THE CRAWLER'S COMPANIONpatch notes for the apocalypse

Vernon

First seen: Book 3, Chapter 5

A dwarf, Level 32, the Yellow Line's train conductor, posted in car 5's Employee Break Room in a wrinkled uniform, drinking at the bar. Runs the train and technically oversees its staff, though the engineer ignores him, the janitors try to eat him, and the porters keep to themselves, leaving him mostly just riding it out with a bottle. Falls over himself once he clocks Donut as royalty, and turns out to be a deep well of information about the line once flattered into talking.

“Nope. It’s locked tighter than an elf’s bunghole. You need an engineer’s key to get in.”

Book 3, Chapter 5 (Vernon, on why nobody, including him, can get into the engineer's cabin.)

“No way I’m letting some greasy dwarf steal my magic gold supply while giving him such fine stroke material.”

Book 3, Chapter 5 (Vernon, explaining why he stays put at the yard instead of going home, despite not being trapped.)
