THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Pustule

First seen: Book 2, Chapter 16

Level-30 Hobgoblin, proprietor of Hobgobs and Boom Sticks, the explosives booth at the Silk Road market inside the Desperado Club. Mordecai says she's a little odd but harmless, and that Carl and Donut will be seeing a lot of her. The first living hobgoblin Carl's met face to face: a large, muscular build, an open sore on her cheek weeping black and green ooze, and an unnervingly good ear for a woman who blows things up for a living.

NPC

Level

30B2C16

Physical

About six feet tall, built like the hobgoblin sample Carl saw during race selection: a large, muscular goblin that got clobbered by the ugly stick. An open sore on her cheek bubbles with black and green ooze that runs down her shirt, a threadbare pink graphic tee with a sunglasses-wearing unicorn on it. Smells of rot and sickness; her voice is surprisingly feminine, and her hearing is excellent enough to catch a whispered insult fifty paces awayB2C16

Location

Working her booth at the back of the Silk Road market, five or six empty spaces around herB2C16

Notable quotes

“Well, two cases of goblin dynamite and the last of the Hob-lobbers would be 1,500 gold. I’m sorry if that price is too ugly for you.”

Book 2, Chapter 16 (Pustule, quoting Carl and Donut her opening price, comma-before-attribution spliced to a period at the dialogue tag.)
