Bear Merchants
The best thing about Fat Bear Week is that it lasts more than one day.
...
Bonehook
A large, black-furred male with fishbone piercings in his lips and ears.
- Smoked Salmon, 5sp/ration. At the end of a week of eating this every day, roll 1d20. If you roll over your Strength score, gain 1 Strength. For each day you go without eating smoked salmon, reduce your Strength by 1 until you reach your original score.
- Salmon Roe, 10sp/ration. Gain 10xp when you eat this. Hirelings gain +1 morale until the next dawn.
- Map Scratched onto Birch Bark, 5000sp. Shows the location of an island which sunk into the lake on the edge of Bonehook's fishing territory. A strange old human had a cabin there; a raven told Bonehook that the cabin was full of shiny things.
Glitter
A furless female, caring for two cubs. One just as manic and hairless as her, the other dark furred, serious, and quite embarrassed by them both.
- Flashbang, 50sp. Causes a sudden, bright flash. Anything with eyes that was not prepared must save vs spells or be blinded for 1d6 rounds, or 2d6 if they have infravision.
- Smoke Bomb, 75sp. Fills a 15' radius hemisphere with opaque, choking smoke for 1 turn.
- Rocket, 100sp. Flies 300' in any direction, then detonates, in a cloud of sparkles. A direct hit deals 2d6 damage, though aiming suffers a -1 penalty for every 50' between attacker and target.
Mitten
A tan-furred young female wearing a witch hat crocheted from a chaotic array of colours. Tends a flock of mountain sheep. She can cast spells as a theurgist.
- Hat, 2000sp. A too-big hat like Mittens'. After casting a spell, the wearer can roll 1d6, if they roll over the spell's level, it is not forgotten.
- Scarf, 250sp. Unreasonably long and striped with chaotic colour. Can be stretched into a functional 50' rope, impervious to fire. Used like a whip, can be used to grab items at a distance (Ranged attack to grab, 1-in-6 chance of knocking the target over on a miss), the end will tangle around something on command.
- Blanket, 1500sp. Functions as a magic carpet for 2 human-sized creatures, except when wet or in the dark. Then it just sulks.
