[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 5733654, member: 79141"] [b]Uru's contacts[/b] Uru's contacts next. (I was umming and erring about how much detail to go into with all this, but it occured to me that other DMs could use the contacts from other groups as additonal NPCs in their campaign. You can never have enough of those, IMHO!) Uru is our party mascot: Imagine a black-skinned goblin with bat-like ears, huge, feline, amber eyes and sharp teeth, and you're on the right track. He is fascinated by modern technology, which he has a knack with, despite his low intelligence. (We've all met gifted car mechanics who never trouble MENSA, right?) In the seven years since Korrigan brought him back from Yerasol, Uru has found a home in the Nettles - specifically in the ramshackle toyshop of Tinker Jack - a reclusive old gnome who fears the outside world. His son Caleb died of the fever some years past and now he hides out in the clutter of his shop. Uru's player wrote: 'Why I was a young man then, not past my tenth year. We never did go down that road, and I still won't. That was near twenty years ago now, and I am telling you boy, you don't want to either. Your Ma swore she saw his boy's face in the window last night, but that could of been anyone. 'The little Tinker' never been much more harm than a few tricks.
