Encounter: Wrulphonse von Schlimm, insufferable warlock apprentice; can manage spells up to second level, but before whoever’s playing him rolls for the spells they flip a coin: heads, roll as normal; tails, automatic crit fail.
Encounter: a couple of researchers from a magical university that would like to test out a new bard spell, if you have a minute. It’ll be fine! We’re, like, 90% sure nothing bad will happen. (Roll d10.)
Encounter: a coven of four actual lady-witches and one man in a Manwich costume, which he thinks is hilarious. The party comes to realize the witches are quietly planning on eating him before too long–not that they normally eat people, just that his puns demand punishment
Encounter: the Great Zebediah, master magician; will teach to those that he thinks have gnarly potential. Has never revealed to anyone what the P on his hat stands for
