-| 💰 **The PCs offer a significant financial bribe or high-value trade deal (≥ 500 Kourou)** | Garrick’s gaze shifts between the currency and the doorway, weighing profit against risk. He casually covers the cash with a calloused hand. "Discretion goes both ways," he murmurs. "I won't give you a name or a map. But I can tell you there's a runner who handles his logistics in town. If my name crosses your lips when you track him down, you'll find out exactly how fast this valley turns freezing cold." | DC 14 CHA (Persuasion or Deception) check required to lock down the deal. __Success:__ Garrick pockets the bribe and establishes the Errand Runner Lead. __The Binding Penalty:__ If the PCs drop Garrick’s name during later scenes at the [[morningstar_food_market|Food Market]], Garrick immediately discovers the leak. Hale & Hook becomes permanently hostile ground, their lodging at [[saws_end|Saw’s End]] is instantly revoked by Orin Hale, and a contract is raised against the party. |

 | 🕵️ **The PCs ask how to locate this newly mentioned Errand Runner** | Garrick leans back, keeping his voice beneath the dry whirr of the Cleaning Bot. He outlines the runner's routine. | __The Errand Runner Lead:__ Garrick reveals that the producer's hand comes into town roughly twice a week to run logs, gear, and field supplies. He explicitly points the party toward the active trade stalls of the Morningstar Food Market. |
 | 👤 **The PCs invest extra collateral or press for visual tracking markers** | Garrick pauses, demanding an extra push (an extra 50 Kourou or a successful follow-up check) before describing the target's physical appearance. | DC 13 WIS (Insight) or CHA (Persuasion) check. __Success (The Tracking Markers):__ He provides precise physical identifiers: The runner carries a prominent [[criminal_code_of_the_free_state_of_settlers|Mark of Shame]] scar under his right eye, a jagged slash from a violent frontier conviction. He has dark hair, carries himself like someone people deliberately avoid, and consistently wears an old Earth-style cowboy hat reinforced with coarse native fur. |
