GLoGtober day 10: Mechanic

d6 people who can fix things and build for you:

1 A gruff dwarf named Soldur. She keeps tools in her beard, and her heart is kept going from a flaming crucible she perpetually has to pour molten metal into. She has a habit of using the old heart-metal in works of jewelry, and she likes to think if the heart-metal jewelry is given to a partner, their love will be undying. She claims the wight that always follows her in the shadows is just a coincidence.

2 A lisping elf named Symrathic Dudemis-Tanach. His wheelchair is outfitted with all sorts of interesting tools of varying uses, but his favorite to use is the tea dispensary. His obsession with formality and cordiality often makes his actual work come to the side while he gets to know customers and walks through his byzantine rituals, such as signing all the bills in animal blood.

3 A thri-kreen named Yppo who specializes in the construction of chaotic and unusual guns (time to bust out the first batch of GLoGtober entries!). They cannot speak common, and rely on a translator- a small, bald gnome named Davin Atler Burrowbicker, who talks in a calming and detached voice, very different then Yppo's frantic, enthusiastic and disjointed speech.

4 An adept psion named Olio Guurden who uses telepathic and telekinetic powers to conduct business. One of the greatest psions on the face of the planet, though compared to most other psions, displaying a relatively low margin of ability. This is because she is an autodidactic musk ox. She has a side gig as an espionage agent for the government- no one suspects the ox.

5 A lanky firbolg with vibrant yellow hair and flowers growing out of their collarbones called the Green. An ardent missionary of the nature deity who argues a unity between the natural order and civilization, a stance that gets them in very much trouble from the rest of their faith. If you can track them down on the outskirts of town, hiding from their fellow clergy, they will do tasks for barter or favors, but never coin.

6 A small kiwi bird in possession of a large toolbox. Many people swear by its service, but it seems to behave exactly like a normal kiwi, even when being spoken to. However, looking away or leaving it to a commission will result in the task being performed perfectly, unnaturally fast, and with an exact bill (relatively cheap, but not unfair) written in fresh ink.

    Thanks for reading, and happy gaming. Full adventure, with a dice-drop dungeon generation, coming down the pipe tomorrow that I've really loved writing, I hope you'll enjoy it half as much. GLoGtober is just under the third of the way done... man, time flies!

GLoGtober: the Pearlescent Road

  Long ago, before the Quiet Conquest, before the Concord of Cor Ecclesiae, there was a shining road that spanned the length of the subconti...
