Verla Pelc

Verla Pelc is the shopkeeper of Pelc's Curiosities in Palebank Village.

Description
Verla is introverted, only opening her store when the mood strikes her.

Frozen Sick
In 835 PD, Urgon Wenth returned to Palebank Village from Eiselcross with treasure that he collected from Aeorian ruins, which Verla purchased from Urgon for 1,000 gp. Among these treasure were two blue vials, which unbeknownst to either Verla or Urgon, contained the manufactured disease Frigid Woe, which Verla contracted upon handling. Shortly after buying these goods, Verla's store was robbed of them by Tulgi Lutan.

A few weeks after being robbed, Verla began to show symptoms of Frigid Woe, however she kept her condition secret. Around the time or shortly after Urgon succumbed to the disease, so did Verla, where she transformed into a statue of ice while bundled in her bed.

An adventuring party hired by the town's leader Elro Aldataur to find the cause of Urgon's disease investigated Pelc's Curiosities, where they found a group of bandits working for Tulgi and her sister Hulil Lutan rummaging through the store to find a possible cure, as the sisters had also contracted the disease. The adventurers also discovered Verla's body within her room.
