Top 2 NPC: The Drunken Old Man

The Old Man does not need stats. He just needs some Tanith on the rocks… or maybe a few rounds.

In one of our Warhammer 40k missions we stopped in the Hive World of Skorgulian. Our fact-finding escapade found us in a dingy bar with a single customer. He ignored the child-like Miki and sat down for a couple of shots with the assassin Salvador Brown and the archivist S’chwuck.

Our tough-guy members of the retinue were trying to squeeze information from the old man by outdrinking him. But alas, Tanith was not a drink they were accustomed to.

The boys gained valuable planet information, hangovers and a new friend. He would have been part of the retinue, thanks to Salvador. The bartender, who happens to be the old man’s son, stopped him from boarding (and trying to drive!) the jetbike.
