"Oh hello, it's me the wood witch I've got plants in my bag" Hey friends! A few weeks ago I made a video where I shared three NPCs that you could
adopt or adapt for your own tabletop games Each one has a personality, a
look, a voice, and a quest hook My hope is that you can drop these
NPCs straight into your campaign for an easy side quest Or even use them as a starting point
for something a little better suited to whatever story you're already building In this video, I'm gonna
bring you more NPCs like that But with a little twist Because this video is sponsored by Wyrmwood to promote their elvish dice
vaults for Valentine's day And I know, they're pretty But they are so much cooler than that When you buy one of these vaults you
send Wyrmwood a message of your choice anything you want And they actually send it to a professional
linguist and Tolkien language scholar who then translates it into Quenya Elvish for Wyrmwood to engrave or inlay onto your vault Use the link in the description to order
your own vault before February 14th and you can use the code GINNYDI
for free domestic shipping or GINNYDINT for $10 off international shipping Now this may surprise you, it shouldn't But I love elves a lot So I have designed three new elf NPCs inspired by the three different wood and
inlay options that Wyrmwood is offering Since this is for Valentine's day I have tied all of their quest hooks
to love and romance in some way And I hope you like them! The Wood Elf is a cherry dice vault
with your message engraved on the top Morelia the wood witch lives in a quaint
vine covered cottage in the forest just outside of a small town She's well known there She serves the people of the town
with healing potions and poultices, divination charms, and other small magics You'll be sure to hear about her in town Many of the people there feel
strongly about Morelia these days They'll tell you in wistful
tones about how wonderful she is How kind, how beautiful If you come by her cottage You might find one of the town's people
gazing dreamily towards it as they wander past Or tucking a love letter under the front door MORELIA: Oh no, not again We're closed for business! -When your players encounter Morelia she will immediately recognize
that they are not from the town which will cause her visible relief with some embarrassment she
will tell them the whole story MORELIA: I'm still kicking myself about it I've made a thousand love potions
they're not even difficult I must have been so distracted that day Anyway they all went wrong A whole batch Whatever I did it's made me the
target of all their affections Young, old, men, women They'll be so embarrassed when it's fixed -She knows how to make an antidote but was not prepared to have to produce it in bulk and she's missing a key ingredient MORELIA: It's called Pixie's tongue, sort
of a creeping ivy with little pink flowers long and thin, very hard to cultivate I don't need much It grows in the caverns at the foothills
of the mountain range to the west Not such a long journey, but
it's wyvern territory I'm afraid You'll have to be either
very sneaky, or very strong Morelia doesn't have much gold, but if
the party is willing to work for trade She can offer all kinds of potions and charms Feel free to adjust the rewards and the
monsters based on your party's level The High Elf is a Bolivian rosewood dice
vault with your message inlaid in brass Next time your party is seeking
some kind of information They may meet Nymwen in a library, university, or knowledge domain deity's temple She is a scholar Rarely seen without her nose in a book or a scroll NYMWEN: I have the information you seek,
but you see I have a problem of my own If you will help me solve mine,
I can help you solve yours -She shows you a book A collection of love letters written by a poet Dead, over a century from some wasting sickness But Nymwen doesn't speak of
this poet as if she's long dead In fact she speaks of her quite intimately Ayanna speaks of love, the
way only a true lover can She knows her own heart, and
I am certain, would know mine In this world I have found
none suited to be by my side But since discovering this collection, I think perhaps it is only because she
and I merely ran afoul of time -Before she shares the
information your players need Nymwen asks that the party help
her break into the graveyard where Ayanna has been interred If your party includes a cleric or a druid She will ask them to cast a spell for her Otherwise, she herself can be a cleric and simply ask that the party protect her while she casts NYMWEN: All I seek is to speak
with her spirit, just once I've found a scroll that makes that possible A challenging spell to be sure But love is worth a challenge, is it not? -Perceptive party members may sense that
Nymwen is not telling the whole truth She will not surrender the scroll
until they are at the grave At which point a cleric or druid will
be able to recognize that the spell is not a spell for communication at all But true resurrection NYMWEN: Can you fault me! Would you not do anything to
be united with your soulmate? The being you are truly meant to love Who are you to stand in the way of destiny? Please! -It's your choice whether Nymwen will
simply try and persuade the players or take more drastic measures to achieve her ends And if Ayanna is successfully raised It's up to you how she feels about all this The Drow is a macassar ebony dice
vault with genuine bone inlay If your party is seeking work
they may hear that a local noble has put out a hush-hush call for a person or group willing to take on some non-traditional work If they're interested they'll be put
in contact with Lady Pyriel of Tarave A drow who is clearly going through something PYRIEL: Excellent, you're here You look like exactly the people I need -She has an unsettling undercurrent of rage
running beneath every word and movement But it's not directed at your players PYRIEL: I can picture him now
probably meeting with his tailor for final alterations on
the doublet I picked for him And my own gown a perfect match I should burn it Pyriel was unceremoniously
dumped the previous night by Veldren, an earl, known to be
handsome, charming, and capricious Pyriel had planned to accompany
him to a much anticipated banquet The social event of the season this very evening Anyone who is anyone in the city will be there Now shamed, she herself will not be attending But she does plan to get
your party on the guest list PYRIEL: He doesn't know you,
he'll never see it coming Veldrenora that vapid excuse
for a woman on his arm Oh, I wish I could see their faces when you
humiliate them in front of the entire city I don't care how you do it I just want him to never be able to
show his disloyal face around here again -She's happy to outfit your
party in lavish clothing, provide appropriately grand transportation
to the manor where the banquet will be held, and pay handsomely for the
service they'll be providing her, either in gold, or in secrets,
information, or a point of contact if that better suits your
campaign's current direction I don't want him hurt, only
his pride his reputation I want that flimsy little waif
he left me for to laugh at him to be ashamed to be seen with him Then he'll regret it Then he'll remember just how good he had it Fool -At the banquet your party may meet any
manner of important well-connected NPCs perhaps even connecting
them back to your main plot or into a new one Veldren will respond poorly
to being publicly embarrassed And Pyriel will take great glee in hearing
players recount his public meltdown If they really get creative
with it she may even tip I hope you like my three new elves I'm out here hoarding elf
characters like it's my job I guess it kind of is though Anyway remember that these
are just a starting point Maybe they'll work in your game
exactly as I've represented them here But if not, you are more than welcome
to change them in whatever way you need in order to suit your own plot, your
own characters, and your own world And remember if you want one of these beautiful custom elvish dice vaults from Wyrmwood You have until Valentine's day,
February 14th, to place your order Check the description for the link And for coupon codes to save
