would probably be...' he continues silently talking about things he wouldn't like to burn down not really noticing it himself.

'Splendid!' He signals, and one of his servants dismounts. 'Mount up! As for my friends here, why don't I let them introduce themselves?'

'Thank you, Aldern!' Morbus says in a greetingly tone. He mounts in screeching sounds from the wood and metal, also accidently forcing the horse to gather it's legs a bit more to endure the pressure under the heavy creature. Looking around at the people around him, Morbus waits for the fellows of Aldern to talk.

Jack is a bit taken aback.
"Y...yeah. Hi." He says with a raised eyebrow.

Shara finds the situation extremely funny.
"Hi there Morbus. I'm Shara"
She grins at the machine-looking thing.
Osmus refuses to say anything, he's hiding in her sleeve.

"Now this is unexpected." Shathys says to no one in particular.
"Well, Golem, you don't seem about to attack and kill us, so I presume that means we are friends, for the time being." Shathys makes a salute, proudly showing his trophy crow-feather.
Absent mindedly Shathys picks up a pine-cone and drawing back, flings it into the forest and it lands with a soft thud. Mishka follows, bounding happily after it, picking it up and returning the pine-cone but refusing to hand it over to Shathys, keeping it in her jaws and growling whenever he reaches for it, in the strange manner that dogs do.
Shathys sighs in resignation and pats Mishka on the head, who proceeds to plop herself down and gnaw on the pinecone.
"How did you find yourself here. Golem? I presume your tale is far more bizarre than even my own." Shathys says with a glint in his eye, Showing genuine interest in the new comer, however, he keeps his spiked chain close.

'I'm not a golem, I'm a warforged - golems I are like... well they're different. I think. To be honest I'm not completely sure whether I'm warforged or human. I was created from the magma of The Great Vulcanoes 250 years ago. A person I don't really know of enchanted me and gave me life. I didn't know pain, I didn't know pleasure, I just knew I was supposed to obey my captains orders. So I slaughtered a couple of hundred thousand people the next 249 years in the army of this person I don't really know anything of. I didn't ask questions - how could I? I was just an enchanted statue not meant to feel or ask for anything. However, in the long run emotions struck down upon me any way. I realised what I had done and what I was doing. I snapped, started an insane rampage against my captain and the army, and all of a sudden I lost consciousness. The next moment I found myself in a strange forrest. I had forgotten all the knowledge I acheived the last 249 years and the next six months I started a new life where I helped people instead of killing them - and I received this flower from a village as a thanks for taking out a couple of gang members. So, I decided I wanted some adventure and that's why I went to Sandpoint. However, I realised I needed fertilizer for the flower so I went out to this farm and helped a man who said, he had the best fertilizer in the region. I got the fertilizer and I'm off to go. Now I wanna get back to Sanpoint and help some people.
And by the way - humans aren't made of magma are they? I've always been taught that warforgeds don't have feelings, but I think I do. Well, I'm not sure I do, but I am awfully sorry for all the terrible things I did back then so I might actually be human. And that's a smart creature you've got there - it is a dog, isn't it? I think it will like my flower - it is the most loving plant in the world - perhaps except certain kinds of rocks. What is your name my good man?' Morbus says, holding out his flower for everyone to see before a draw is pushed out from his chest. He stores the flower in the draw which closes shortly afterwards in a little 'click'.

"We don't need your life story, thank you very much."
Jack leans in towards shathys and whispers: "Can we trust some magical construct that apparently murdered a lot of people? Who's to say he won't turn on us?"

'No I'm not, I swear', Morbus answers. 'I would just like some company and adventure. I heard something about goblins attacking Sandpoint. Do you have any information regarding the incident? I think we'll make a great team. Could you at least give me a chance in joining your party? I might not know much about the world, but I promise that before our adventure has ended, I shall be able to tell you how many leaves an average rock has. Oh wait, I think it's tables...? No! It's trees! Yes! How many leaves an average tree has on it.'

'Oh yes, a terrible business that,' Aldern says. 'Many dozens of goblins swarmed into the city, and had it not been for the swift action of these three adventurers, I'd probably be dead! But few people were harmed, as I understand it. The goblins were routed and driven out of the city before any serious damage could be done.' He turns to face Shathys, Jack and Shara. 'And of course you can join us! We'll head straight for The Rusty Dragon. Ameiko's cook can perform some of foodomancy on this boar.'
He starts trotting back to Sandpoint.

