  The following 1d100 list of urban NPCs contains 20 hu-
  mans, 10 dwarves, 10 elves, 10 halflings, 10 dragonborn, 
  10 gnomes, 10 half-elves, 10 half-orcs, and 10 tieflings. 
  However, this is not your typical list of NPCs. 
   Rather than emotionless humanoids with generic physical 
  quirks, Quest Chests aims to provide you with NPCs that 
  inspire and unlock adventure. To accomplish this, every NPC 
  is encompassed in a single sentence that places the charac-
  ter in a particular “scene.” Each scene is entirely unique and 
  serves the following two purposes:
  • 
  Paint a vivid mental picture of how the NPC behaves 
  and thinks, and
  • 
  Get you asking questions about the NPC.
  Both of these are important, but the second purpose is the 
  most crucial (and fun) for you as the Quest Master. Asking 
  questions about a character is how you make them your 
  own and bring them to life! These questions could include: 
  How did this character end up in this situation? What is the 
  character’s motivation for doing this? How will this charac-
  ter’s actions impact my players?
   As you populate your city with these NPCs, take the time 
  to ask yourself these types of questions and explore differ-
  ent answers. If you do, you’ll end up with a cast of charac-
  ters that your players will fall in love with and possibly a cast 
  you could build an entire adventure around!
  NPCs
  d100      NPC
  1. 
  Cadin Laurelpercht (male human) - The porcelain 
  dolls and exotic masks which lined the walls of Lau-
  relperch Manor seemed to fixate on young Cadin as 
  he cautiously crept down the hallway, calling out 
  for his mother and father who had gone missing 
  ever since the elephant man arrived.
  2. 
  Alita Trokudzo (female human) - Alita’s breathes 
  became short and sporadic as the masked figure 
  lead her down the dark passageway, the fanatical 
  chanting growing louder with each step she took 
  towards the dimly lit chamber at the end of the hall.
  3. 
  Beauregard Vansoon (male human) - Beauregard 
  let his dainty fingers trace the shimmering threads 
  which embroidered the lapel of the sorcerer’s cloak, 
  then turned back to face the gentleman and explain 
  that the price for his most recent masterpiece was 
  firm and non-negotiable.

  NPCs
  4. 
  Robyn Snikleten (female human) - Though her col-
  orful dress was caked in the grime and filth of the 
  city’s slums, all the muck in the world couldn’t hide 
  the whimsical smile which spread across Robyn’s 
  dress as she skipped home, fresh pastries in hand. 
  5. 
  Neddy Tumbleturner (male human) - Neddy’s stocky 
  silhouette could be seen through the foggy win-
  dows of his workshop, “Tumbleturner’s Gizmos,” 
  frantically moving about to ensure everything was 
  clean and tidy before he closed up shop for the day.
  6. 
  Jinvia Copperjolt (female dwarf) - Jinvia’s drab ex-
  pression undermined the complex train of theories 
  and concepts that raced through her head as she 
  simultaneously examined her notes and the rows of 
  glass jars filled with bubbling liquids atop her desk.
  7. 
  Rozumin Feyndark (male elf) - Silent tears rolled 
  down Rozumin’s cheeks as his hulking shadow 
  approached the temples many shrines, one by one, 
  praying to the gods and goddesses whom he did 
  not believe in to punish him for his faithlessness.
  8. 
  Tara Leafwalker (female halfling) - Tara hadn’t heard 
  what the stern and powerful guild master had said, 
  but she continued to nod without hesitation in 
  hopes that her constant conformity would earn her 
  a place amongst their council in the distant future.
  9. 
  Dojhan Vuphann (male dragonborn) - The young 
  orphan clung to Dojhan’s trembling leg as the 
  ancient dragonborn held aloft his flickering candle 
  to try and catch a glimpse of the silhouetted figure 
  that had been standing at the end of the hall just 
  moments ago.
  10. 
  Feppel Pheddlesock (female gnome) - Feppel turned 
  around and smacked the flat side of her meat-cleav-
  er against the whispering slabs of meat hanging 
  behind her, threatening them into silence as the 
  first customer for the day walked through the door.
  11. 
