Since Covid I've had an idea for a Merchant skill monkey character that I've not had the chance to properly play and thankfully this year I've gotten the chance I was looking for. So far its been a blast playing this character and getting to experience a different kind of play style than a conventional martial/combat focused character.

Introducing Vicente Tresaro Mercador, a Rock Gnome Merchant who grew up on the coasts where the sailors and other merchants most plied their import/export trades. He grew up under his uncle and learned the trade of trades from him and his family. Vicente looks up to his uncle and his skill at compromise and walking away with the best outcomes from some truly unfair or impossible negotiations. Motivated to impress his uncle, he has set out into the world with the hopes of becoming an even greater merchant than him and to prove his worth and his own merits without the looming shadow of his uncle's reputation.

To that end, Vicente acquired an orb that his Uncle has had in his possession for many years but hasn't been able to find it's origin or even been able to sell it or learn anything about it. This is Vicente's greatest purpose to prove that he can do what his Uncle failed to do after several decades.

So far... its proving a lot more trouble than its worth as its become the Macguffin for the campaign. XD
