Your hometown is a dump. There are some interactions around town, but your eventual goal is to rest in your bed. Make sure you check out the letter on your desk, (from Robin). Then visit the cathedral. You’ll find a full set of guard armor here. (Bronze sword, leather armor, leather helmet). Talk to everyone here, and make a habit of doing that as you go along. When you return to an area, it’s a good idea to talk to everyone again just to see if anything changed. There are a great deal of seemingly pointless conversations that actually advance later plots or speed up the time it takes you to accomplish tasks. You’ll pick up your 2nd “Scott” here and head off to the bounty hunter camp.
