About Nub

“Nub” can’t remember any other cognomen flung his way that was not a more unsavory insult, and so Nub he became as he grew ever so slowly amongst the clamor and grime of the kitchens of the Pattern Masters Guild. Mistreated was a state of being for the kitchen drudge, yet in spite of these hardships, Nub evinced a shrewd intelligence and clever fingers; so much so, that rumors abounded as to the certainty of his parentage belonging to one of the many notorious guild masters. This possibility only made life worse for Nub. The apprentice wizards took it upon themselves to both torment and teach Nub some rudimentary magics in an attempt to see if talent might surface that would prove telling. Nub outwardly showed mostly ineptitude, but learned much more than any could imagine until one day he felt competent enough to exact some measure of revenge. He succeeded in introducing both a potent soporific and an effective bowel relaxer into the stew, creating what he thought was a memorable experience for the entire guild membership. At the height of the evening’s events he purloined a minor folio of spells and some supplies, surreptitiously exiting the scene with a personal vow to one day return as a force to be reckoned with. His absence was noted by the bleary eyed masters two days later and additional vows were no doubt emphatically stated.
Nub has been on the run for three months now after learning about the Master’s lasting displeasure, attempting to find a group of adventurers that would serve as both protection and camouflage or, failing that, work in a place none of the guild members would frequent.
