[QUOTE="Jolly Giant, post: 755904, member: 5278"] Ok, here goes! My first real contribution to the Mor's End project: [B]Jophat Gadling & Son, Gemcutters[/B] This venerable old man learned his craft from his father, who learned it from his father, who learned it from his father... To cut a long story short, the Gadlings have a long tradition of gemcutting! Jophat moved to Mor's End 3 years ago, after he was run out of his former hometown by some very unfriendly competitors. He's been a widower for almost nine years now. He has two daughters, Nina and Jasmeth, both married and living in Jophat's former hometown, and an unmarried son called Hubert,.who share the small appartment above the shop with his old father. True to Gadling tradition, Hubert has been Jophats apprentice. Though he's long since mastered the craft, he doesn't have the money to start his own business, so he still works with his father. Though he's reached the great age of 82, is thin, pale and bald, and needs both his walking stick and spectacles to get around, Jophat's mind is as sharp as ever and his hands are still steady enough to work the trade. His reputation as a master craftsman is rivaled only by his reputation as a master haggler and negotiater. Jophat Gadling, Gemcutter, venerable human male expert 3: HD 3D6-9; hp 3; Init -1; Speed 10; AC 9 (-1 DEX): MELEE walking stick -2 (1d4-3, 20/x2) AL LN; Saves Fort -2, Ref +0, Will +6; STR 4, DEX 8 , CON 4, INT 15, WIS 14, CHA 13; Skills & Feats (*): Appraise +14 (+16 when concerning gems), Bluff +7, Concentration: +3, Craft (Gemcutting) +12, Diplomacy +9, Gather Information +9, Knowledge (Geography) +3, Knowledge (History) +5, Knowledge (Nature) +5, Sense Motive +8, Skill Focus (Appraise), Skill Focus (Gemcutting), Toughness. (*): Synergy bonuses and bonuses from equipment such as scales, magnifying glass and masterwork tools are figured into these numbers. Plothooks: 1. Jophat would LOVE to see something bad happen to the people who ruined his last business and drove him out of town! The local authorities have not been able to help him. Are they corrupt, or have the bad guys just covered their tracks too well? Or just maybe the old man isn't all that clear in the head after all, and there really was no crime..? 2. Jophat has come across a gem with strange, unidentifiable magical properties... 3. Jophat is worried that one of his son-in-laws is not treating his daughter right. Offers the PCs the gem (from plothook 2) to go give the lout a good talking-to. The son-in-law proves to be both more powerful and cruel than Jophat could ever have suspected, however... 4. Hubert is getting sick of waiting for his father to die, so he can take over the shop. He tries to hire the PCs to kill the old man, offering them the gem (from plothook 2) as payment. Will they accept the offer or try to convince Jophat of his son's ill intensions? He'll have a hard time believing them, so they might have to guard him against his will... [/QUOTE]
