Involvement

Act One

Barton and Mari have been trying to break into the crypt for days. Tense and alert, he is suspicious of threats. If opening the door Mari is trying to lockpick, he dismisses her concerns with half-hearted reasoning. Barton is an experienced combatant, guiding Haseid and Mari in their search after they hear the roof collapse (if the masonry stone has been dropped by the party) as well as rallying the group if he hears another member call for help. He is frustrated by the group's minimal progress, and informs them he has previously gone home empty handed. He also mentions that the last time he was in a crypt, he was attacked by skeletons.

Barton can be found in the Refectory and is instantly hostile to the party.