"Oh yay, more foodomancy" Shara says with a smile. Still totally and utterly entertained by the whole situation of her adventuring and the people she has met.
"I sure got a lot more than I asked for" she whispers to Osmus.

Shathys leans over to Jack, "If nothing else we can hollow him out and use him as luggage." Shathys chuckles and ponders for a bit, riding in silence, "Say, would anyone happen to have some of these tobacco leaves that I've heard of? Never had a chance to eat them myself." He says aloud.

After a quick inspection, it turns out nobody has any tobacco, and after another 20 minutes or so, you reach Sandpoint. You dismount at the Goblin Squash Stables. 'As a final gift,' Aldern says, 'I want you to keep the horses. You've certainly earned them! You too, of course, Morbus!'

"Why thank you Aldern, most kind." Jack says and strokes his horse's neck.
Jack unsaddles and looks at his companions. "I want the Father Zantus to take a look at the book we found in the demon's lair."
As an afterthought he says: "Aldern, could you perhaps mention some places of interest in this city?"

Aldern hands Jack a map and a small book titled "Sandpoint At A Glance", explaining that it was written only a few months earlier, and that he bought it from a bookshop in Magnimar. It reads as follows:
Sandpoint At a Glance
'I'll head back to The Rusty Dragon,' he says. 'And we'll meet up there tonight for some roast boar!'
Before he departs, he bows and kisses the back of Shara's hand. 'Until then,' he says.
Sandpoint At a Glance
- Spoiler:
- Most of the buildings in Sandpoint are made of wood, with stone foundations and wood shingle roofs. The majority are single-story structures, with a few noted exceptions. The town is often thought of as two districts by the locals. Uptown consists of areas 1–12. Most of these buildings are relatively new, and the streets are open and less crowded. This section of town is also physically above the rest, situated on a level bluff overlooking the southern half of town, which consists of areas 13–46. The majority of the town’s buildings can be found downtown, which grows increasingly crowded as available space is claimed by new arrivals. Downtown is built on a gentle slope that runs from a height of about 60 feet above sea level to the west down to only a few feet above the waterline to the east and south. Sandpoint Harbor is a fairly deep natural harbor, 30 feet for most of its expanse, with sharply rising slopes near the shore. The languid waters of the Turandarok River wind down from the hinterlands, skirting Devil’s Platter to empty into the harbor—the river is often used to transport lumber harvested far upriver down to the local saw mill.
South of town rises another bluff on which Sandpoint’s most affluent landowners have staked their claims. Only a few hundred feet north of town rises an upthrust spur of rocky land topped with a few trees—this is known now as Chopper’s Isle, once the home to Sandpoint’s most notorious criminal. A remote outcropping accessible only by flight or by a skilled climber, locals now believe the isle to be haunted by Chopper’s ghost. Children often dare each other to go out to the isle’s base at low tide and touch the barren cliff face that surrounds it, but no one’s visited the top in years.
The sight that strikes all visitors to Sandpoint at first is the ruinsof the Old Light. The original height of this tower is unknown, but those who have studied the ancient architecture of the crumbling remains estimate it might have stood more than 700 feet tall. Today, less than a quarter of that remains. The Old Light rises from sea level and is built into the face of a 120-foot-tall cliff, the tower extending another 50 feet above that level to culminate in ragged
ruins. The remaining shell is yet another reminder that neither the Chelaxians nor the Varisians are the first settlers of this land, yet apart from a few badly weathered carvings signifying that the peak of this tower once held a brilliant light, no insight to the tower’s true purpose remains.
1. Sandpoint Cathedral
Easily the largest building in Sandpoint, this impressive cathedral is also the town’s newest structure.
2. Sandpoint Boneyard
Set in the shadow of the Sandpoint Cathedral and accessible via a gate to the north or from several doors leading into the cathedral itself, this expansive cemetery overlooks the Turandarok River.
3. The White Deer
A pair of wooden life-sized deer, carved with painstaking care from white birch, stand astride the entrance to this sizable tavern and inn.
4. The Way North
As with several other buildings in the vicinity, this one-story structure was recently rebuilt after the Sandpoint Fire. Originally a stable, the building has been converted by its owner into a cramped and cluttered library to house his tremendous collection of maps and sea charts.
5. Jeweler
This squat stone building escaped the fire that ravaged northern Sandpoint, much to the relief of its owner, a jeweler named Maver Kesk.
