[QUOTE="Carnifex, post: 290941, member: 227"] Hi all, just wondering if I could tap into your collective brains to help me name an up-and-coming NPC in my campaign. He's an arcanoloth whom the players are going to end up freeing from, his current confinement - a small vase which he is trapped inside as a spirit, since the beings who made the vase then used him as a kind of portable encyclopedia. "Hey, 'loth, tell us what the name of the sage who wrote the Azercorium is," kinda thing. Anyway, at first the PC's shouldn't realise that they've released a fiend, and in fact he'll give them a reward for freeing him from his confinement (though it's actually Gehennan Spice - [url]http://www.ps3e.com/equip.cfm?id=23&ctog=1&equiptog=1[/url] - which isn't such a gift when you realise that it's quite addictive :P. Later on though he'll start pooping up around the place, both helping them (for a price) or hindering them ("Oops, did I just lean on the support that holds up the mine entrance? Oh, sorry 'bout that."). I need a good name for him, but for the life of me I can't think of a decent one. I was thinking of one that, if translated, means something like 'cunning bastard' or 'treacherous git' in some real-world language :) One in egyptian would be best, sicne that's the kind of theme he has in the clothes he wears. Can anyone lend me a hand? [/QUOTE]
