Guard Captain's Office (Lakevale)

Adjacent to the surplus shop and the town jail, the Guard Captain's office is the official workspace of the Ember Sentinel Lieutenant assigned to Lakevale. Here they are able to process arrests, issue pardons, authorize equipment sales, and meet any suspicious or notable visitors immediately upon entry.

Lieutenant Tarba Novum
A grimly determined woman with ivory skin, gray eyes, and black hair who refuses to consider casualties unless absolutely necessary. Strict with rulings when on the job, but dispenses her own justice to criminals when on duty. A mother to her men who refuses to let them come to harm if she can avoid it, she is well-respected by her men for her blunt honesty and generosity with her time in the face of bureaucratic concerns.

Goods and Services

 * All items are sold in the Defense Supplies warehouse next door.
 * armor prices are inflated due to low supply and the diversion of labor: an armorer working to resize a set of armor is being diverted from other manufacture which directly benefits the Sentinels.
 * The limited selection of weaponry stems from the Sentinels' own specializations.

Encounters

 * 1) A hunter has captured a ghoul in a trap designed for owlbears, and instead of killing it has dragged the reinforced wooden cage into the office. The ghoul hisses at the party and attempts to claw anyone who gets too close to the bars. Novum is disgusted and intrigued, but has no clue what to do with the bizarre creature besides kill it. The hunter is demanding a reward, but there was no bounty on undead (for the safety of the civilians, the Ember Sentinels prefer them not to fight the undead unless necessary).
 * 2) A half-orc sailor, clearly drunk, is being dragged to jail until he can sober up. He claims that this is racial profiling, and will beg any obvious nonhumans in the party for help.
