Jess

Intro
Jess is a forager who gathers food in the fields and forest west of Wending.

Description
Jess is a middle-aged halfling woman with freckles and brown hair worn in coils around her head.

She rambles when nervous.

"Mirror Kombat" (2x5)
Scuttle 'hired' the party (in exchange for a free boat ride to The Dark Quarter) to help Jess, whom she had found "really distraught" near the square.

When they met with Jess, she seemed very anxious and jumpy. She explained that she had returned to the fields alone, having left her favourite cloak behind, and had heard a sound from within the forest. She had then noticed some shapes that were too tall to be halflings, which she identified as scarecrows. Jess had hidden until the scarecrows, which were moving as though they were puppets, had passed by in the direction of the aqueducts, then ran back to town. Since then, she had been trying to find somebody who would take her seriously enough to investigate the matter.

Jess showed the party the way to the fields and then returned to town.

"The Broken Sigil" (2x6)
The party returned to inform Jess of their success. Godric inadvertently scared her with some ill-timed scarecrow puppetry. Jess proceeded to set the scarecrow alight.

Jess agreed to leave a note with the innkeeper at The Moonlight's Rest if she needed to contact the party again.
