Silas

Rogue · New Camp

"Good ... too good, actually, the lads drink so much schnapps we can barely keep up."

Schnapps at the camp

Silas runs the camp's drink trade and says demand is so high that his stock can barely keep up. He does not moralise about the amount being drunk; the men have nuggets and little else to spend them on. For the Hero, he remains a straightforward source of a drink rather than another keeper of the camp's hierarchy.

A simple trade

Silas does not present the drink as a cure for the camp's problems. It is a routine exchange for men with ore to spend and little else to occupy them, which makes his short conversation a small picture of life in the Old Camp.

What other NPCs say

Jacko, Jeremiah, Rayk, and the Rice Lord refer to Silas while the Hero is trying to locate a hidden stash or understand who controls access to it. Silas's suspicion is part of the obstacle: asking directly risks warning him, so his reputation shapes the method of investigation.
