Marble Man Traitor's page

"I've been wisely instructing a local pigeon how to find the best fish scraps in Hammingbell. He had also become good at pecking out the eyes of any nefarious bandits that threatened the peace and security of our lovely home. Are you trying to tell me that my pigeon-apprentice may have been taken? Pigeonapped? Do they know what happens to those who cross my friends? Let's leave at once!"

From under a floorboard at the Red Light, Marble grabs his trusty greataxe "Pinefeller" and his mithril shirt "Neverrust", and declares himself ready to depart, still naked from the waist down.

Marble's entire 10,000 coin budget was spent "polishing" and "sharpening" these two pieces of equipment, upgrading them from +1 to +2.

A small goblin staggers into the bar, alarmingly childlike, but with the ancient battle scars of an elderly orc. He is completely naked except for a series of hand puppets, one on each hand. Both puppets have been made out of the last remaining scraps of his own clothing. Neither resembles anything remotely recognizable and are instead a fairly bizarre mishmash of googly-eyes, food stains, and grass hair.

Marble speaking to himself using his left-hand puppet: "Marble, I will never leave you! You'll be my greatest friend! You can call me Furgle!"

Marble's voice through the right-hand puppet: "Goblin! You will never be good enough! You're a waste of planar space! Why did you summon me here? I despise this existence!"

Marble: "I know, but maybe if you tell me your name, we can learn more about each other"

Right-hand Puppet: "I am Lixhressbhaldan the Tearbringer, Boiler of Tongues, Bandit of Young Souls"

Marble: "Hi Lixhressbhaldan. Once we spend more time together, I think you'll find I have a winning personality."

Furgle with Marble's Voice: "Furgle! Furgle! I need my tongue to gurgle!"

Lizhressbhaldan with Marble's Voice: "FOOLISH BEINGS!"

Startled, Marbles pees just a little onto the tavern floor then slumps into a corner, still naked, and ever so hopeful that an old friend might appear.
