Is This Anything?

Meet Dr. X. F. J. Widdershin, DMin, ThD, NWAR, MEM, MBA, J.D., LL.M., DVM, DC, DDS, BSYD, MD, PhD, DPT, EMD, EMT-P, RN, CRTT, DD, ASA, FSA, CAE, IAEE, PE, APSS, CMP, MS, (Ret.) (Vet.) (Esq.) And Notary Public!

The good doctor always seems to be right where he's needed, right when he's needed. The townsfolk will insist he's always been there, but the townsfolk across the county line say the same.

His tinctures work, his inventions function, even the snake-oil seems to have a potency to them. And that one thing the party has been needing to finish the collection? It's right there, for sale, right next to a bottle of rat poison and three loose trinkets from a board game.

And if the party needs to ask any follow-up questions? He's already packed up and gone. The townsfolk will swear they've never heard of him.

(And he'll also notarize anything. He has a stamp.)

---

Do your players need a lead on that relic? The Doctor has one. Do they need an antidote before sundown? He mixed a batch this morning, funny they should ask. Do they need a reason to go left instead of right? He's got something for sale that'll sort that right out. Whatever your party needs to keep the adventure moving, Dr. Widdershin has it, has done it, or knows someone who has, and he's fully credentialed in all three. He's already set up in the next town! He's been expecting them!

Four men charged after ‘aggressive’ cold‑callers spark alarm in Mumbles and Gower villages

Officers moved in after multiple reports from concerned households who said the men’s behaviour left them feeling uneasy.

Raymond Turnbull, 34, and Liam Doherty, 32, both from Middlesbrough, along with 25‑year‑old Connor Peacock from Reading, have each been charged with acting as a pedlar without a pedlar’s certificate.

A fourth man, 31‑year‑old Ryan Steel from Stockton‑on‑Tees, faces the same charge and an additional count of possessing cannabis.

Detective Inspector Tom Richardson said the men’s behaviour had rightly raised concerns among residents.

“These four men aroused suspicion due to their behaviour and made local residents feel uncomfortable. We thank residents for their diligence and willingness to report this to police. Reporting to and engaging with the police is invaluable in helping us keep our communities safe.”

He urged people across Swansea to stay alert and report anything that doesn’t feel right.

“If you witness unknown individuals acting suspiciously in your area, please report it to us.”

The men are expected to appear in court in due course.
