Managing Non-Player Characters

In Adventure 054: A Feast for Frost Maidens, as the adventurers leave Frostmere, they look out across their tired but hopeful companions, Chef Ironspoon, Moose, Barlow, Hazel, and even Eddington from the caravan - all hopeful representatives of Frostmere in its final hours.

Managing NPCs is key to running a game that feels rich and alive. It can also be a challenge for Game Masters. Download the NPC tracker built for this adventure HERE. Or grab a sheet of paper and use the list below to track which NPCs are still a part of the action. Use the Commoner’s stat block for all NPCs.

If the action of the adventure causes an NPC to fall unconscious or otherwise become indisposed, go ahead and swap them out with another.

Carrying the Souffle: Moose, Barlow, Eddington, Smith

The Leaders: Chef Tovar Ironspoon, The Mayor (if he’s still part of the group), Netts (if he’s still part of the group)

The Rest of the Procession: Hazel, Bjørn, Astrid, Elsa

Other villagers you can add to the mix: Svelka, Kragmar the Dwarf, Hans, Old Salty, Bruno
