Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ashon" data-source="post: 836232" data-attributes="member: 7618">Ason UmnKey Ingredients:All That Glitters is not gold.Noises from the cellarA Blind Person"Is this a dagger I See before Me?" Ason Umn, is a well reknowned Tailor in Mor's End.  He services rich Merchants, Visiting Lords, and anyone else who has gold to spend.  He is also leading fashion Designer in Mor's End.  His seasonal Fashions are all the rage with those who have money to spend.All of this and he's blind!  Many of a client has asked how Ason is able to produce the quality of clothes that he can with no eyesight whatsoever.  He always responds with his quirky response; "All that glitters is not gold, all that shines is not light, and all that creates cannot see."Ason's main fabric is of course the famous Mor's End silk, farmed from the silkfish.  Tailors all over the world will tell you that if you cannot see, you cannot weave the silk, or even tighten the silk.  But this is all in contrast with silk loom, and bundles of silk that are in Ason's shop.Obviously it is tough to live life blind, so Ason has hired a local youth, Kolis Nui, to be his sight when it is needed.  Ason hired the youth straight off the street, when he tried to rob Ason.  Taking pity on the youth from the street Ason offered him a job, a place to live, and the means to educate himself.  Kolis goes with Ason when he purchases bolts of silk, or when he is meeting with clients.  Kolis lives with Ason in his apartments above the Tailor Shop.  The story goes, that when Ason and Kolis met, Ason said, "Is this a dagger I see before me?" Startling Kolis who had heard that the man was blind.  In the short span that it took Kolis to ponder the phrase, Ason, had disarmed the boy.Not long ago, Ason has been having problems sleeping.  He keeps hearing noises from the cellar.  But when he sends Kolis down to investigate it he reports that there is nothing down there.Kolis is actually the teen mastermind of a group of thugs who are using the basement of Ason's tailor shop to run their operations out of.  They are just minor thugs that have not committed anything more then petty theft.  Plot Hooks:1 The Players could be getting the newest fashions to impress some merchant, and Ason asks them to invesitgate the noises down in the cellar.  Eventually discovering the Kolis' betrayal of his boss.2 The Players could be out and about when they see Ason being mugged by young thugs (Kolis' thugs), and help him out.  Chasing the thugs back into their hideout, only to discover that it is Ason's Tailor shop.3 Ason needs some Mithril for a new needle so that he can repair some magical clothing, he hires the players to go and negotiate a deal with the dwarves.  And they get robbed either on the way too or on the way back by Kolis' thugs.4 After being mugged again, Ason hires a group of Adventures to take him up to inspect the Silkfish harvest for the year.  Running into Kolis' thugs.Stats for AsonAson : Male Human Exp 4; Lvl 4; CR 4; Medium-size Humanoid (human); HD 4D6; hp 16; Init +4; Spd 30 ft.; AC 14 ; Melee +3 (Noncombatant); AL LG; SV Fort 1 Ref 6 Will 7; Str 9; Dex 19 (+1 for 4th Level); Con 10; Int 14; Wis 15; Cha 12Skills and Feats: Appraise +9, Concentrate +7, Diplomacy +8, Innuendo +9, Knowledge (Exotic Fashions) +9, Listen +9, Profession (Tailor) +12, Sense Motive +9; Skill Focus (Profession), Alertness, AmbidexterityPossessions: Tailor Shop, Artisian Tools (Tailoring, Magical +10 to Profession(tailor)) Lord's outfit, Belt pouch,  Money: 100 gp (The rest tied up in Silk Bolts, thread and needles)Languages: Common, Elven, Dwarven, Halfling, Gnome, Terran, Sylvan, Draconic (Extra Skill Pts thrown into Speak Languages)Artisian Tools:This set of tools, allows Ason to craft the clothes that he can with ease that belies his abilities.  It also allows him to alter/repair magical clothes.  It was presented to him as a gift from a travelling Wizard when his Cloak was ripped.

Incidently Ason is not a shortened Ashon, it is actually supposed to be a shortend Jason.  But I didn't realize the name until I was ready to post.  PPS This is my first contest to enter, and I've been trying to avoid reading other peoples so I don't sound too familiar to them, so hopefully it incorporates all the nessecary things.[Edit: Forgot to add the Spoken Languages]</blockquote>
