Nib the Miser


 * This article is about a commoner found in Thither, a Domain of Delight in the Feywild. For the 15 century halfling spellcaster who lived around Phandalin on the Sword Coast, see Nib Addlespur.

Nib the Miser was a thin old man, who would wear a blindfold as to never see the shadows of the people he had wronged in his past life in Waterdeep.

Description
Nib appeared as an old man dressed in worn fancy clothing and a housecoat. While watching Nib work at his spinning wheel, spooky shadows would appear to lurk behind him. These phantoms would resemble the many different people he had hurt, wronged, or abused in Waterdeep. It was said that whoever stole any of the gold from Nib's cave, would be cursed in a similar way by terrifying apparitions.

Personality
Nib the Miser could be scared at even the smallest shadow or movement as he dreaded the terrible things he had done in his past life. Nib would never leave his cave because he believed that spinning his wheel would end his terrible curse.

Abilities
Nib had the ability to turn gold coins into all sorts of magical and mundane items. Among many magical items Nib was known to be able to weave with relative ease included an amulet of proof against detection and location, bag of holding, boots of elvenkind, bracers of archery, cloak of protection, gloves of thievery, wand of secrets, and a tiny hourglass which replicated the abilities of an air elemental gem.

Possessions
In Nib's small cave he had, among his small amount of basic needs; a pile of 27,213 gold pieces and a spinning wheel which he could use to spin into gifts for anyone who stumbled into his adobe.

Activities
Nib would spend all day sitting at his spinning wheel in his cave, weaving Enchantments into magical gifts for anyone who would come upon his dwelling. Nib could also knit and weave a mundane item not exceeding 1,000 gold pieces.

History
While it is unknown who exactly Nib had wronged in his previous life, some of the apparitions haunting him appeared as grubby child, a haggard coachman, a sad lady, and even a lanky gamin with an eye-patch.
