Juneau Delgado

The Seven Section NPC

Occupation & History:

Juneau is an adventuring mage, though these days he adventures less than in his youth, preferring to spend his time in his sprawling manse on the outskirts of the village of Mallowfern. At an early age his family was exiled from Glantri when they could not pay their taxes and they eventually settled in the Five Shires.

Physical Description:

He is tall and sturdy with a neatly trimmed grey beard and collar length grey hair. He dresses in shades of grey and pale ochre and carries a staff with a glowing blue stone atop it. His dark brown eyes are hidden beneath the brim of a shabby pointed hat.

Attributes & Skills:

Juneau, like most wizards is very intelligent, but he is also surprisingly dextrous and hearty; especially given his age. He has a deep knowledge of matters arcane, political intrigue in Glantri and the Five Shires interests him greatly. He is skilled in scrying and studies the Planes and Portals with interest. His most surprising attribute however is his skill in the use of the whip. Many a foe has been thrown off guard when Juneau has tripped them with his whip.

Values & Motivations:

Juneau still feels a close attachment to his tutor at the Glantrian school of magic who took him on despite his family history and haven been through a war he does what he can to prevent another.

Interactions with Others:

He can come across as grumpy and unfriendly as well as being a bit of a daydreamer. However when things have been going well he can surprise people with his forgiving and extroverted nature. He is known around the town for his thrifty nature, always haggling for the best price and sending his servants for bruised fruit and vegetables as the market is about to close to save a few coppers. This may be a legacy of his past; he wants to make sure he always has enough money to pay his bills and taxes.

Useful Knowledge:

His ability at scrying means that many people come to him to find lost relatives. The sheriff sometimes visits to ask if he can see what the humanoids are planning. His knowledge of history and all things arcana mean that lower ranked mages and sorcerers often visit asking for advice. There is a good chance however that they will be sent away with a flea in their ear.

Distinguishing Feature:

He will stop to pick up a coin in the street even if it is a bent copper. In his manse he has a servant stationed in each of the many rooms as he has a phobia of empty rooms and will not enter one in case the door closes and he is unable to get out. He is also serious allergic to any potions created from spells in the enchantment school.

Followers & Cohorts:

None

Adventure Hooks:

For Low Level PCs (Levels 1-6)

A nymph from the western Achelos Woods has tricked a clan of redcaps into believing that some of their ancient treasure has been stolen and hidden in the Juneau's manse. The mage hires the PCs to rid his house and grounds of the chaotic and irritating creatures as he is busy creating a new magic item for the sheriff.

For Medium Level PCs (Levels 7-14)

The sheriff's daughter has run away to sea and has fallen in love with the captain of The Seahorse, Ghiham Beerkeeper. The sheriff wants her back and commissions the PCs to find her. Juneau still has contacts in the pirate fleets and helps the PCs get a position on a rival ship.

For High Level PCs (Levels 15-20)

Juneau wants the PCs to deliver the letter that twenty years ago one of his adventuring colleagues gave him. He doesn't tell the PCs that the cleric died because of his phobia of empty rooms; Juneau ran from the room and closed the door not knowing that the cleric was trapped inside and died of starvation. The cleric's Immortal, Tarastia, has never forgiven Juneau and senses that the not has been taken out of the manse. Only she knows that it contains important coded information for the church of Tarastia and it must be delivered to the high priest not to the cleric's family. She recruits a group of vrocks to track down the PCs and retrieve the letter.
