More NPCs


 

Additional NPCs to cause problems for players:

Henri Loojik – Mountebank, Fixer and last resort of the desperate adventurer. He exists for the moment that the players' realize he is Conman Loojik. 

The Brothers - Four brothers. Sellers of acquired goods. Each has tribal scarring across their mouths, indicating their origin is the great southern swamps. All speak in the rough husky voice of those who daily smoke the black lotus. They are the four hoarse men of the pocked lips. 

Jento - A scrawny flea ridden wizard. He wants to cast one of the great forbidden summoning spells and is attempting to turn the muddy streets of his city into a giant summoning circle. The wizard steals wagons and inscribes magic symbols on the flat steel tire of the wheels. The wagons leave a mystical pattern on the ground as they travel through out the city. Shadow creatures slowly start to leak through…

Rosswell and Kern - A pair of hulking brutes, who specialize in recovering valuable items for their clients. They can only be found working in the largest of cities, never in dungeons or the countryside.

While Rosswell and Kern pretend to be street hardened thieves, they are in fact two 4th level magic users. Their 100% ability to climb any wall, open any lock and never be seen, has made them very valuable to those who can afford their fees. If the players have absconded with a magical object, Rosswell and Kern may well be sent after them.

Their spells included Spider Climb, Unseen Servant, Locate Object, Knock, Invisibility and Sleep.