  Trastaer Halmornb (male half-elf) - As Trastaer 
  chuckled to himself and bent down to scoop up the 
  amusingly large pile of horse dung with his metal 
  tray as he did every night, any sense of lightheart-
  edness quickly fled as the two blazing red eyes 
  glared up at him from the sewer drain.
  12. 
  Thida Rengager (female half-orc) - As Thida and 
  the other sewage workers climbed back up to the 
  surface, the half-orc scratched at her calf where a 
  rather large rat had bit her earlier, unaware of the 
  putrid fungus that was already beginning to spread 
  up her leg at an alarming rate.
  13. 
  Dash Balmorn (male tiefling) - Dash brought his fin-
  gers to his lips and let a shrill whistle pierce the air, 
  
  2
  a clear warning to everyone that they better make 
  way for his shabby but reliable carriage as it zipped 
  and rattled its way through the crowds towards the 
  market square.
  14. 
  Tara Damfist (female human) - Tara looked down 
  at the wailing woman and pitied her, though only 
  briefly, before plunging her spear deep into her 
  stomach, reassured that the immediate roar of ap-
  proval from the spectators meant she was one step 
  closer to earning her freedom.
  15. 
  Thurndak Willowstone (male dwarf) - Thurndak’s 
  workbench was thrown into chaos for the first 
  time since its construction as the dwarf carelessly 
  swiped his hammer across it, nearly crushing the 
  tiny pixie as it scampered off with a handful of 
  gears and springs.
  16. 
  Merlara Zintumal (female elf) - Merlara peered 
  down into the sold-out theater from the shadows 
  of the catwalk high above, meticulously scanning 
  each and every face in the crowd through the 
  sites of her crossbow until she found her intended 
  target.
  17. 
  Pilbin Riverbend (male halfing) - Pilbin chuckled at 
  the joke he told himself, something he often did 
  while working, before raising the glowing hot blade 
  to examine his craftsmanship, searching for any 
  imperfections that would upset his princely client.
  18. 
  Bicoria Othtik (female dragonborn) - Bicoria 
  snapped at the cowering gnome to come adjust 
  the silk gown draped across her so that more of 
  her exquisitely toned thigh could be depicted in the 
  marble sculpture being carved by the chained and 
  starving half-elf.
  19. 
  Klenzbem Scudidnurt (male gnome) - Klenzbem 
  squinted through his inch-thick glasses at the large 
  map spread out across his workshop table and 
  wondered if anyone would notice that he’d drawn 
  the Martyr Mountains on the wrong side of the 
  continent.
  20. 
  Norhophe Yllbwynn (female half-elf) - As she stood 
  at the end of the dock and stared down at the 
  three mermaids beckoning her into the water, Nor-
  hophe tugged gently at her long, kelp-woven braid 
  wondering what her father and mother would say if 
  they were there beside her.
  21. 
  Cobud Tudfel (male half-orc) - Though not a single 
  customer had stopped to purchase one of Cobud’s 
  hand-carved and hand-painted figurines, the half-
  orc couldn’t help but smile as he examined the 
  chubby belly and three baby heads of one of his 
  favorite chimera-shaped creations.
  22. 
  Kilza Torentstell (female tiefling) - Blood oozed 
  through the white cotton sleeves of Kilza’s medical 
  coat as she calmly issued orders to her assistants, 
  certain that if they worked quickly enough, they 
  could save the life of the young dragonborn lying in 
  the hospital’s lobby.
  23. 
  Tuldan Silverroot (male human) - Tuldan’s tankard 
  of ale stood untouched in front of him as he sat, 
  his right heel anxiously tapping against the wooden 
  floorboards, wondering where his business partner 
  has run off to with their first month’s earnings.
  24. 
  Naerma Polishedjem (female dwarf) - Naerma 
  breathed a sigh of relief as she changed into her 
  simple nightgown, eager to enjoy an evening away 
  from the city’s superficial nobles who tolerated her 
  company if only to request more funding from her 
  treasuries.
  25. 
  Nuvian Ulalana (male elf) - Nuvian’s eyes sparkled 
  as he pressed his face to the glass and marveled at 
  the rows of bookshelves that rose up to the ceiling 
  on the other side, vowing to read each and every 
  one of their contents before his 100th birthday. 
  26. 