6. Junker’s Edge
Garbage gathered by Gorvi’s boys (see area 7) is routinely dumped over the edge of this cliff to gather on the beach below. Several of the town’s citizens rankle at this practice, but until an equally cost-effective and convenient option is presented, the town council is reticent to change its ways. In any event, the sea generally makes short work of the junk, ensuring it never piles up too high.
7. Gorvi’s Shack
This dilapidated shack is home to one of Sandpoint’s few halforcs, a fat, heavily tattooed man named Gorvi. Despite the ramshackle look of his home, Gorvi’s made quite a pretty penny for himself serving as Sandpoint’s dungsweeper, enough that he employs about two dozen vagrants and curs, paying them regularly in copper to haul one of his distinctive red wheelbarrows through the streets to collect refuse and garbage.
8. Sage
The sole occupant of this ancient building is a cantankerous old man named Brodert Quink, a balding expert on history and engineering.
9. Locksmith
A dwarf named Volioker Briskalberd has owned and operated Sandpoint’s locksmith business since the town’s founding. Something of an institution, most of the town’s locks were built by Volioker.
10. Sandpoint Garrison
This stone fortress serves double duty as Sandpoint’s militia barracks and its jail. The jail itself is located in an underground wing, while the above-ground portion houses the town’s guard. Sandpoint’s town guard consists of a dozen full-time watchmen; about twice this many servants and other experts (smiths, cooks, bookkeepers, couriers, and the like) dwell here as well.
11. Sandpoint Town Hall
The majority of the ground floor of this two-story building consists of a meeting hall large enough to seat most of Sandpoint’s adults, although town meetings have rarely been even half so well attended. The upper floor contains offices and storerooms, while a vault in the basement below has been functioning as the town bank for decades.
12. Savah’s Armory
The northeast corner of this building bears a few scars from the Sandpoint Fire, but fortunately for its owner, Savah Bevaniky, the building escaped significant damage. Savah’s shop sells all manner of weapons and armor, including several masterwork items and exotic weapons.
13. Risa’s Place
Risa Magravi operated this tavern for the first 30 years of Sandpoint’s history, and even now that she’s gone mostly blind in her old age and has left the day-to-day affairs of the job to her three children, the mysterious sorceress remains a fixture of the tavern. Known as much for Risa’s tales of ancient legends and myths as for its spiced potatoes and cider, this tavern is a favorite of the locals if only becuase its out-of-the-way location ensures
strangers rarely come by.
14. Rovanky Tannery
Situated at the edge of town, Larz Rovanky runs Sandpoint’s tannery.
15. Red Dog Smithy
Named for its owner’s affection for large red mastiffs, two to three of which can always be seen lounging about nearby, Red Dog Smithy is owned by a bald and powerfully muscled man named Das Korvut. Das’s temper is, perhaps, his true claim to fame—he has little patience for customers, and even less for everyone else. Sandpoint suffers his foul-mouthed attitude and frequent drunken midnight rants because he really does know his job. And as long as he’s busy hammering metal, he stays relatively calm and confined to his smithy. The local children have recently been circulating a somewhat cruel rhyme about Das that they’ve taken to chanting at hopsquares.
“Here comes crazy-man Das Korvut,
Mad as a cut snake in a wagon rut.
See how his chops go bouncity-bounce?
How many people has he trounced?
One! Two! Three! Four...”
16. The Pillbug’s Pantry
Nestled at the base of a cliff and tucked between several old tenements, nothing but a painting of a pillbug perched on a mushroom indicates this building’s anything more than yet another home. The proprietor of this establishment is a man named Aliver “Pillbug” Podiker, an accomplished herbalist, and gardener.
17. Bottled Solutions
This cluttered shop is owned by the half-elf Nisk Tander, who sells bottles, bags, and other alchemical containers filled with potions or poisons.
18. Cracktooth’s Tavern
A particular favorite of patrons of the Sandpoint Theater, Cracktooth’s Tavern is always full after the latest show at the nearby playhouse lets out. A large stage gives actors, singers, and anyone else the opportunity to show their stuff.
19. House of Blue Stones
This long stone building is primarily a single large chamber, the floor decorated with polished blue stones set within winding pathways of reed mats. This structure was built 10 years after Sandpoint was founded by a wandering monk named Enderaki Sorn—today, the monastery is tended by Enderaki’s daughter, Sabyl. A worshiper of Ioun, the god of knowledge, Sabyl maintains a large collection of old books and scrolls in the basement chambers below.
20. Sandpoint Glassworks
