Dramatis Personae

The Salesman

by Natascha Chrobok

This DP was inspired by "Tales of the ten Tailed cat" in Inferno no. 29

     

"Waiter, an ale please. Actually, I'm simply glad to be alive! Really. You see, I visited this inn,up by the market place. A little like this establishment... the ale was no quite as good as this, but close. Well, I saw something you wouldn't believe...

The inn was full of real low-lifes. Not like the fine fellows you'v got
here; I mean REAL SCUM!

Anyway, I'm sitting there and in walks the biggest salesman I have ever
seen! Big as ships. Like the ones here at the docks. The salesman fellow
walks right up to the bar. He's carrying a big case, and he sits it down
beside him as though it were his trusted hound. So this fellow orders a
drink and starts talking to the innkeeper, to the customers, those unsavoury
characters I mentioned, and he says something that upsets them. Something
like... like: "half now, half on delivery. Whatever it was angered those
people something terrible. They started bulling knives, swords, crossbows,
starting some trouble.

So the salesman leaps from the bar, snatches up his case and he dives in!
Just dives right in! I don't know what he did down there, but he came back
up with the biggest hand bow I have ever seen. It was judgement day in
there! I was frozen stiff! All I could do was watch while this, this thing
took the inn apart! Nobody was alive when the salesman had finished his
bloody work...

I heard, he's coming this way..."

Nobody exactly knows his name or where he came from. Some say that he was once a estalian Nobleman, tricked by a Marienburger merchant. He lost his title and all his possessions to that merchant and since that time the Salesman is looking for the merchant. He hunted him throughout the whole old world, leaving a bloody trail on his way. There are rumours that the Salesman has been seen in the Twisted Goat inn...

Bad Reputation: The "Salesman" has a bad reputation and even the bravest warriors get calk-white faces when they hear of him. He therefore causes Fear in his enemies.

Pisolier extraordinaire: The "Salesman" is able to fire and reload his crossbow pistols so fast that he is allowed to fire them 6 times per round.

Case: The "Salesman" uses his large case in which he stores his weapons as cover. For game purposes he always counts as being behind light cover.
