The mode of transportation set, the next part of their adventure awaits as we meet two NPCs who are in the business of travel. A sailor who tames he seas and a land-based Merchant who battles he snow and ice. Who the party chooses to travel with doesn’t change the outcome but changes the experience, well mostly that is… So to meet these two NPCs let’s sit back with a coffee and roll into tonight’s update!
In the Business of Travel
338TuITBuOTr
Bonjon Quiverwick
The ship known as Little Nymph was run by a rather rotund and wealthy merchant names Samuel Redeye. Sam however had trusted Bonjon, Jon to many, to run his ship up and down the coast between the Platara lands of ice and cold to the more humid shores of the Tulkore jungle and the endless swamp beyond.
Despite always being on the sea Jon hasn’t found wealth about the ship but has found a freedom that he craves. Being born into a life of servitude he and his parents served a lord far inland. As chance would have it Tymora smiled upon him and granted a release from his bond when he and his parents were given to a travelling merchant to settle a debt. This turned out for the best as the merchant quickly freed them and gave them employment.
Although not married, Jon has been in a long relationship with someone else in the trade. But despite being monogamous neither appear to want to settle down and continue their relationship in brief periods of respite from both their travels.
Carmine Cliffrunner
As brash and rough as the ice fields that Carmine travels along she is as merciless as the frigid lands she makes an income from. The owner of a series of sleds that transports goods along the land, far from the coast and the rumoured pirates there, Carmine is known for getting goods safely to where they need to get to.
Carmine ensures safety by utilising large Oxen like beasts that are twice as large, nearly impervious to the cold and about as ferocious as a blizzard. But despite their hostile nature Carmine’s own nature seems to have kept the beasts in line and surprising loyal and protective of her. However, despite her best efforts they tend to be a bit ornery with those who choose to travel with the goods that she generally transports.
Carmine doesn’t talk much about her family or relationships but she has been hard to find periodically as she takes time away from transporting goods and people through the cold ice fields every few months.
Viktira Bronlock
A young lady that appears to be excessively wealthy Viktira seems to be in a hurry to leave. Whether its to escape something or get somewhere she doesn’t explain. However, she is open to the party after questioning them and learning about their exploits and adventures and she wants to know all about their travels. If they travel together she is a source of near-endless questions and requests for more information on their adventures and tales.
Thanks for joining me for a NPC night which feels a bit more familiar than the past few. Don’t forget to come back each day this week as we expand on this weeks adventure and to follow along with the story as it unfolds. And lastly, as always, don’t forget to roll with advantage,
