A notice tacked up to the door of Norsemen's Rest: “Lars Troll-Killer is accepting donations to defray the expenses of transporting the timber to build a dock in the harbor. Donations should be presented in person inside.”
Lars Troll-Killer will build the dock regardless. He’s just trying to see who is a sniveling suck-up, and find out who has excess coin so that the Axes Of Odin can keep an eye on them.