  Allison Brandywood (female halfling) - Allison quick-
  ly contradicted the cloaked raven-folk to inform 
  them that the agreed upon amount was now much, 
  much higher and proceeded to hold its gaze until 
  they looked to the abandoned warehouse floor in 
  defeat.
  27. 
  Paxiros Arthikalluth (male dragonborn) - Hours 
  turned to days and days to weeks as Paxiros’ metic-
  ulously dissected every word contained within the 
  thousands of books and scrolls that lined his grand-
  father’s secret library, desperate for the answer to 
  the sphinx’s riddle.
  28. 
  Thelmys Knittleknot (female gnome) - As Thelmys 
  watched the enormous spined wolf slam itself 
  against the bars of its cage, she twirled a strand 
  of her shimmering hair and pondered how much 
  the thing’s skin would fetch her on the city’s many 
  black markets. 
  29. 
  Rafavor Zanneiros (male half-elf) - Rafavor’s suit 
  tails trailed behind him as he gracefully stepped 
  out onto the balcony, basking in the cheers and 
  applause of over eight thousand citizens who 
  had failed to realize their water supply had been 
  enchanted with charming magic.
  30. 
  Ada Qercrack (female half-orc) - As the evening’s 
  fog drifted in, the hulking figure of Ada stood in 
  grim silence within the city cemetery staring at the 
  
  3
  pair of empty graves below her which had held the 
  corpses of both her mother and father not three 
  days earlier.
  31. 
  Gloom Dharzer (male tiefling) - Gloom softly patted 
  the head of the young half-orc kneeling before him 
  and offered words of comfort, though he knew the 
  boy had less than twenty-four hours to live due to 
  his unforgivable slights against the assassins guild.
  32. 
  Tifa Bronzepetal (female human) - Tifa did not let 
  the blindfold distract her from the task at hand as 
  she mentally tracked the silent footsteps of the 
  dozen monks who had surrounded her, eager to 
  best them in combat and prove they had chosen 
  correctly when they took her in off the streets.
  33. 
  Magmund Kettleclang (male dwarf) - Magmund 
  unleashed one last savage right hook across the 
  halfling’s bloody, unconscious face, plucked the 
  small coin purse from his jacket pocket, and casu-
  ally began making his way back to the casino to 
  settle his debts.
  34. 
  Arlayna Taxitania (female elf) - Arlayna had grown 
  rather jaded towards the lavish lifestyle she was 
  expected to maintain by the neighboring nobles, 
  longing instead for a simple life out in the coun-
  tryside which seemed to call out to her at twilight 
  each day.
  35. 
  Belver Snortinsten (male halfling) - After carefully 
  folding and placing his robes beside him, Brother 
  Snortinsten lifted the charred roof timbers with 
  ease and silently thanked his god to discover the 
  main altar had not been too heavily damaged in the 
  fire.
  36. 
  Nysfyire Nembatuak (female dragonborn) - As the 
  half-orc continued to demand she hand over all of 
  the coin in the vault, Nysfyire cautiously reached for 
  the heavy crossbow concealed under the counter 
  which she felt she needed to use far too often at 
  this job.
  37. 
  Smulkiss Haallbolan (male gnome) - Smulkiss’ ears 
  fumed red and his brow furrowed as he explained 
  for the fifteenth time that he understood the risks 
  he was taking by entering the “half-orcs only” bar 
  but that he needed to speak with the owner imme-
  diately.
  38. 
  Jiltheene Wayward (female half-elf) - Jiltheene 
  frantically lit the last of her incense and ran to the 
  cracked mirror, horrified to see that not only had 
  the black ink-like stains expand to the very edges 
  of her eyes but that the shadowy figure was once 
  again standing right behind her.
  39. 
  Tigian Merder (male half-orc) - Tigian’s eyes 
  remained tightly closed behind his cracked, 
  circle-framed glasses as he struggled to describe 
  to the novice adventurers just exactly what would 
  happen when the enchanted mess kit they were 
  holding was placed over an open fire.
  40. 
  Harmony Qinstone (female tiefling) - Every face in 
  the auditorium clung to the edge of their seats in 
  awestrucked anticipation, waiting for Professor 
  Qinstone to demonstrate yet another one of the 
  newest arcane spells she had discovered in her 
  years of research and study.
  41. 
