Kalgor the Gemcutter
Kalgor is a retired wanderer, a Dwarf who happens to prefer living on the surface rather than underground. This may be related to the fact that his vision is not as acute as it is for most dwarves; he uses spectacles even in daylight, and can see no further than 10 ft. in the dark.
Kalgor does not under any circumstances agree to join an adventuring party. His income mainly comes from occasional work as a gemcutter; rough gemstones found in the area usually make their way to his worktable eventually before they are sold in the outside world. Kalgor appraises a gem for payment of 10% of its value (he is honest and accurate with his appraisals). He buys gems for 90% of value (the appraisal still costs 10%, though), and sells a gem for 110% of its value. At any given time, Kalgor has 1d4+6 gems available for sale. Roll 1d10 for each gem to determine their value:
1–5 20 gp gem (sells for 22 gp)
6–7 50 gp gem (sells for 55 gp)
8–9 100 gp gem (sells for 110 gp)
10 250 gp gem (sells for 275 gp)
If Kalgor is hired to re-cut a gem so as to increase its value, he charges 10% of the gem’s initial value to make the attempt, and tells the characters up front that they run the risk of the gem being ruined. If they still want him to re-cut the gem, roll 1d10 on the table below to determine the result:
1 Gem is ruined and is now worthless.
2–4 The gem is not ruined, but its value declines by 20%
5 The gem is not ruined, but its value declines by 10%
6–7 The gem’s value increases by 10%
8 The gem’s value increases by 20%
9 The gem’s value increases by 50%
10 The gem’s value increases by 100%
