And on the first day of GURPSmas the blogger gave to me...

    ...one free NPC! No, I will not be giving fifty-five things in total at the end of GURPSmas, but I will give you all a surprise (and ten other things in between!) In other news, it is the Yuletides, so I wanted to do this "GURPSmas" to give back to those who actually read this thing. Today's NPC is for use in any modern game, and her name is Ms. Duluth. She has long, blonde hair and slightly pointed ears, and also always wears sunglasses.

    Ms. Duluth is a no-nonsense woman in a black suit armed with a USP Compact and a briefcase. She is some sort of agent for a federal agency, though the group is never sure. She follows them around, keeping tabs on them until they talk to her. She will give short and concise answers to their questions, shake their hands, then leave. once the group talks to her, she will never reappear. 

    The point of her as an NPC is to mess with the players. She is one of Santa's elven agents, keeping an eye on the party and making sure they stay nice and aren't naughty. If they ever open her briefcase, they will each find a stocking with their names on it, including one piece of coal in each. If they stay nice during her observations, they will find the name stockings, but they each have a hand grenade and a box of ammunition for each of the group's firearms.

    Yes, this is stupid. That is part of why I started blogging, to share my stupid and out-there ideas. If anyone actually uses her in their campaign (or one-shot), contact me, as I would love to share your story on my blog. Because it is the Yuletides, I am going to be writing smaller posts for a bit; I do apologize. Now, go out there and kick butt and drink eggnog, folks!