  Sten Seaburry (male human) - Master painter 
  Seaburry adjusted the frame ever so slightly then 
  stepped back to admire the terrified expression 
  the hag had managed to capture on the face of his 
  greatest adversary when she trapped his soul and 
  creative genius within the canvas.
  42. 
  Gwinwyn Brittletoe (female dwarf) - Gwinwyn 
  traced the faded scar on her cheek and drowned 
  out the voice of the stranger sitting across from 
  her, too preoccupied with the hooded figure who 
  had recently entered the inn to pay their remarks 
  any attention. 
  43. 
  Folen Lorafaren (male elf) - Folen tried to ignore 
  the fact that the crowd hadn’t quieted down since 
  he’d taken the stage, choosing instead to focus on 
  letting his smooth, polished fingers pluck gently at 
  the strings of his expertly-tuned instrument.
  44. 
  Jasmine Rivernymph (female halfling) - As the tarot 
  cards fanned out across the table and the candles 
  dimmed seemingly on their own, Jasmine’s alluring 
  figure drifted out from behind the silk tapestries to 
  greet the adventurer seeking a glimpse of their fate.
  45. 
  Frorash Girthtulutan (male dragonborn) - Frorash 
  winced at the pain in his aging right hip and con-
  tinued sorting the wracks of shirts, jackets, and 
  trousers after a chaotic day of business, stopping 
  only when he heard the locked back door slowly 
  creak open.
  46. 
  Caddleni Ceddil (female gnome) - Caddleni’s face 
  went white, and sweat dripped off her petite nose 
  as she braided the rope fibers together, the voices 
  in her head screaming at her to wrap the rope 
  around the other workers’ necks and pull as hard as 
  she could.
  47. 
  Quoqarim Frilovar (male half-elf) - As Quoqarim sat 
  in his prison cell wondering who had framed him 
  for the brutal murders, he silently examined each 
  of the hundreds of tattoos which covered his body 
  
  4
  and reflected on the personal hardship each one 
  recounted from his past life.
  48. 
  Fagla Suudaax (female half-orc) - The shop’s front 
  door slammed shut, and Fagla pounded her fist 
  against the armor rack, cursing herself for costing 
  the shop another sale due to a sarcastic comment 
  about the customer’s taste in armor that, though 
  quite funny, had greatly insulted them.
  49. 
  Salmong Urixhas (male tiefling) - Though the 
  smile on his face conveyed a welcoming attitude, 
  Salmong was rather suspicious of the young street 
  urchins who entered his library, certain that they 
  were the ones responsible for the volumes of an-
  cient arcana that had recently gone missing.
  50. 
  Mia Calmoon (female human) - Mia’s arm, once lean 
  and powerful, easily slipped through the bars of the 
  metal cage to hold her sister’s hand, and the two 
  wept as Mia promised she would return to save her 
  if she managed to find her way back up to the city’s 
  surface alive.
  51. 
  Bromdrum Irontooth (male dwarf) - Bromdrum 
  took another clumsy swig from his tankard and 
  attempted to wipe some of the foam from his 
  beard before compulsively tossing another five gold 
  pieces down on the table to the delight of the other 
  players.
  52. 
  Sionia Ylladove (female elf) - Sionia hadn’t slept or 
  bathed in days, not out of choice, but out of the 
  inexplicable need she had to continue writing in 
  the blood-soaked book she had found sitting in the 
  middle of her library floor last week.
  53. 
  Dudo Puddlepond (male halfling) - Dudo gripped 
  his walking cane extra firmly as he began to hobble 
  his way towards the extravagant front doors of the 
  noble estate, certain that somewhere inside, his 
  grandson was being held against his will.
  54. 
  Kaxiris Thalkearac (female dragonborn) - Though 
  she rose at least four feet higher than the tiny 
  gnome standing across the counter, an unnerving 
  chill ran down Kaxiris’ spine every morning when 
  they entered the shop to buy more candles and 
  incense. 
  55. 
  Boppust Weavlepip (male gnome) - The wooden 
  figure carved like a terrifying demon Boppust found 
  in the high priest’s drawer gave him the chills, but 
  he figured it would catch a few gold pieces at the 
  market tomorrow, so he tucked it into his bag 
  regardless. 
  56. 
