Everdred runs Burglin Park, the open-air market in Twson. It’s suggested that he’s something of a mobster, and NPCs explicitly state that he’s tied to kidnappings and burglaries, and not someone to mess with.<\/p>\n

When you tread deeply into Burglin Park, Everdred jumps off the roof of his own house and challenges you to a fight. His actions in combat include stealing consumable goods from you, knitting his brow, and biting you.<\/p>\n

Once Everdred finds out how tough you are, he tells you about Paula<\/a>‘s whereabouts. Evidently, in the Japanese version of the game<\/a>, he lets on that he owns the cabin that Paula is being held in. Everdred rents out a cabin in the wilderness to people without scruples.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear precisely why he informs you about Paula’s location – and he also suggests that he heard you were looking for her<\/i>. And he asks you to bring her back here when you find her<\/i>. Jesus, what does he want?<\/p>\n

When you do bring Paula back to Everdred, he is impressed, again suggesting he has informants about town.<\/p>\n

I heard that you’ve been pretty proud of yourself since you saved Paula’s
life… I was going to ask you to be my partner, but I know you’ll refuse. It’s
written all over your face. If you accepted, I was going to give you some
money. Actually, I can’t keep the money now anyway. Let me give this to you.
It’s 10,000 dollars. Use the money any way you like. You cannot refuse my
generosity. Just accept it.<\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ha ha! Okay. And then you receive an item called Wad of bills<\/b>. What do we do with this money? Hey, y’know who else wanted to see Paula? That band at the theatre: the Runaway Five!<\/p>\n
