Summary of Scene 1: 

So I was sitting at the bar and spent my last pennies on a beer. I needed to make some dough fast or i'd be sleeping on the streets. I run into some guys try to persuade me to rob some herbalist on his way home from work. Their leader, Savage Freedom, promises to pay well, but I get a bad feeling about these guys so tell them I'll think about it.

I end up talking to some other patrons and meet Esgreth Orn; an alluring carpenter who claims to be the son of god and wants to develop harmony. Clearly crazy as a bat. But he tells me his "temple" has been invaded and defiled by dark nights (thugs took over his house). We make an arrangement, I rid his house of the thugs, he gives me lodging in a small room upstairs. Sounds good. I ask him to show me where his house is. 


and the story continues from there.
