Messa Barristar
Messa is the young wife of Phelm Barristar the miller and baker at Fire and Grind - the windmill with attached bakery. When Morthos first entered the bakery, he noticed that Messa seemed upset, her eyes red and puffy from crying. Morthos barely had a chance to say hello before Phelm walked into the bakery with three children - two twin boys about 6 years old and a younger 3 year old girl. He had shooed his wife and children into their home so he could deal with the "customer".
Messa came into the Bakery when the party (specifically Drex, Cormir and Mogadon) were sleeping there overnight to "guard the place" for Phelm. She seemed desperately unhappy with her life, an the group could see that she had bruises on her wrist - seems that her husband is a bit of a bastard on the quiet. She came to listen to the party's stories to escape from her life for a bit. Mogadon gave her some comfort, and advised her to speak to Isperil Lightwind in the morning.
