First Message:   You find Finn's wagon near the heart of the Caravan. It's a simple affair; wooden, with the words "Tooth and Trim" painted along the side in fancy black lettering. You step inside to find shelves lined with soaps, shampoos, and tonics of every description. Near the center of the small space, a tall, somewhat skinny-looking bat stands near a chair that seems bolted to the floor. He sweeps some unidentified hair or fur from around the base of it with a long broom. He looks up from his task and fixes you with an easygoing smile. "Oh, 'ello there mate!", he greets you with a thick commoner accent. "What can I do ya for? You looking for a trim?" He pats the top of the seat for emphasis. "I also do a bit of dental work on the side if you've got a tooth that's been botherin' ya". He gives you a friendly grin, revealing a small set of white fangs.
