I wish to make it clear that if your character has no reason to know of any of the following NPCs (or their abilities), you shouldn't draw on this knowledge during gameplay. That said, what follows below is a list of a few of the local NPCs who might be of interest as "spellcasting wizards, sorcerors, bards and adepts." Not everyone on the list is a spellcaster. But most could be tweaked by me to be older, male, or an older male. Hope this helps.
Brodert Quink (human male expert in engineering...and other things). Not a wizard but considered a "sage." Maintains a residence and "business" out of his home in Sandpoint.
Risa Magravi (human female arcane type). Higher level than you lot, though during game play most of your characters won't know it. Works out of a shop in Sandpoint called Risa's Place. No, I am not making that up.
Aliver "Pillbug" Podiker (human male adept). Mixed Chelaxian/Varisian blood. Seller of medicines and potions in Sandpoint. Not described as an "old man" by the module, but this is easily modifiable if need be.
Sabyl Sorn (human female monk). Maintains the House of Blue Stones (no, it's not a whore house, despite its name) in Sandpoint, a small local monastery.
Chask Haladan (male human bard). Owner of The Curious Goblin, a bookshop in Sandpoint. Described by the module as an aged man.
Cyrdak Drokkus (male human bard). Owner of the Sandpoint Theater. Probably middle-aged, but if need be could be an old man.
Madame Mvashti (human female low-level mystic theurge). Fortune teller and oddball.
