We are open sun up until sun down!
The proprietor of Barthen's Provisions is Elmina Barthen, a young human woman with a kindly manner. She employs a couple of clerks, Ander and Thistle, who help load and unload wagons, and who wait on customers when Elmina isn’t around.
Elmina pays each member of the party 10 gp if they successfully complete the Meet Me in Phandalin quest.
Elmina also mentions that two more Rockseeker brothers, Nundro and Tharden, are camped somewhere outside town. Elmina hasn’t seen them in a tenday and expects the brothers to return “any day now” to resupply. What Elmina doesn’t know is that Tharden is dead and Nundro is a prisoner in the mine.
If the characters ask Elmina for news of the town, the shopkeeper reluctantly admits that the Redbrands are making it hard on everyone, shaking down local businesses and flouting the townmaster’s authority. She knows that the Redbrands frequent the Sleeping Giant tap house.
