Npc ideas, plot hooks and quest givers

Post by edised »

This is for npcs that can add quest hooks and side quests as well as flavor. Feel free to add your own.

Sardoe is a traveling salesman, a flamboyant and theatrical man, he sells the mystical and amazing with the flare of a carnival barker. He is charming but hard to take seriously. He likes to tell amazing tales of his wares, it seems everything has a history. He can be vary determined to make a sale, lowering prices sometimes absurdly.
He travels in five colorful wagon (like vistani wagons) three for his stock of magic items, the others are living space. He travels with two companions. And he travels fearlessly to domains.
Sardoe is a a complex person, once he was a thief and conman, set to be executed he realized what a waste his life was. He made so many bad choices and hurt so many people. He prayed for a second chance, and something answered. A deal was struck, he got a new life, a clean slate, he must sell the trinkets and treasures he gets.
Sardoe believes he is a fraud, lying and making up stores of his wares to get a sale, that he is peddling arcane novelty and second hand junk, that he has become a conman again.
The truth is he is selling very powerful magic items, very cursed dangerous powerful magic items. Not that he knows that, he is immune to there magic, and has no idea of the trouble he unleashed. His two traveling companions and employees are more sinister than him.
Armon is a efreet scribe bound to a brass bottle Sardoe freed him but does not know his true nature, Sardoe still possesses the brass bottle so he commands armon. Armon finds this tolerable for Sardoe treats him as an employee not a slave.
