[QUOTE="ajanders, post: 4646576, member: 3271"] Yes...yes he is. And the PC's will never ask why, will they? Perhaps Tracks defense wasn't teleporting at all. Perhaps the trolls made him an offer he couldn't refuse, and now Tracks dispenses cursed and selectively magicked items to further the plots of an Unseelie Duke. Perhaps Tracks is actually a succubus tempting people to evil by offering them cursed magical items...or beneficial ones, in exchange for a "minor consideration to be determined later". The poor trolls thought they were muscling in on a little halfling magic shop and got the surprise of their lives. (Followed shortly by the ends of their lives.) As for missions, repo jobs are always interesting. From dragons, liches, or efreet. So are delivery jobs. If Tracks has enough of a reputation (and isn't some kind of succubus warlock) he may need the PC's for security, as noted. Sufficiently powerful magical items start to change the political landscape of the game, for example: "Deliver this rod of resurrection to Temple Blackskull. Yes, the Banite temple whose leader just got killed by adventurers before he could open the gate to the Shadowfell. I don't ask what they're doing with it, I just get payment up front and in cash." (Bonus points if the party caused the leader's demise during their raid on Temple Blackskull. Now that's a social challenge) [/QUOTE]
