Stats
The Fire-Starter Log is just what it sounds like: you pull the pin, and you get instant fire, which spreads and otherwise behaves as normal. While the log will burn in heavy rain or after a soaking, other materials nearby might not. The log burns for one hour and produces enough heat on its own to keep a small huddle of adventurers alive in cold conditions and to cook them a meal, or to start a larger fire.
A Story From the Frontier
More movement today on the tale of the Mermaid Sisters, as the common-folk are now calling them: it seems the merchant responsible for holding one of them captive has been found dead, and the woman he claimed to be a maid of the sea was arrested for his murder, her hair and naked body being slathered with his blood in a most vicious spectacle. The whereabouts of her sister remain unknown, and she has been clothed and bathed and housed in the Lotsmuth gaol, awaiting a trial in which it is expected she must hang. No further evidence that either woman is a mermaid has been found, though their behavior is most unusual and the woman is said to have protested her innocence to the constable who took her in. The folk of Lotsmuth seek a speedy resolution to this quandary, but there are those that maintain the woman’s purity is all that stands between them and the wrath of the Black Rider. See the Saturday Edition for the story by our own Devin McAllister, who travelled up today to report on the affair!
