Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tonguez" data-source="post: 773116" data-attributes="member: 1125">Old Whistling Tom the Beggar Old Whistling Tom the Beggar, male human They are found in every city and yet they remain forever unknown. Unseen, they dwell within the shadows, in the alleyways, on the backrows where nobody goes. Noone knows how long Old Tom has been part of the cityscape, but parents remember their own grandparents warning them to stay away from Old Whistling Tom.  Dressed in a Cloak of Red and Black Velvet Tom is a strange figure of a man. Lanky and wrinkled he looks like a scarecrow and yet his bright blue eyes sparkle like the Saphires of the Glittering Brotherhood. Tom himself is a Watcher, a Listener he knows the city better than anyone, its shortcuts and backrows. Its hidden ways, its underground, its Other side -he knows its secrets. People fear old Tom, with his strange mumblings and eccentric ways. But they also know that they can trust him and that he has never turned any worthy soul away. For this reason Tom does have a small cadre of loyal associates - people who bring him news and gossip from around the city. There is very little that happens in Mors End that Old Whistling Tom does not know.Plothooks:1. Old Whistling Tom has a role as 'Sage' of Urban gossip within Mors End. If PCs need information Old Whistling Tom can probably provide it (though he might not willingly give it)2. What association does Old Tom have with Lady Kelvin and her regular dissapearances?3. Old Tom is the Watcher for the City - charged with keeping tab of the 'Others' (the supernatural denizens of Mors End) - now something weird is going on and Old Tom needs your help!Adp2/Brd4/Exp2: CR 7; ECL 8; Medium-size Humanoid;  HD 8d6+24; hp 52; Init +7; Spd 30 ft; AC 13 (+3 Dex); Melee dagger +5 (1d4/crit 19-20); Ranged dagger +8 (1d4/crit 19-20), or light crossbow +8 (1d8/crit 19-20); SA spells; SQ bardic knowledge, bardic music, summon familiar; AL CN; SV Fort +6, Ref +7, Will +15; Str 10, Dex 16, Con 17, Int 16, Wis 20, Cha 18.Skills: Perform 14, Appraise, Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Hide, Intimidate, Intuit Direction, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, Use Magic Device, Knowledge (streetwise), Knowledge (folklore), Wilderness Lore (urban) ; Feats Leadership, Alertness, Great Fortitude, Improved Initiative.Bard Spells:Adept Spells Prepared (3/3): Equipment: Light Crossbow, Cloak of the Bat, Dagger.</blockquote>
