Sunny is a golden-haired halfling travelling merchant with two sturdy horses and a small stand of minor goods, whom the party met near Wyrmbough Grove in session 2 [9]. She took Cholmondeley’s three light crossbows and three scimitars for a hand crossbow and bolts, threw in a healing potion, and sold Vasquez an alchemist’s fire for his scimitar and 15 gp [6]. When Cholmondeley asked whether she could use a young assistant, meaning his ward Nancy, she told him “You can’t sell a child.” [8].
Overview
Sunny is a halfling travelling merchant, the party’s one trading stop in session 2. Gwen Homora had mentioned her as easy to find [4], and the party traded her the weapons it had taken from the dead bandits’ sacks in the corrupted grove [5][6]. She is a fair trader who gives something back for a good deal, and she stopped Cholmondeley short when he tried to find his ward a place with her [7][8]. She has not appeared since.
Appearance and demeanour
A very golden-haired halfling with an infectious smile, two sturdy horses and a small stand holding just about every minor item [9]. The DM said her stock was any Player’s Handbook item under 100 gold pieces, four alchemist’s fires and a single antitoxin [10]. She greets customers with “Well, hello there. What will it be?” [11].
Relationships
- Gwen Homora: pointed the party to her as a small gold-haired halfling [4].
- Cholmondeley: traded with her and asked whether she could take on his ward [12][13].
- Vasquez: bought an alchemist’s fire from her [2].
- Nancy: Sunny would not take her on as an assistant, and said the road was no place for a child [8][14].
- Fergus: a fan of his meat, which she finds “a bit chewy sometimes” but always comes back for [15].
Disposition towards the party
Warm and fair-trading. She offered one potion free “because you’re giving me such a good deal” [7] and gave ground on the price of the alchemist’s fire after a good Persuasion [16].
Notable quotes
“You can’t sell a child.” — Sunny, [8]
“It kind of sounds like you’re trying to sell a child.” — Sunny, [17]
“Oh, you’re looking for some trouble there.” — Sunny, on Vasquez’s choice of alchemist’s fire, [18]
History in the campaign
Session 2: The Bark, the Dryad, and the Riddle that Wasn’t a Tree
Main article: Session 2
Back in town with the bark samples, the party found Sunny as Gwen had described her [9]. Cholmondeley swapped three light crossbows and three scimitars for a hand crossbow and bolts, and she threw in a healing potion free [19]. Vasquez offered his own scimitar against the 50 gp price of an alchemist’s fire; on a Persuasion of 17 she took the scimitar and 15 gp [20]. Cholmondeley then asked whether she needed a young assistant; she objected that “you can’t sell a child”, and said the road was no place for one [21].
Status
As of session 23. Alive as far as the record shows. She has been off-screen since session 2, and nothing says where she travelled next.
