Several merchants pass through Jackdog Town at regular intervals. Usually only one of the traders below will be passing through at any time, but during festivals or celebrations, you might be lucky and get two.
I plan to update this as a future point with adventure or campaign hooks.
- Seomund - Friendly, happy chap, always has a warm greeting and a smile. Scars on his wrists and ankles. Passes through every couple of months, with his trader’s wagon, always happy to purchase the unusual and sell at a decent price, especially knives, axes and arrow(head)s. Usually stocked with non-standard adventuring gear. Trades with the Blue Jar folk.
- Chink - Short and stocky with hair he claims has never been cut and facial scars that his paltry facial hair fails to hide. Sells short swords and daggers at a discount, holy symbols, shackles and totems made of teeth.
- Kro, Map-seller - They say she’s a hobgoblin, but her trimmed ears give nothing away and though her teeth are large and sharp, all her canines are missing. Likes a cloak and hood in most weather. Sells maps of places nobody should want to go and buys pelts.
- Pix - Actually a pixie under the influence of a permanent Enlarge spell; jumpy, skittish and easily distracted. Sells 1d6 different herbs at any time. Will buy good samples of any herbs they do not have.
- Heng and Brogun - barbarians dressed in brightly striped trous and unbleached wollen tunics, and wearing outlandish 'barbarian' hair and lengthy moustaches. They speak a remote and obscure dialect to one another, but are fluent in most other languages in the region, including that of the Blue Jar hobgoblins.
- Rumpunk and Slipskin - this dwarf married couple travel miles upon miles of the forest roads in their covered wagon, and have a passably working relationship with most communities they encounter. Which alone makes them notable. Both enjoy a drink at a familiar bar but regulars know better than to buy Rumpunk spirits, who is known to go into a full-blown beserk rage when crossed, if drunk on spirits. Slipskin is said to have a peculiar affinity for badgers...
