Herr Ambrosius Koch (M, ace, though nobody's ever asked about his private life!) - Clockmaker, gunsmith and clever old bastard. He's found hanging out and tinkering with inventions, and seems to enjoy the peace and quiet of Delemont - though for larger projects he still needs ot use his workshop in Piedamonte. Herr Koch is taking Laura on as an apprentice. Ambrosius will need more assistants if he's going to produce more than the occasional masterwork for Yuri. Latest masterwork: revolver attachment for Yiuri's firearm, 4 shots per pistol.

Lorenzino di Credenza. Inventor and refugee from House Pontevecchio. Amazing moustache, curious mind. Recently worked with Marguerite to power up Francois into an enormous plant golem. He's itching to be put to work on something new - something GRAND. As long as it isn't a siege engine.

Thierry the Tavern - innkeeping and militia, working on fortifying Delemont (has budget). Managed to get on the Mountain-Father's good side but robably owes the mountain a favour.

Thierry the Hermit (M), middle aged goat herder, formerly from the Hot Lands (Ereb). Keeps watch over the forest and comings and goings.

Gopnik and other dwarf buddies: Various refugees.

Three large woolly sheepdogs - Bobo, Kiki and Ubu

The Friends
Fey equivalents of most of the party members. Each resident in Las Crias develops its own Lar - if the person is a goblin/elf - or Tomte - if the person is a human. On some level, the host has to believe in or accept the fey presence to generate a Friend.

Tomtes have nut-brown skin, curly dark hair and bright blue eyes; reminiscent of Lilybet, but smaller at 2ft tall. Lares are freckled and mottled with bright red hair and green eyes. They have the large hands, big noses and prominent eyebrows of goblins, and they are even tinier than the Tomtes.

Each person manifests a spirit that reflects that adventurer's identity and inner desires a little bit. They decline names (and you shouldn't name a fey anyway, it's rude). Each of the fey is wearing cast off clothing or rags that the character have discarded in the course of their lives.


 * Friend of Yiuri is broad, stocky, has tanned skin and a generous blonde beard. Yiuri's Friend is wearing his frilly christening robe from when he was a baby.
 * Friend of Roquette stands slightly taller than the other Tomtes and she has extra muscly arms. She wears discarded knickers and slips from various trysts
 * Friend of Elek has big fish-like eyes that glow like a blue flame, very pale skin and manifests a bit like the cute side of Smeagol. He is dressed in bandages and busted bits of leather belt.

Maistre Athos D'Arcourt (esquire), son of Sieu Jimy D'Arcourt (big landowner, current Papa of Cartel Cachot). Pale, scholarly, in his early 20s. Athos likes to match his blacks - and he seems far more interested in magic and travel than in farming.

Laris, the Goblin tailor from lo Marais - "clothes make the goblin!" - wants to dress the village goblins in nicer apparel.

Kyrill the Colossus, wanting to check on Roquette's form and make her do some punishing exercises.

Letters for the party
Santiago and Constanza, Knights Paladin of the Hueste di Ladinh, write to Roquette from down south in Paramo - Hueste scouts have discovered an interesting mineral in a lead mine. "We're calling it bismuth for now - maybe your dwarf buddy will know what to do with it". A small sample is enclosed: It is a brittle metal with a silvery-white color when freshly produced - like lead but not so toxic. Surface oxidation gives it an iridescent tinge in numerous colours. It also has a square crystalline structure and seems quite heat resistant compared with other metals. If you melt it, it contracts, then expands as it cools - really weird stuff. Any ningalu will identify this as being used for making Sea-Bronze, an alloy that's corrosion resistant and makes good knives and "shiny things".

Prospero, a Storm Reader (tempest/divination), wants to buy Elek as an informer. He's been fascinated by the party's antics ever since Cachou, and mostly wants dirt on Mam Itria and family. In return, he offers divination services and connections to help Delemont maintain its independence. Expect Prospero to gently nudge Elek about his earlier offer.

Maistre Etienne Richard - Portmaster of lo Marais - will write to Yiuri. He's clearly desperate for gossip about the recent trip to the Heath, as well as the Kobold visitors / privateers, and wants in on any shipping trade action.
