Alfons is still completly fascinated with the tumor infested body and actually would prefer to spend more time with it but when his fellow deputies which to push on he nods reluctantly. Yes, yes let us head south. Just one more moment while I document this impressive growth here!
Very interesting... Alfons muses as he produces a scalpel and begins to examine the mess before him in detail. Fortitude
Heya. Used my time on the train to write up some NPC backgrounds/descriptions. On a business trip so posting is gonna be spotty for the restof the week. Gabriele Zitter:
N Human Rogue 1/Expert 1 27 years of age Notable Skills: Bluff, Diploacy, Profession (Alchemy), Knowledge (Nature), Profession (Accounting) Gabriele is a slightly roundish woman with long blond hair, deep blue eyes and freckled reddish cheeks. In contrast to Albert she is jovial and enthusiastic and everything about her from her girlish voice to her enamoring laughter makes people want to trust her. In her last career as a con artist this trait was somewhat useful, however she had made a name for herself a bit too quickly and thus decided to put the gathered funds to good use and visit Leipstedt University despite her humble upbringing. Here she met and got together with Alfons a man whom on first sight seemed so different from herself but in truth was the only person there who had ever understood her and seen through her disguise as he himself was a child of the streets. Today Gabriele is responsible for running the business side of Apotheke Zitter and knows just how to cover up her husband’s illicit dealings and curry favors around town. As of last year she was voted into the town council and has already made many important friends around town. She and Alfons have a daughter by the name of Maria who is 5 years old and much like her mother is quite the charmer. The girl spends most of her time with her parents at the shop or at home with Gertrun the maid of the house. Gertrun:
LG Human Expert 1 49 years of age Notable Skills: Knowledge (Nobility), Knowledge (Local), Diplomacy, Profession (Housekeeper) Gertrun has been in the Zitter family’s services ever since their daughter Maria was born. As a young woman she served the nobility of Leipstedt but lost her respectable position when a young nobleman got too touchy and she talked too much about it. While greyed and a bit tied up in her demeanor and appearance Gertrun is still an attractive woman. She carries the mannerism and air of a big city lady, which sometimes seems out of place in such a place as Grundy. In educating the Maria she places great emphasis on proper appearance and behavior as well as tact, characteristics which the young hot headed dervish who seems to take after her mother has not yet truly mastered. The Gardener: NG Half Orc Ranger 2/Barbarian 1 52 years of age Notable Skills: Survival, Knowledge Nature, Intimidate, Craft (Poisoner), Rage, Power Attack, The Gardener’s name is actually Taruk Bitedead. He received his name as a youth and doesn’t wish to hear it any longer or speak about the days long gone in in the hold of Belzeken where he was once hailed as a ferocious warrior. He left his homeland and its rough ways behind decades ago and anyone who ever asks about it receives nothing but a cold stare. He and Alfons first met during Alfons’ days at the Leipstedt University where Taruk, who is quite knowledgeable on flora and particularly fauna, worked as an expedition guide. When offered a job by Alfons in a peaceful village in the countryside where he would have his own greenhouse and also serve to protect the family Taruk was glad to leave city life and blabbering academics behind for a simpler and calmer life which seemed like a good way to spend the remainder of his days. Taruk is tall and broad of shoulder with very distinct orcish features. The thin sheen of dark hair all over his body is laced in silver and his sharply cut facial features give him a ruggedly handsome appearance that has many of Grundy’s ladies imagination going wild. While he spends most of his time in his greenhouse even a casual observer can tell that he is a trained warrior and while he might not be quite as quick or powerful as he was in his younger years even Tommy Two Tongue has instructed his ruffians to stay clear of the man. He and lady Gertrun maintain a casual romantic relationship which they keep secret from their employers.
Alfons smirks at Tommy's uncalled for dismissal. After all his second cousin was likely gonna die soon if he didn't do anything about it. Because what ever the man had gotten himself into was beyond Alfons. This is a matter of life and death. I need those ingredients as soon as possible. Otherwise I can't guarantee for anything! he whispers somewhat agitated.
Sorry I'll get my NPCs up later today. Haven't figured my loot out at all yet. Hell o busy IRL as I have conference to attend come tommorow and have to finish up my presentation. Also I'll be traveling for the rest of the week so I won't be around much. Next week will be more chill for me.
Gabriele and Alfons zitter arrived at the home of Albert when most everyone else had already arrived. Albert looked as if the grey had grown even more aplenty over the last weeks. Gabriele was still her beautiful and charming self but her smile seemed just a bit strained and and even the best make up could no longer hide the dark rings underneath her eyes. While Gabriele quickly mingled with all the guests and began to chit chat and parlay with those in high places Alfons needed a word with Tommy and approached the halfling inconspicuously. As only his two dim wit brothers were around Albert got straight to business. Tommy! The two of us need to speak in private! |