One of the oldest industries in Sandpoint, the Glassworks has been owned by the Kaijitsu family from the town’s inception. The glassworking trade has been in the family for generations, and many of their techniques—perfected in distant Minkai—result in dazzling and impressive works that fetch top price among the nobles of Magnimar, Korvosa, and beyond.
21. Sandpoint Savories
The smells issuing from this bakery fight against the salty tang of the sea every morning except on Sunday. It has been owned and operated by the Avertin family for the past two decades.
22. The Curious Goblin
This bookshop is a testament to one man’s obsession with the printed word. Chask Haladan has maintained his love affair with books for nearly 70 years and shows no sign of giving it up any time soon. His store is surprisingly complete, and almost all of his wares are far too pricy for any of the locals to shop here with any frequency.
23. Sandpoint Theater
Brand-new cathedrals and ancient ruins aren’t the only incongruities Sandpoint boasts. This massive playhouse, financed entirely by owner, Cyrdak Drokkus, features one of the most impressive theaters on this side of Varisia—it certainly competes with the playhouses of Magnimar. The Sandpoint Theater often showcases local talent.
24. Carpenter’s Guild
The vast majority of the buildings in Sandpoint were erected by members of the town’s large and eternally-busy Carpenter’s Guild. It is currently being overseen by Guildmaster Aesrick Battlehorn.
25. Sandpoint Lumber Mill
This long building was one of the first to be built when Sandpoint was founded. It is owned by the industrious Scarnetti family.
26. General Store
Owned and operated by Ven Vinder and his familiy, Sandpoint’s oldest and best-stocked general store has a little bit of everything—farm equipment, weapons, tack, tools, furniture, food, and even homemade pies by Ven’s wife Solsta.
27. Turandarok Academy
As families thronged to Sandpoint, the town founders quickly came to realize that they needed somewhere to handle the education of children, a place to house unfortunate orphans, and somewhere to busy older children to keep them from becoming delinquents. The answer was the Turandarok Academy. Part school, part orphanage, retired adventurer Ilsoari Gandethus volunteered to be the academy’s headmaster.
28. Madame Mvashti’s House
Although from outside this appears to be an ancient, decrepit manor house with several rooms, only one person lives in this old building—ancient and mysterious Niska Mvashti. Old even when Sandpoint was founded some 40 years ago, Madame Mvashti (as she prefers to be called) is a historian and seer, part of a long tradition of oracles in her family. She performs readings with cards or carved bones.
29. Grocer’s Hall
This building’s facade is open to the air where it faces the market. During the day, bins and trays and tables here are heaped with produce brought in that morning from the outlying farms. Near the back of the store are tools, seeds, feed, tack, and other supplies useful for farming. The other half of this building is filled with living quarters, meeting halls, file rooms, and storage.
30. Vernah’s Fine Clothing
Rynshinn Povalli has owned and operated this clothing shop for the last five years.
31. Wheen’s Wagons
A man named Bilivar Wheen, an elderly wheelwright, owns this workshop.
32. Scarnetti Mill
As with the Sandpoint Lumber Mill, this building is owned by the Scarnettis. All of the flower and grain produced here is supplied by local farmers.
33. The Hagfish
One of Sandpoint’s most popular taverns, especially among fishermen and gamblers, the Hagfish is also Sandpoint’s best bet for a good old-fashioned seafood meal.
34. Valdemar Fishmarket
Like the Grocer’s Guild across the market, the facade of this long building is open to the air. Here, locals can shop among the day’s catch, picking out cod, salmon, tuna, shellfish, and even the odd octopus for the evening’s meal.
35. Sandpoint Market
On most days, Sandpoint’s marketplace is empty save for the odd group of children who enjoy using the wide-open area to play whistleball or other games. Twice a week, the market fills with vendors. At the start of each week, the farmer’s market radically increases the daily selection of goods available at the Grocer’s Hall, while all day at the end of the week merchants from Magnimar, Galduria, Nybor, Wartle, and beyond take part in the Town Market.
36. Sandpoint Meat Market
Local butcher Chod Bevuk runs the Sandpoint Meat Market. Half of this building doubles as a slaughterhouse, with the meat itself put on display for sale in the front half of the market. Most of the meat processed here is from livestock or animals caught by hunters.
37. The Rusty Dragon
This large structure is Sandpoint’s oldest inn, notable for the impressive (and quite rusty) iron dragon that looms on the building’s roof, doubling as a lightning rod and decoration. Owned and operated for the past six years by the lovely and popular Ameiko Kaijitsu, the Rusty Dragon is not only one of the town’s most popular eateries (made so, in large part, by the spicy and exotic food served here), but also a great place to meet visitors from out of town, since most newcomers to Sandpoint come upon this inn first, the north Lost Coast Road being less traveled.
