Ostrand
Ostrand
Ostrand is the bridge-keeper of Boareskyr Bridge. For twenty years he has manned the bridge station, keeping the books on everything that crosses the bridge north and south and everything that moves east and west on the Winding Water — a copper a head to cross, two after dark.
Session 54
Ostrand had a bad day in Session 54: two Yuan-ti infiltrators killed in his street, an anathema out of his river ("I've been here at this bridge for 20 years… we've never had anything as bad as the anathema show up"), and a party of strangers who kept attacking hooded pilgrims and then explaining themselves very badly (Shade: "I attack first and ask questions later"). He rallied: with the party's help promised — The Anvil inbound, Carl staying — he undertook to talk the crossing's privacy-loving traffic into keeping hoods down until the protection arrived, and he broke up the standoff between the party and the Cult of the Dragon "travelers" before steel was drawn.
He rates himself and Otho as the two people who know the crossing's history best.
The Harpers' assessment of him, for the record of those weighing him as a contact: best-placed man at the bridge — and a man who takes copper from everyone (Harper Dispatch: A Source at the Bridge).