  Eliphira Starhope (female half-elf) - Eliphira wiped 
  the sweat from her eyes and stumbled down the 
  sweltering city street, desperate to deliver the last 
  of her letters for the day so she could escape into 
  the nearest tavern and enjoy as many glasses of 
  water as she could afford.
  57. 
  Narktok Gerrdsnap (male half-orc) - For the 
  eighteenth time that night, Narktok put down the 
  tankard he was cleaning and hoofed his way up to 
  the bar where three squealing fans wanted to know 
  if it was true that he’d single-handedly defeated an 
  entire cave full of trolls in his youth.
  58. 
  Nithvari Belshnip (female tiefling) - Nithvari, eager 
  to make her first undercover arrest, briefly felt the 
  front pocket of her jacket to ensure the hidden 
  sending stone was still there before quietly entering 
  the abandoned warehouse where she had been told 
  “The Boss” would be waiting.
  59. 
  Jados Featherhal (male human) - Jados’ cruel smile 
  was illuminated by the glowing stone which hung 
  from a thin chain around the bleeding half-elf’s 
  neck as he sheathed his dagger and knelt down, 
  clockwork hand extended, to snatch up what was 
  rightfully his.
  60. 
  Raenrin Hammerforged (female dwarf) - The rearing 
  griffin suddenly calmed as Raenrin pushed the 
  terrified saddle boys aside and ran one of her rough, 
  calloused hands across the creature’s ruffled feath-
  ers, speaking to it in a soft and tender voice.
  61. 
  Vesvryn Liatoris (male elf) - Vesvryn’s disfigured 
  arm struggled to rattle the tiny tin cup he held out 
  to the city folk who passed him by, eagerly awaiting 
  the lucky soul who placed the first coin within and 
  received his blessings of good fortune.
  62. 
  Chelsea Hearthsong (female halfling) - Chelsea 
  graciously thanked each of the evening’s guests 
  for coming to the show only for her heart to sink 
  as she turned around and saw the same tiefling 
  dressed in black waiting for her with the contract 
  in hand.
  63. 
  Vrakbarum Narthinstek (male dragonborn) - Vrak-
  barum was sure to keep his well-manicured hands 
  and feet covered during his sermons for fear that 
  the temple’s patrons would begin to question what 
  their tithing was actually going towards.
  64. 
  Lidny Claarabuse (female gnome) - The freshly 
  baked pie slid from Lidny’s hands and down into 
  the alleyway as the terrified gnome stared out the 
  window and into the hollow sockets of the smiling 
  shriveled woman standing on the roof of the neigh-
  boring building.
  65. 
  Nilben Phalzapheer (male half-elf) - Nilben pulled his 
  
  5
  pointed hood up over his crooked ears as he made 
  his way through the crowded slums, discreetly slip-
  ping a single platinum piece into the coat or pant 
  pocket of each disparaged soul the spirit pointed 
  out to him. 
  66. 
  Brutta Neksnapr (female half-orc) - The countless 
  piercings which hung from Brutta’s skin jingled and 
  clinked as she jumped from her seat to welcome 
  the young elf girl and her three friends who had en-
  tered her shop, eager to use her skills to help them 
  all find a new way of self-expression.
  67. 
  Mumble Helborn (male tiefling) - Mumble crossed 
  his burly arms and continued to shake his head in 
  stern silence, a clear signal for the two humans to 
  move along because so long as he was standing 
  out front, they were not getting inside the club.
  68. 
  Margot Wyvernward (female human) - Though the 
  people condemned her and her “witchcraft,” Kath-
  leen continued to hobble throughout the city every 
  night and leave a trail of salt and sugar to ward off 
  the nightmares and demons which threatened to 
  consume them all.
  69. 
  Bhelren Chizzledjaw (male dwarf) - The barmaid 
  rolled her eyes playfully after Bhelren met her 
  glance, ran his hand back through his beautifully 
  groomed hair, and let his charming smile announce 
  his approach up to the counter to order them both 
  a drink.
  70. 
  Zentha Xynloria (female elf) - As the angry crowds 
  gathered outside her temple, High Priestess Zentha 
  mustered every once of love and kindness she had 
  in her body to try and persuade them that violence 
  against their god would not solve their problems.
  71. 
