Magic Items and Enchantments
- Cloak - A magic cloak made by the dark elves for their younger members, this allows him to blend in with anything; be it rock, grass, or dirt or anything else around him. Even without his cloak, Nipa has the ability to hide almost anywhere.
- Boots - His boots made by the high elves allows him to run faster and jump higher. When walking he makes no sounds. His belt made by the dwarves increases what small strength he has by a small amount.
Because of the fire that killed many of his people, Nipa refuses to call on the fire spirit Salamander. Gnome & Undine are his favorite spirits to call, and he enjoys having them. His favorite spell to call is Gnome’s teeth, which causes stone spikes to shoot up out of the ground that stand six feet tall.
Nipa is a trader and he has an eye for nice things, though he does not have an ability to tell what is enchanted, but he usually has a good gut feeling that an items is enchanted or not.
PersonalityDespite Nipa’s warm and caring attitude, there are times he can be very cold and mean, especially when reminded of the past. He will at times blame the elves and dwarves for the deaths of many of his kin. The dwarves protected themselves in their caves and the elves in their forests when Lodoss was split. But the grassrunners were left out in the open and many died because of the war.
