It is well established throughout the
Cantons that the hallmark of a successful borderlands home is the
placation of its hirsute house spirits, the Domovoy. But just as the
tidy familiar houses of humans have their cozy domestic fae denizens,
the warped dream-logic of the Weird dictates that many of the terrible
murderholes of that dread zone must also have a counterpart. One of
the most common of which is the danger-adverse Fobbit.
While careful to avoid bunking in
easily-accessible rooms in underground environs, Fobbit teams of 1d8
may be glimpsed in corridors hastily resetting traps, carefully
repainting blood smears, rejamming dungeon door hinges and other
assorted work.
An actual Fobbit lair will be a
heavily-barred and trapped locale usually located off a back
corridor, though the rich cook smells of gourmet hot grub may be
smelled as far as 10-80 feet away. A Fobbit lair will host 1d4 Remfs
(2 HD Fobbit commanders), copious barricades of paperwork and a
surprisingly luxurious smattering of consumer goods.
Love it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Looks like some good competition for the BLACK HOBBITS OF ANTILLIA !
ReplyDeleteOddly enough I stumbled across this recently
ReplyDelete"FOB: Forward Operating Base. Bigger than a COP, smaller than a superbase. A FOB can be austere and dangerous, but is more commonly provisioned with hot, varied meals, hot water for showers and laundry, as well as recreational facilities.
Fobbit: Combination of FOB and Hobbit. Derogatory term for soldiers who do not patrol outside the FOB."

Fobbits have a rich and abiding military tradition.
