Caislen Campaign Notes

Ginger Pooch

Ginger aka “POOCH”
Human
Deceased - She became a GHOST!
- As was always bound to be the case with her ill fated/cursed status, Ginger was eventually murdered by Ema who was on a human blood drinking rampage. Ema seduced Ginger and then ended her.
- Leaves behind a generic house in Goldvale.
- Currently haunting her house as a ghost trying to get people to go murder Ema.
Female
Banned from The Card House because she's a naughty drunk.
Local rumor is that she might have had a drunk hookup with Skip.
Party got Flatfox Herb¹⁾ for her from the Zerk Swamp as a quest for 30gp because she claimed it might help cure whatever curse makes her life supposedly miserable²⁾.
General personality was downer type. Perhaps formerly the most bummer person in Goldvale.
Ripped from the page 106 of a book of generic NPCs I have around. See book for developing more if it ever matters…
PCs had been given a quest to deliver a live goldfish to the hermit for 10gp. They ignored the quest and eventually Ginger got this errand and handled it apparently.
Ginger was starting to get obnoxious about wanting to be in the tavern, saying she's basically a local source of news/gossip and belongs there.

Everyone in Goldvale wanted Ginger's Ghost gone. The only clear ways to do that were to resolve her unfinished business which means to murder Ema for her, burn her house down so it couldn't even be haunted, OR alternatively perform a ritual to banish her that the local cleric Zingle was able to figure out.
- Zingle figured out that banishment would involve lighting 12 candles, which must burn for 8 hours, and the need to scatter salt and Zerk Zedoary throughout the house for that duration would be important.
“The Party” consisting of Jules, Urist, Alimir, Matilda & Vesper ultimately decided to clear the house of Ginger's ghost. They acquired the supplies and spent many hours while ginger repeatedly tried possessing them, sometimes succeeding and making them attack each other.³⁾
Ultimately as Ginger's Ghost tried to possess Urist⁴⁾ the Cloud Stone Ring in his possession triggered and the power flowing through it from the goddess Silfralta finished purifying the house of Ginger Pooch.
The house, now free of being haunted, was then officially deeded over to Vesper. See Casa de Vesper.
