Silas

Proprietor of the Cupped Axe, the only remaining tavern in Waymoot. Recognized the party as fugitives from Splinter's Bend on sight and offered to turn them in for 500 gold. Cousin of Constable Barnaby Plum; son of Vance, who runs Splinter's Bend. Rumored to be dumping slaughterhouse waste in the logging trench to sabotage Foreman Kaelin so he can buy the logging rights cheaply. Has previously driven three other taverns out of Waymoot by cutting off their supply lines. Has thugs on his payroll. Lost a dice game to Skrit. Sells turnip mash at 1 gold per bowl (market rate ~5 copper).

Session 03: Proprietor of the Cupped Axe, the only remaining tavern in Waymoot after he drove out three competitors by cutting their supply lines. Recognized the party as fugitives from Splinter's Bend and quoted a 500-gold bounty to Sanji's face. Revealed to be Constable Barnaby Plum's cousin and the son of Vance, who rules Splinter's Bend — extending the family network into Waymoot. Sells turnip mash at grossly inflated prices (1 gp per bowl vs. ~5 cp market rate). Lost a dice game to Skrit; Sanji and Skrit were subsequently ejected from the tavern. Rumored among loggers to be deliberately dumping slaughterhouse waste in the logging trench to sabotage Foreman Kaelin and buy the logging rights cheaply. Has thugs on payroll. Role updated to enemy.

Session 04: Publicly heckled the party during their service, calling Skrit 'scale skin' and claiming the ankheg meat was a health hazard. Warned the party he had 'people coming.' Observed by Sanji passing a small wooden box to a rider who slipped out a side gate. A ledger found in his locked desk at the Cupped Axe confirmed he has been making regular payments to Constable Barnaby Plum to keep competing supply caravans out of Waymoot. Three bottles labeled 'Splinter's Bend Reserve' were also found in his desk. At session end, revealed he had planted fake culinary auditors (his men in disguise) on the logging road — they dropped their disguises and leveled spears at the Greasy Spoon.
