Gretchen Higgins

Gretchen Higgins is the sheriff of the town of Nova, and a member of the Astaran Order. She is a mentor to Warren Cadhill and provides most of the law and order in their small town. She is cleric of Astara as well as a blacksmith.

The party spoke with her after hearing rumors of witchcraft in Nova at the beginning of the game. She told them about the mysterious deaths of some townsfolk and rumors about the Cadhill family. She has been stationed in Nova for some time, and also remembered a few details of the town's past involvement with hags. The information she and Warren Cadhill provided lead the party to their pursuit of Rotten Roslynn and Shiloh Cadhill.

When the party returned to Nova after rescuing Shiloh, they helped her fight off a pack of gnolls that attacked the town, but after Jericho Cross and Ellen Hershel arrived in town looking for Emmett and Clay, the party bailed out of Nova.

Appearance and Personality
Gretchen is an older human woman with silver hair in a braid. She often wears a blacksmith's apron. Despite her advancing age, Gretchen is still physically strong due to her blacksmith work.

Her personality was largely very reasonable, being willing to work with the party to solve the mysteries in Nova. She is still loyal to the Order though, and provided information about the party's wanted members to Jericho Cross and Ellen Hershel after it became apparent that Emmett and Clay were Order deserters.
