NPC Focus - Corbin Gosselin

Corbin Gosselin

    The halfling Corbin Gosselin is the owner and proprietor of La Pipe à Fumer, the most popular tobacconist in all of Ville des Marie. He owns several acres of land to the south of the city that he uses to grow multiple types of tobacco, including a hot, cinnamon-flavored strain called Dragon's Breath. He refuses to reveal how he created the tobacco's flavor, but rumor has it that he had the help of alchemists from a distant city.

    One of the more unusual items that Corbin sells is the Gnomish Pipe, and he has several magical versions available for sale as well. The pipes he sells at 20% over the basic cost, but they remain popular despite the cost. He also offers basic pipes and cigars, and these are very reasonably priced. Corbin's shop itself is heavily scented with the flavored tobaccos, and it's said that for visitors to find the shop all they need to possess a functional nose.

    Corbin dislikes conflict and will permanently ban anyone that causes him problems. He seeks to deal with everyone fairly, but is shrewd enough to know when someone is trying to take advantage of him. For these people he secretly mixes an ingredient into their tobacco that causes mild nausea, and this is usually enough to make sure that they don't bother to grace his shop ever again.
