Solomon's Keep NPC theorycraft
Well originally I intended to make some sort of demo game that showcases the npcs but... ...
The quality was not satisfactory for the amount of effort I put in.
So I've just decided to write a brief description of each npc that i made instead of scrapping the whole thing.
Note that the some npcs have hidden backstories and other changes based on player decision( it is possible for you to cause someone to die) that are not described in here.
I intend to share the details to John if he is interested in it.
Also I will not talk about the npcs that are originally in SK.
* Most NPCs are based on my fanmade lores, which I will discuss in another post.
1. Jack the Barkeep: Very ordinary barkeep that will offer you side quests for farming exp and gold.
2. Fabian de Laurent: A Knight Errant from The Continent. Very friendly to the player and often helps player clear out some room in the keep. He will also buy you a drink from time to time.
3. Caed Ramhorn: A bard from Pummel. Often sings a poem about legends and current events in Nordland, area north of Pummel. Will sometimes give side quest to defend Pummel from undead raids (free teleportation to Pummel included)
4. Marius: A professor of mycology(study of fungus) who excels in making exotic potions. He runs the local apothecary in Dead Hawg. He also likes red mushroom.
5. Father Anderphos: A local priest in Dead Hawg. Giving him tithe will give divine boons to player. Also related to a certain quest after defeating Solomon.
6. Kojiro, the Swallow: A samurai from far east. Mostly talks about the current events in far east. Occasionally shows up in the keep.

9. Asmodeus: A mysterious "person" that respawns you if you die. Also, opens the portal to hell once Solomon is defeated.
10. Thomas the "archthief": A "professional" thief who came to raid Solomon's Keep. He will steal some gold if you talk to him for the first time.(cuz he is a thief) He will show up in the keep occasionally, mostly scrounging a chest.
11. Tarin of Bandywick: A mead merchant from Bandywick. Will sell cold beverages and offer a side quest to escort his mead wagons.
