Dumpster Driver/Rock Pals

Founder:

  Frederick Blisterfoot is a grime covered halfling with a bit of a drinking problem. He can be smelled long before he is seen, but if his scent doesn't turn you off, there is a chance you may like what he has to offer.  

Shop Appearance

  The small wagon that Frederick pushes around looks and wreaks of a garbage dumpster. Most of the wares he sells depict rotting vegetables or broken items. Upon purchase of a good, he will turn that item into stone and it will henceforth function as a sort of Walkie-Talkie. The partner for each item exists in the world, but is wielded by another person. You can talk to that person whenever you would like, though they will often be irritated that you are bothering them.   DM's should roll a D20 during each long rest that the party takes. Upon rolling a 20, the player character will receive a call through the stone item. The person who wields the partnered stone will desperately need to complain about the problems they are having in life. Players can choose to assist the person and in turn begin to form a bond with them. When a strong enough bond is formed, they will want to meet the players character in person. If players choose to travel to meet this individual, they will earn the paired sending stone, and potentially make a friend.

The ash, the lava, the roar of the molten rivers—that’s where I learned to spark my own flame. But I’m no simple ember! There’s a whole world beyond the fire, full of people, places, and stories waiting to be uncovered. So I packed up my curiosity and set out to learn it all.