  Jinsen Underlake (male halfling) - Jinsen let out a 
  hardy laugh and took a heavy swig from the bottle 
  before returning his attention back to the several 
  scantily dressed men and women who towered over 
  him, eager to please and entertain his every wish.
  72. 
  Yerwyn Yithtorac (female dragonborn) - Normally 
  Yerwyn would have blushed at the petite dragon-
  born throwing flirty looks her way, but ever since 
  getting fired, she was more attracted to the coin 
  and other valuables she could snatch from her 
  pockets.
  73. 
  Wirpwhip Shmookinshnick (male gnome) - Wirp-
  whip nearly fell off the counter as he giggled and 
  laughed at the tiny clockwork grasshopper which 
  lept from shelf to shelf in his struggling pawnshop, 
  eager to pay whatever price the owner wanted for 
  it.
  74. 
  Delphini Uriqwyn (female half-elf) - Delphini person-
  ally greeted each guest who entered her tea and 
  coffee shop at the door with a warm smile, a habit-
  ual practice that kept her far too busy to notice her 
  employees secretly slipping contraband into the 
  sacks of their “real” customers.
  75. 
  Ukrogag Hralkrish (male half-orc) - Ukrogag sighed, 
  accepted the man’s payment, and handed him his 
  tailored suit coat, concluding that the puzzled look 
  on his face meant that his newest song, though 
  improving with each iteration, was not quite ready 
  to be performed on stage.
  76. 
  Trust Soulstein (female tiefling) - Trust made her 
  way through each room of the bathhouse, check-
  ing the water temperature, ensuring the candles 
  were replaced, and placing a handful of rose petals 
  atop the steaming water before the twelve o’clock 
  appointments arrived.
  77. 
  Alpif Holydew (male human) - Alpif stepped out 
  onto his balcony and sighed far too despairingly 
  for his young age, dreading what was looking to be 
  yet another restless night as he agonized over the 
  words for his newest love ballad.
  78. 
  Ardielle Nimbleforge (female dwarf) - Ardielle’s 
  heart kept a steady pace as she strode through the 
  pitch-black sewers, confident that her axe would be 
  the one to slay the tentacled monstrosity that had 
  been terrorizing the city for the past several weeks.
  79. 
  Olaurae Wyswenys (male elf) - As Olaurae accept-
  ed the city’s award for outstanding service and 
  contribution, he let his gorgeous eyes and smile put 
  on a show of humility as he contemplated how he 
  would skip town before anyone realized his charity 
  was a hoax.
  80. 
  Selina Wickerbottom (female halfling) - Selina’s 
  lanky figure ducked under the exposed crossbeam 
  and awkwardly moved to set the nails on the other 
  side when she overhead another worker speaking in 
  a vile language to their boss in the space below her.
  81. 
  Balthazar Droltocnok (male dragonborn) - Balthazar 
  threw up his oily hands in celebration as his elab-
  orate contraption of gears and magic slowly rose 
  to its full height, ready to comply with any order it 
  received from its brilliant but unhinged master.
  82. 
  Loocel Nypernap (female gnome) - Loocel felt a 
  surge of confidence she’d never felt before as the 
  audience members booed the dragonborn who had 
  just heckled her routine out of the building and into 
  the street, reaffirming her hopes that she just might 
  make it as a comic in the big city.
  
  6
  83. 
  Ilogotin Walvalor (male half-elf) - As the tenth start 
  blinked out of existence in that single autumn 
  night, Ilogotin slumped back from his telescope and 
  let tears of sorrow well up beneath his owl-like eyes, 
  despairing for the inevitable end that would soon 
  consume his planet as well.
  84. 
  Thash Urvadrum (female half-orc) - Thash rested her 
  regiment issued shield and spear against the bar-
  racks wall and sat down beside the sobbing human 
  couple, promising them both that she would help 
  them find their little girl even if it meant turning the 
  city inside out.
  85. 
  Rhulnun Kertome (male tiefling) - Rhulnun sat 
  within his exotic import shop and let his fat fingers 
  drum softly against the dusty countertop, his shal-
  low, wheezy breaths emphasizing the utter silence 
  that filled his business despite the bustling streets 
  outside.
  86. 
