Encounter: three dapper modern halflings that look like they are probably in a vocal harmony group. Are they a troupe of traveling singers on their way to a gig? A trio of voice-based magic users? One disguised as the other? Vice versa?

Encounter: a human and a halfling, comedy duo and lodge brothers. Curry their favor with a dirty joke, a couple of decent cigars, or a nip of primo hooch, and they might be willing to put in a good woid for you with somebody that knows somebody down at the Lodge.

Encounter: the result of a horrible experiment gone wrong: half-Halfling, half-Orb; its mouth no longer works as such, but it still loves to magically absorb food and drink, negating any poisons and passing on any magical effects to the creature of its choosing, if you can keep its attention long enough to have its loyalty.
