Session 2 — What the Antler hears

Rumor-work in Copperhollow. Mera Thistledown traded three rumors for one favor: the Hallorans carried something heavy in a lead-lined box, Sela Marsh still draws full pay for a sealed mine, and pale handprints keep appearing on the chapel's back wall — always at shoulder height, always eight of them. Captain Rhosyn Vale hired the party officially: find the caravan, town scrip, no heroics. Ottilie is now three rumors in debt.
