THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Burgundy

First seen: Book 2, Chapter 18

Not human at all, it turns out: a krasue, human by day and one of the hanging, headless corpses by night. A former prostitute lured to the settlement by elves with a lying promise of work at the Desperado Club, then handed over to Remex, who twisted her into what she is now. Found by Carl and Donut mid-transformation in the aftermath of the blast, her legs already burned to charcoal by Carl's fireball. Begs them not to heal her, since healing would only return her to the curse, and gives up what she knows about Remex, Miss Quill, and the krasue before the collapsing building kills her; Donut delivers the mercy kill with a Magic Missile.
