Can't stop, won't stop. More NPC free-association. Undoubtedly to be recycled soon in a product near you.
# | Name | Description |
1 | Vyshemir the Bark-Cloaked | A grim-faced exile draped in stitched birch bark and vole pelts. Survives off fermented lichens and bone tea. Claims to remember the forest before it grew. Might be centuries old. |
2 | Klara Vrzalová, Witch of the Third Tree | Laughs like falling pinecones. Lives in a mossy stone chair by a grove of silver-furred trees. Will trade charms, potions, or secrets for awkward personal confessions. |
3 | Pan Drogomil of the Hollow Helm | Rusted-out Nemec reiter touring the old border forts. Helmet permanently fused shut; speaks only through taps and groans. |
4 | Ján “the Dung-Sifter” | Lives atop a stilt-hut over a reeking bog. Tracks monsters by analyzing droppings. Cheerful and disgusting. Offers insightful monster lore with accompanying samples. |
5 | The Mulberry Sisters | Three masked women in embroidered shawls who travel the forest paths in quiet song. Offer aid, murder ballads, or hexes depending on your bearing. Possibly nymph spirits. Possibly just bored old spinsters. |
6 | Hrabal the Cucked | Feral poet and part-time bandit with antlers tied to his brow. Recites dream-epics at knife point. Carries a scroll of prophecy he claims he found in a bear’s stomach. |
7 | Granda Gura | Elderly shepherdess with 33 goats and a dog named Politics. The goats speak in unison when the moons align. Gura pretends she doesn’t notice. |
8 | Zali the Wind-Catcher | Thin and sunburnt woman who communes with the wind spirits atop the bluffs. Can forecast weather or deliver messages on the breeze. Might be possessed. Might like it that way. |
9 | Blazh the Deeply Untethered | Semi-nude mystic who floats six inches off the ground. Travels in unpredictable zig-zags. Occasionally offers cryptic advice in verse, then vomits blue flaming bile. |
10 | Toma and his Two-Headed Boar | Wandering swineherd with a cursed, intelligent two-headed boar named Clever-Crass. Claims to be tracking the "Invisible Hogs of the Latter State Hyperborean Age." The boar will correct his grammar. |
