I had an idea for an NPC that I am thinking about throwing together and using in today's more story focussed session. The NPC is a male; Tiefling Wizard called, Pompom. Pompom lives in a large travelling caravan, pulled along by an old grey mare called Jess.
The caravan would look something like this:
The caravan is Pompoms mode of transport as well as his home. In it, he has travelled around a significant part of the world. It is full of pots and pans and books and potions of all descriptions. In every nook and every cranny, Pompom has stuffed some keepsake. Or some old papers or piece of junk that he accepted as payment in full for his services. As to his services, they are whatever he imagines them being. You see, Pompom travels around the world offering his help wherever he can. Trying to make the lives of the ordinary peasant just that little bit better and although he is quite a great wizard, he is much more focused on writing his magnum opus.

With all his attention focused on writing his great work, he often makes mistakes; mixing the wrong potion, or casting the wrong spell; that always ends up turning the lives of those around him upside down. Often with hilariously funny consequences. However, they do say that laughter is the best medicine, and so the people give him some small thing as payment, something to add to his growing collection of clutter and wave him off on his way, laughing as they do so and wondering what they would have ever done without him.
