You should have nine more Phransigars than the number of player characters. This is because there are seven NPCs who will fight with the party, and the Phransigars must always be a majority. Minimums for the Phransigars are: Body 5, DEX 8, LRN 6, CHA 7. 1 level of Rogue is given. 1 level of Brawling is given.1 level of Athletics is given. No formal schooling is given. Merchants These all know one another from previous trips: Ralf and Marta Holgerson, son Anders & daughter Kirsten. They are parts brokers from Raselhogue.They are tough, unscrupulous bargainers and fighters. Kirsten is gentle, the "white sheep" of the family. She could try to mediate between the PCs and her family. They want several of the parts you have, and really need to get one. See "resolution" section. Meer Ali, rugs and textiles. Ingratiating, shrewd Dilip, his helper. Shy, strong, friendly. Dilip and Kirsten are interested in each other. Vehicle: Heavy Transport, good condition. Honest Dan, the vegetable man. A market trucker. Knows this run like the back of his hand. Vehicle : Adapted surplus heavy transport, old and cobbled together. Mudee, his helper. Scowling, grouchy. "Chip on his shoulder". Actors Only know each other: Reynolds & Simpson: a comedy troup. Two Vans, and a tent trans. Mack Simpson and Ron Reynolds are the owners, MCs, and stars. The others are Morna, a soubrette, Alfie and Darryl, the tumbling act. Pelisa, who stands around and looks pretty (the costumer, shrewder than she looks, but only interested in clothes and the company), and Fred, the stage manager, set up manager, driver, etc etc. Morna and Fred are a couple. Referee: they are here for local color only and may be left out.