  Jaida Klok (female human) - Jaida popped the cork 
  free from the jar with her knobby hand and gently 
  stirred the purple, creamy liquid inside until the 
  scent of lavender and freshly baked bread filled the 
  room, leaving no doubt that the woman’s remedy 
  elixirs were very much real. 
  87. 
  Djalmyr Sternstone (male dwarf) - Sweat rolled 
  off of Djalmyr’s scraggly beard as he peered down 
  at the city’s streets several hundred feet below, 
  glanced back at the three guards racing towards 
  him, then leapt off the tower’s edge with grappling 
  hook in hand.
  88. 
  Gweyir Omamoira (female elf) - Gweyir stood on 
  the tips of her toes to reach the spare key she kept 
  hidden on the top of her front door frame, unaware 
  of the dead dragonborn she would find sprawled 
  out in her living room with a single dagger plunged 
  into its back.
  89. 
  Aldarad Petalpusher (male halfling) - A calming 
  warmth worked its way from the top of Aldarad’s 
  head to the tips of his mud-stained toes as he took 
  a deep sniff from the yellow and purple spotted 
  flowers that had overtaken the front window of his 
  herbal shop.
  90. 
  Zendrish Climcrac (female dragonborn) - Little 
  Zendrish stared out her window at the alleyway 
  below and imagined two little pixies dancing amidst 
  the early morning mists, unaware that two pixies 
  performed that exact dance in that same alley while 
  she slept.
  91. 
  Nednoop Psiluntfart (male gnome) - As the rowdy 
  and seemingly sourceless music shook the windows 
  of Nednoop’s workshop, the gnome shook his hips 
  to the rhythm but never once took his eyes off of 
  the fast-spinning lump of glowing clay in front of 
  him.
  92. 
  Brynyal Aldoleaf (female half-elf) - Brynyal scoffed 
  and rolled her eyes at the pompous human who had 
  spent the last fifteen minutes trying to negotiate a 
  price for her famous jitterberry muffins, the recipe 
  of which was now easily worth half the properties 
  in the southern housing district.
  93. 
  Buzvig Bosdaallesh (male half-orc) - Buzvig lowered 
  his practice blade and offered a few points of in-
  struction to his student with an eloquence that not 
  only defied his grotesque nature but also left his 
  student intimidated at the idea of engaging their 
  master in both combat and conversation.
  94. 
  Mithgoria Natvari (female tiefling) - The overturned 
  hat spilled over with coin as the crowds cheered 
  and applauded MIthgoria who juggled the eight 
  flaming daggers with ease, drawing more and more 
  city folk in with her contagious laughter and out-
  standing performance.
  95. 
  Jamal Zemzoof (male human) - The irregular clunk-
  ing sound of hollow wood against cobblestone 
  followed Jamal as he limped his way off the dock, 
  through the dimly lit streets, and into the Wailing 
  Harpy’s Tavern where he could enjoy a fresh, frothy 
  ale for the first time in weeks.
  96. 
  Valerie Hollow (female human) - Valerie kept her 
  silk gloves pulled up high over her slender arms to 
  cover the scarred and bruised knuckles, concealing 
  the only evidence of the countless fistfights she’d 
  won in the basement of the Uppercut Tavern every 
  Sunday night.
  97. 
  Bulkahn Rockfellow (male human) - Bulkahn leaned 
  against the tavern wall and discreetly passed the 
  sack of coin from his calloused hand into that 
  of the pyromancer before slinking off into the 
  shadows, eager to put as much distance as possible 
  between him and the explosion.
  98. 
  Constance Fundrithit (female human) - Constance’s 
  mellow demeanor changed ever so slightly as her 
  sausage-like fingers began to fiddle with her butch-
  er’s apron while the furious customer continued to 
  shout obscenities at her from across the counter.
  99. 
  Mason Crowstich (male human) - As the secret door 
  swung open and the scent of strong spices wafted 
  up into the “trinket shop,” Mason quickly escorted 
  the two rat-folk down the stone staircase, promis-
  ing them that his newest concoction was the most 
  
  7
  deadly and undetectable poison on the market.
  100. 
  Lilian Spiritstalker (female human) - Lilian gazed 
  down lovingly at the frail figure beside her and held 
  back tears as she raised another spoonful of soup 
  to their lips, unaware that this would be the last 
  meal she would ever share with her mother.
