Ten Marlinko Townies To Annoy Your Party With




#

Name

Description

1

Mother Feketa

Mummified, animate matriarch who rules her tenement block from a tub of heated mud. Gives quests in exchange for gossip and scented soaps.

2

Pan Jaroslav the Blue

A melancholic duelist who fights only on Tuesdays. Claims to be 132 years old. Lives in a roofless manse.

3

Radu of the Clock-Spine

Hunchbacked watchmaker with a literal mechanical spine. Can rewind time 3 seconds—but only once a week.

4

Cousin Ondrej the Not Shark

Local loudmouth and self-proclaimed revolutionary. Knows every secret, none of them true. Smells like fish.

5

Auntie Lujza

Retired god-botherer. Still receives faint signals from long-dead deities. Collects divine offal.

6

Velko "the Slightly Transparent"

Permanently half-phased into the ether. Mostly helpful, sometimes screams with voices not his own.

7

Tatka and Patka

Siamese-twin tax assessors. One is lawful evil, the other deeply chaotic good.

8

Father Svoboda

Defrocked priest of the Sun Lord. Drinks heavily. Carries sacred honey cakes.

9

Anka the Sighing Widow

All five of her husbands died in tragic, yet somehow hilarious ways. Her tears summon minor spirits of pathos.

10

Bohumil the Devourer

Town bureaucrat with a vast appetite for paperwork. Secretly a minor demon of municipal efficiency.
