Appearance:

Murgunstrand is a stout little Gnome. He wears a long white cloak. He has a messy mop of grey hair and a long beard. His eyes are coal black, and he holds himself very straight, as if he was a soldier at attention. If you looked closely at his cloak, you would see it was riddled with small tears and holes.

Interaction:

Murgunstrand is very friendly to players. He likes to talk, and will try to get anyone to talk with him. If a player is looking for food, he has plenty available. He sells bread, dried meats, hard cheeses, and a few wines. He is a specialist in the local wines of Crowthorne, and he knows a good deal about each of the city's wines. He will tell players all he knows about them. If a player asks Murgunstrand about his cloak, he will change the subject. He is a bit secretive about it. If a player shows him any interest in the city of Crowthorne, or the ruins, or the shards, he will become very defensive, and the conversation will quickly end.

Background:

Murgunstrand has lived in Crowthorne his entire life. He is a school teacher, and has taught in most of the city's schools. He is well known in the city and is moderately popular. He is well-liked by merchants, but is a bit of a gossip.

Combat / Skills:

Murgunstrand is a decent fighter and can mix potions. He has a small stock of potions for sale, including healing, petrification, sleep, and invisibility. He can also create three potions a day, but he has been doing it for a long time, so his abilities are not well-known. Murgunstrand is a bit of a gambler, and he knows what is going on in the city. He is a good source of information, if a bit of a gossip.