38. Goblin Squash Stables
The sign above this door perpetuates one of the greatest fears of the lowly goblin—being trampled underfoot by a horse. Tended by a retired hunter named Daviren Hosk Daviren’s hatred of goblins is nearly legendary in Sandpoint.
39. Two Knight Brewery
While Sandpoint’s taverns serve a wide variety of spirits, they all proudly serve the mead, ale, and rum brewed here at the Two Knight Brewery. Established almost 40 years ago by two brothers only a few years after Sandpoint was founded, their expertise at brewing has only increased over the years.
40. Sandpoint Mercantile League
This large building serves many purposes. One can book passage on a ship bound for other ports, arrange for caravans or carriages for overland travel, or send messages to folk in town or as far away as Korvosa or even Riddleport. Inquiries into land ownership, building construction, and founding new businesses, both in Sandpoint proper and in the surrounding hinterlands, must begin their processes of official foundation here.
41. Sandpoint Boutique
This large boutique and shop sells all manner of clothing, weapons, toys, artwork, books, and tools imported from throughout the world. The place is owned by Hayliss Korvaski.
42. Fatman’s Feedbag
If the Hagfish is Sandpoint’s most popular tavern, Fatman’s Feedbag is its most notorious. Bar fights are common, and Sheriff Hemlock typically has to come down here two or three times a week to sort them out when they grow particularly violent or loud.
43. The Pixie’s Kitten
Many of Sandpoint’s crasser locals have a much more colorful name for this establishment, but Kaye Tesarani runs the town brothel with class and distinguished grace. She pays her girls and boys quite well, and the three bouncers she employs are more than enough to handle troublemakers.
44. The Feathered Serpent
The sole proprietor of this cramped and cluttered shop is Vorvashali Voon. Not everything in his shop is for sale, rendering it part museum in its eclectic collection of strange relics, statues, and monument fragments.
45. Hannah’s
While Abstalar Zantus (area 1) does his best to take care of Sandpoint’s truly sick and needy, he can’t help everyone. For minor aches, pains, and illnesses, most of Sandpoint’s citizens depend on Hannah Velerin. In her shop and home she sells medicines and receive patients.
46. Sandpoint Shipyard
The southern facade of this long building is open to Sandpoint Harbor, allowing its small army of shipwrights, ropemakers, and sailmakers to work their trade in one of four drydocks right on the shore. The shipyard is owned by the Valdemars, with Belven Valdemar overseeing the constant work there.
47. Valdemar Manor
This manor house commands a breathtaking view of the town of Sandpoint and the harbor below, as befits the family most connected to the town’s shipbuilding and fishing industries.
48. Scarnetti Manor
The Scarnetti family controls Sandpoint’s mills and the lumber industry.
49. Kaijitsu Manor
This manor is the smallest of the four noble houses overlooking Sandpoint, yet the Kaijitsus are perhaps the richest family in town. Lonjiku Kaijitsu has carried on his father’s proud work as glassmaker, and the Sandpoint Glassworks is perhaps the town’s most prosperous business, with its products
regularly shipped as far as Korvosa.
50. Deverin Manor
Living within the largest manor, the Deverins have traditionally held the role of “leader” in Sandpoint. Old Amos Deverin served as the town’s mayor for its first 23 years, and his son Fenchus served for the next 11. Both Deverins perished to unfortunate accidents, leaving Amos’s youngest daughter as the heir to the family fortune and a likely candidate for mayor. Kendra Deverin didn’t initially want the job, but after she was nominated for the role, she won the election by a landslide.
'I'll head back to The Rusty Dragon,' he says. 'And we'll meet up there tonight for some roast boar!'
Before he departs, he bows and kisses the back of Shara's hand. 'Until then,' he says.

"That man is SO nice!" Shara says to the others. Her eyes are at the time a very light reddish colour, easily compared to her blushing cheeks.

Jack raises an eyebrow. "Don't get too attached. Can't trust him." he opens his notebook and scribbles a few names down.
"But this map changes things a bit, I have a feeling Madame Mvashti or Brodert Quink might know more about Pazuzu."

"I say we visit one then return to the rusty dragon for the night." Shathys says shortly.

"The sun is at its highest, let's see how long it'll take and decide from there. Let's go for Brodert Quink, I don't have the patience for 'seers' right now." Jack says.

"You mean a powerful warlock is here in Sandpoint?" Shathys says incredulously.
