The group elects to stay the night in Red Larch for the night in order to fully rest and recover before setting out to deliver components to Helmaer in Westbridge, all while keeping an eye out and inquiring about Jane.
Seeking food, the group moves across the Long Road from the Swinging Sword and heads to the Helm at Highsun, a ramshackle two-story tavern with the tavern’s name clearly printed in large, simple letters on both sides of a jutting wooden sign. Atop the sign is a rusting, oversized adornment: a warrior’s bucket helm with two eye slits. Inside the tavern is a large, dimly lit, wood-paneled taproom where rusty metal grills cover small, dirty windows. An open-tread wooden staircase climbs to the upper floor, which is just as dim and darkly paneled as the taproom. Across the back of the taproom is a long bar with three copper candle-lanterns hanging over it, and a set of stairs which presumably leading down to a cellar. Roughly a dozen locals are seated throughout; there to relax, gossip, flirt, and share “war stories” of their working days. And, of course, to get drunk. The locals offer you a friendly nod, but don't engage you in conversation unless you seek it out.
The proprietor of the Helm, Garlen, runs a tight shift, and his staff is prompt and courteous:

- Ulmug.jpg (48.17 KiB) Viewed 1317 times
While it is quiet this night, Samdarag volunteers that the Helm can get rowdy from time to time, but the staff is ready for ordinary drunken fisticuffs. Behind the bar are three well-used cudgels, and an old cloak used as an improvised stretcher to lug drunks outside. You suspect Ulmug may over-serve on purpose, to entice drunken behavior, so he can apply some brute force.
After an uneventful night, the group returns to sleep back at the Swinging Sword.
