[QUOTE="Gilladian, post: 5642082, member: 2093"] Here's an old man and his mule, who in my campaign are wanderers on their own, showing up in the town where the PCs are at random. Ofergenga is the old man's name (means "wanderer" in old english, I think). He's nothing more than he seems, an old man of some cleverness, a tinker and trader and sometimes a panhandler, who sells trinkets, charms, minor magical bits and bobs (potions and scrolls, mostly). He's a 3rd level expert in my E6 campaign. However, he seems never to age, never to fall ill, and never to face real danger on the (bandit laden) roads. His mule is Bicwiden; to most, the mule is just that, an ordinary hat-eating, ornery animal. But in truth, the animal is minor aspect of Centarius, the god of merchants and travelers in my campaign world. He carries an iron ring, fastened to his bridle (a hackamore) that has a magical ability to put foes to sleep, thus protecting Ofergenga. Sometimes, Bicwiden's back packs contain items that Ofergenga has never seen before, which he will often sell or even give to those whom Bicwiden pays attention to. Ofergenga and Bicwiden can be as ordinary and common as dirt, or seem downright uncanny and fey, depending on the occasion and how the PCs react to them. Ofergenga NEVER acknowledges that Bicwiden has any powers or protective abilities, merely insisting that "nobody bothers us, we're so harmless" and such. [/QUOTE]
