[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 5737695, member: 6674868"] A really slimey-personality NPC contact with a really high Gather Information skill who will meet you in various seedy taverns, alleyways and building tops? Only accepts payment in charred, pickled frogs, a very exotic dish that's rather expensive and challenging to make. A minor crime boss with the Leadership Feat, has followers spread across the landscape who tip him off with information. He'll pass this information to you, if you'll do him some favors, or provide a cut of the profits. A small, black cat comes around the guild hall from time to time and for a bowl of milk, she'll tell you what she's heard. She's really a Tibbit who is a member of a much more advanced adventuring guild that has taken a liking to this new, fledgling adventure guild and would like to see if they're worthy of being invited into their larger organization, of which the PC's are ignorant of the existance of. A Silver Dragon, in disguise as a human man, is tipping off the adventurers. They're really participating in Xorvintaal, "The Great Game" (MMV p.38). A Demon approaches the heroes, explaining rather frankly that he'd rather supply them with information on how to fight certain evils, to keep them from fighting other evils. They'll still end up doing great things, but just the kinds of things he'd prefer they pay attention to, at the exclusion of others. The Demon knows these heroes have a prophecy of becoming great destroyers of Evil and is looking to thwart this prophecy, as he successfully has five adventuring parties in previous generations who had inherited this prophecy. An artifact that is a hand held black sphere with a small flat surface on one side, when you shake it and turn the flat part up, it gives cryptic response to questions asked. On the opposite side of the aperture is a sideways infinity symbol. .... Are you looking for an NPC that is a member of the guild, but does not travel with the party? or does travel with the party? or something else? [/QUOTE]
