What the Company Knows
- Corrow is publicly known as an established and reputable broker in Daggerford. Shallie, who traded in the town for years, recognized him as such.
- He offered each of the five travellers the same work on the same terms: escort a covered supply wagon eastward and deliver its provisions to The Keep.
- He paid each of the five 5 gp in advance, with 15 gp each due on their return with the receipt proving delivery.
- When asked repeatedly why five adventurers were needed for an ordinary wagon, he explained that he had the money, wanted the goods protected, and wanted them to reach the Keep.
- The wagon he provided bears the mark of Elk, and the documents he issued carry Elk’s Seal.
Interactions
- Each of the five met Corrow separately in his offices and signed an Escort Contract. The contracts appeared alike in structure when the Company later compared them at the yard, though they were not read side by side. Corvex, who cannot read or write, pierced his flesh with a claw and signed his in blood.
- When Corrow asked Nadia what she would bring to the table, she answered with a flourish, a trick with her dagger, and let the action speak for itself.
- Karis accepted the contract and asked Corrow why five travellers were needed, one of the times that question was put to him.
- Shallie, who until recently operated commercially as an alchemist in Daggerford, knew of Corrow already. Corrow remarked that his patrons had been Shallie’s patrons as well.
- The Company has not spoken with Corrow since leaving his trade yard.
