The Fairy Faire (name will vary by locale) is an annual event that occurs on a specific hill, for three days on the harvest moon (pick your own day if needed). Two diferent kinds of merchants are browsing the Faire - Greater Fey and Common Fey.
Greater Fey refuse to deal with anyone who doesn't have a Story Flaw. They are balanced with the goal of their bargains producing 2 vis of value. The prices exacted by the Greater Fey are designed to be troublesome to get or troublesome to handle. None of their demands should be more than a brief or simple adventure (5xp).
The Common Fey are affected by the Gift and avoid magi, but are happy to make deals with any human creature. Their requests are very simplistic, but what they give in return are rather simple and temporary things. They tend to offer masterwork items, bags of coins, or stories and art pieces from far away. They're not designed to be interesting to magi, unless they are looking for an item to enchant, or as a gift for a mundane.
The faun will offer a drink to anyone passing, and will refuse to bargain with anyone sober. Being drunk imposes a -2 penalty to any other rolls until morning. The Faun is a friendly and helpful faerie, but refuses to compromise.
"A pure maiden's kiss, left upon my lips..."
"Your very first kiss..."
"The item sold by (another specific faerie), as I love them so much..."
Something lewd offscreen.
This tortured ghost is wracked with pain and usually chained to a gravestone, monolith, or some other marker. He is seeking things to try and achieve a final rest. He will gladly accept a magus casting a spell to destroy him, but obviously this will leave no reward.
"I need a [something ephemeral] for my release." [The ghost of a sword, a whisper of death, thoughts of wickedness]
"Power, I need more power..." [Two pawns of vis of Imaginem, Mentem, Vim, Intellego, Auram.]
"I cannot remember my [event], so I seek your memory of it." [Major event - marriage, birth of child, death of child, Causes a point of warping in addition to the forgotten moments]
"Freedom requires I know [ability], and you clearly have no need of it..." [1 warping point, -15xp in chosen ability or related]
"A newly weaned child to carry my legacy." [Child becomes Faerie Blooded, the Ghost no longer appears in the future]
The Princess is only allowed out of her tower on these days every year. She will only talk with someone who seems nobility, or a very important servant.
"I need a new [crown, tiara, necklace, earrings, rings, bracelet] fitting my station!"
"I need you to deliver this letter to-" [Roll a die: 1-7 is a single letter, 8-9 is two letters, 0 is three or more letters. If the letter is not delivered, the Princess will not reappear until it is delivered]
"I am attending a [grand ball, unveiling, marriage, death] and I need a new and glorious gown!"
"A new servant for my tower, as the last one has withered and died..."
A gremlin-looking creature with large head and small body, whose maw can open to huge proportions.
Something valued and stolen
"I want something new, gimme yer next year of meals." [They cannot taste anything for a year.
"Gimme three rundlets o' moonshine."
"I wanna yer last good dinner... [He'll reach down the target's throat and pull it free, causing a medium wound unless something allows them to expel it safely.]
This is a small dryad who is stuck in a large potted sapling. She's the size of a child, and very temperamental.
"My sister, this sapling next to me, needs a new place to live. Transplant her to [distant location]."
"I need a [crown, cloak, robe] made of flowers and petals."
"My growth requires a large barrel of the finest spring water from a mountain peak."
This is a well-dressed wolf with a tall hat, clad in the most recent of noble fashions.
"I am having a party next month, and I require a full course spread."
"The hand of a noblewoman in marriage is required, to establish my line for the future." [He will not actually carry them off, but if they marry someone else, they become terrorized by faerie wolves. Future children may be kidnapped.]
"I am afraid my pack is restless, and need alliances. Would you have two young ladies who could marry into our bloodline?" [He actually wants female wolves or guard dogs.]
"I feel terribly uncouth, but I must demand three fingers for this beautiful item." [Recieve a light wound, and of course lose fingers.]
This is a drowsy cat with three tails. He talks. His name is different every time he is asked. He is usually asleep, and will refuse do deal with anyone who wakes him up. If left alone, he may call out to a passerby.
"Feed me sixteen large, fat, healthy [squirrels, mice, rats, birds]."
"Songbirds fly. Get me a pair of suitable wings."
"Get me a bowl of fresh cream. Quickly." [Conjured milk tastes foul. Milk that has sat overnight is unwanted. Anyone rushing to get milk from outside of the Faire will be beset by hungry (faerie) cats.]
"No thumbs. Open those jugs of fish." [The three jugs have stuck stoppered lids. Breaking the jars spills live fish out, angering the cat. Opening the jugs requires a Strength Simple roll, which they will fail unless spending a confidence point. Or, I guess, a 15+ roll.]
A rich and pompous noble court faerie whose language skills are imperfect. From a faraway land. Usually conversing with a group of sycophants and grovelers, drinking sweet cherry-flavored wine.
"I have been craving a good fight for decades. If you give me a duel..." [Fight to heavy wound, the Duelist has Single Weapon equal to the opposing duelist +3, up to 13. If they win or if they have a skill of 8+, then he is impressed.]
"My vile companions have brought only swill and bathwater to drink. I need a cask of wine worthy of my palate." [Any magical liquor will be claimed as swill, no matter how fine. Craft:Vinter of 8+ required.]
"I need a new sword of the highest quality. This one has a nick on the blade." [Must be a very fancy expensive blade.]
"I have been offended by a swine. Go deal with him for me." [The Duelist wants the players to kill another vendor, but no other merchants will talk to them afterwards.]
