Appearance:

Puffball is a slightly inebriated male lizardkin with a bit of a wild look in his eye. His scales are a deep green with a yellowish tint and slightly stick outwards, giving him a slightly lopsided look. He has a short tail and his arms hang just slightly lower than they probably should. He's not particularly overweight, but his posture makes it difficult to tell. He's very tall and has a good, solid build.

Interaction:

Puffball is very drunk and fairly mean. He'll talk to anyone who talks to him. If he does not intimidate well enough (DC 10), he will just stumble away from them. If he does intimidate well enough, he will tell the party his life story. He is a member of the party of spellcasters in town (the team apparently consists of two halflings, a dwarf, and Xauden). He does not know anyone in the party, but if they attempt to enter Thume, he will greet them and offer a brief introduction if needed. If the party tells him that they are adventurers and have defeated a Thayan mage, he will become very interested.

Background:

Puffball was one of the survivors of the destruction of Thume, the lost city in the East. He and Munchkin, a female halfling sorcerer, led the refugees through the jungle, looking for shelter. Eventually they stumbled upon this city, where they are now preparing to defend it against a group of Thayan sorcerers.

Combat / Skills:

Puffball is powerfully offensive with his spells, but has little in the way of physical ability, including a -1 AC. He carries 1d50 silver coins and has a variety of spells at his disposal, including the following: Move Earth, Shape Earth, Create Water, Cause Fear, Fireball, Disintegrate, Cloudkill, Ice Storm, Otiluke's Freezing Sphere, and Wall of Stone. He also carries 1d10 scrolls of Maximilian's Earthen Grasp and Creeping Mold.

Equipment:

None.
