Faril

Cashguard Captain Faril is the captain of the Counting House's Cashguard.

Involvement

Faril can be found guarding the door to the lower levels of the Counting House in the Lower City. She will ask for a Vault Pass, and the party can either obtain one from Head Clerk Meadhoney and present it or attempt to bribe Faril to access the vaults:

• [PERSUASION] All that gold you guard, and you never get a taste of it yourself? Seems unfair. (5000) (DC 18)
• [DECEPTION] You've had stranger visitors than me today. I won't be noticed, and you can make a tidy profit. (DC 18) (if spoken to Meadhoney and learned about the cultists)
• [DECEPTION] My pass was stolen. Truly. This is all the coin I have left. (5000) (DC 20)
• [INTIMIDATION] You can make some gold, or die guarding someone else's. Choose. (1000) (DC 30)

Idle banter

Forstum will ocassionally chat with Faril:

Cashguard Basher Forstum: Glitterbeard was in a mood just now.

• Cashguard Captain Faril: A mood? Mate, he was nervous.
  • Cashguard Basher Forstum: What for? The big bald fellow he was escorting?
    • Cashguard Captain Faril: With the half-elf, aye. New clients, maybe? Either way, Glitterbeard was fit to fill his trousers.
      • Cashguard Basher Forstum: Heh. Just as well he's going down to special deposits.
        • Cashguard Captain Faril: All right. Calm down.

Cashguard Basher Forstum: Agh.

• Cashguard Captain Faril: What's wrong with you now?
  • Cashguard Basher Forstum: Shoulder. Glitterbeard kept checking this one chest in the vault, over and over - nearly dropped a door on me. Mustn't have seen me.
    • Cashguard Captain Faril: Or maybe he did.

Cashguard Basher Forstum: Mark the notice in the barracks, by the way. The anti-magic whatsit is banjaxed.

• Cashguard Captain Faril: Aye, I heard. Word is the Gondian guild has downed tools and gone walkabouts.
  • Cashguard Basher Forstum: Striking, I bet. Lazy gits. Wish I could go on strike.
