Raios and Odric were wandering around the streets of Red Grass until they walked into a small workshop. There was a halfling in there, furiously drawing something on a wooden draft table.
"Greetings, I'm Raios and this is my friend Odric," Raios introduced.
"Filbert. Filbert Bracegirdle," replied the busy inventor, who didn't even look up from the table.
"We are adventurers, could we help you?" Odric offered.
The halfling finally put down their quill and looked up at the two of them.
"Maybe. Maybe you could. I'd be willing to offer you a discount on my wares."
"How can we help?" Odric asked.
"I once lived in Burbon, but fled quickly when the Greens arrived. I left all of my notes behind on processes and materials. I have been trying to recreate them but have been having some difficulty. I've been working now on a new design, a quick-loading crossbow, but without the rest of my notes I don't think I can finish it."
"So you want us to retrieve these notes?" Raios inquired.
"Yes."
The adventurers meet Filbert, a halfling with a lot of ideas and motivation. He’s arrived in Red Grass eager to return to inventing. Will he get his notes back? How is he going to help Odric and Raios in the future? Find out by reading The Forgotten Hero.
