Naked Nords
These are loosely based on events in Morrowind.
Roll a D4 to decide which occurs. If the rolled event has already been resolved, choose a different useful one.
1. They were paralyzed by a witch and left for dead. (If the party does not have a way to, the man directs them to a group of wizards who have holed up nearby. A remove curse scroll is either given to the party or taken by force, depending on how they approach the wizards. If any of the party can remove the spell, he offers to become the blacksmith at the guildhall (if claimed) otherwise he sets up shop in a nearby town.
2. They were drugged by a ‘witch’ and robbed. The witch is just up the road and claims that the man stript himself, trying to get a little too friendly. The woman is an alchemist who was defending herself from him. Kill the man, get 3 health potions and an enchanted axe (Cloudcleaver). The alchemist offers to join them at the guildhall, supplying them with healing potions. Kill the ‘witch’, getting 3 health potions from her corpse, but no axe. Murder Hobo. 3 health potions (if she didn’t drink them in the fight) and the axe.
3. They were attacked by a witch, robbed of their axe and clothes. This one is actually a witch, who will attack the party on sight. As a reward, he will help whoever wants it become proficient in a martial weapon of their choice. He comes to the guildhall if obtained, and will train them there.
4. They are fully clothed, but unarmed, with no obvious injury other than a limp walk. He claims that a witch threw him out of his house, stealing all but the clothes on his back. Talking to the ‘witch’ it turns out she’s his disgruntled wife, and he’s drunk as a skunk. She makes the party a meal for their trouble.
