Clytemnestra "Fanny" Glitters

Born on the 25th of Summerfall, in 746-ishWA, Clytemnestra "Fanny" Glitters is somehow simultaneously the streetsmart cad and the ingenue of The Ladies' Hiking Club.

Physical Appearance

  Clytemnestra is dainty, yet curvaceous, possessing what some romantic fiction writers might unoriginally describe as a "heaving bosom" and "childbearing hips." She has clearly been very desirable to men for a long time, even though she is starting to show some age, which she attempts to obscure with dramatic makeup and a constant change and has a commendable collection of excellent wigs. Some of her aesthetic choices don't make much sense outside of would befit a Royal theatre production. It's difficult to tell what her appearance might be under all the carefully programmed dramatic elements, and this mystery is exactly to her liking.   Though half human, she is also half-elf, and has spent most of her life and career hiding that fact. Clytemnestra is very proud of her elven nature, but was taught from a young age by her full-elf mother to avoid discussing her elvishness, in order to give a wide berth to the typical suspicion and aggressive curiosity humans show toward elves. She has long, elven ears, which she obscures with wigs, headpieces (some from opera productions, some from circus pantomime, some from her high-wire act), and ample decoration. She dresses to suit the dramatic possibilities of the moment, and will change clothes and makeup and wigs frequently, sometimes to obscure her identity, sometimes to suit her mood, sometimes to escape trouble, sometimes to seduce, sometimes to annoy, sometimes to portray a character, and sometimes for some reason only apparent to herself.   Fanny is a member of the Guild of Knife-Throwing Ladies, the Illegal Club of Professional Card-Sharpers (Southern Unit) and the Union of High Wire Circus Wenches.

Personal History

  Born a Half-Elf perfectly normal human with regular ears in 746WA, 842WA, Fanny grew up in a loving family in the woods. The exact locations of her upbringing are unknown even to her, as her family was somewhat nomadic. In the late autumn of 866WA, Fanny came upon the ruins of Echadnaur and recognized that she had lived there for a time, likely as a teenager with her mother.   Her mother, an Elven devotee of Eldath would sing to her every night and show her around the wonders of the wilds every day. Her father, a Human and magic user of some description, would delight his beloved little girl with illusions and spark spells until she turned seven or eight. Her mother had always told Clytemnestra that her father was a hunter, and that they had met in the woods and fallen in love as he chased her about, trying to prove she existed.  

Disappearance of Father

  At some point in her youth, Clytemnestra overheard a commotion outside their ground sheet on a dark night. Urgent whispered voices sallied back and forth with her father's, and after the voices had ebbed, he roused her to tell her that he had to go away for a while, that there was something important to take care of. He entreated her to listen carefully to her mother and to stay close to her; told her he was proud of her; and that he would see her again soon. He never returned.  

Cirque Eleganté

  Despite his entreaties, Clytemnestra yearned for more excitement than leaves and bugs could offer. One fateful evening, a travelling circus came up the path near her camp. She disobeyed her mother and investigated, bewildered by the beautiful music, the costumes, the games and celebrations... was this what Humans lived like?   After hours of being enraptured by the show and losing any sense of stealth, Clytemnestra was cornered by the impresario of the circus. In turns engaging her excitement and wonder and provoking her fear that she had done something wrong by infiltrating the circus without a ticket, he proposed to her that she try to participate in a show. Just for a time, of course, to pay off a little debt and to see what it's like. That debt only ever seemed to grow from that date forward.  

Performing with the Circus

  Her natural dexterity and otherworldly beauty made Fanny an instant smash, and after just one night of daring, applause and flirtation she was sunk. She took the name Clytemnestra Glitters, childishly putting together what little she knew of Human mythology and her impression of the Circus, thinking that was probably an appropriate human name for someone engaged in this dazzling environment. In the end, she ended up going by "Fanny" more often than not within the circus family for reasons she did not fully understand and grew to hate. She became a fully-trained expert at trapeze and high-wire arts, pantomime theatre, comic opera (fully circus-trained in the art of bel canto), knifery, card-sharping, animal storytelling, costume design, and tent rope-knotting.   Over weeks, then months and years, the Impresario continued to build on Clytemnestra's roster of skills and performance styles. Acrobatics were a given. Then knife throwing and charming audience members. Charming people to join the audience. Charming men that might later join an audience. Charming men. Checking pockets for tickets. Checking pockets for money. Taking money from pockets. She was put to use at each circus stop, seducing the wealthy local bank managers and noblemen and their wives, stealing jewels, clockworks, silver items, and anything else useful to the circus or flashy and desirable to her.   In no time, the Impresario was as besotted with Clytemnestra as she was with show business. They became lovers -- not exclusively, of course, not in their line of work -- and remained so even as he reached a wretched old age. For nearly a century, Fanny's life was one of constant travel, adulation, glamour... and a quiet, steady love, of sorts, between flings for fun, power and profit.  

Seductions, Flings and Lovers

 
These buttons are so slippery!
--Clytemnestra Glitters
  The twenty-one wagon train of the Cirque Eleganté left a deep furrow between the peaks of Aildean and the glens of Fauchers, across the span of the entire continent. But that scar across the landscape was nothing compared with what Clytemnestra Glitters left across the hearts of men (and not a few women) in her century of passion and treachery. In nearly every hub of civilization across the continent, Fanny will know someone that longs to see her again, someone that longs to see her dead, and occasionally scores a twofer.   She has known love. Real love, transient as it might have been; but in a pinch she knows there are certain men across the continent that would do anything for her, even if they might swear otherwise before all the gods before being tested. Some of them are still young and vital, but by the sheer law of numbers most now are getting on in years, married, often with grandchildren.  

Pregnancies and Children

  Children are a difficult subject for Clytemnestra. She has long since lost count of her pregnancies and how they all ended, though she knows there must have been dozens. She has a remarkably poor recollection as to where her children went, and how often she may have actually given birth -- and particularly after the events of the Siege of Bridlip, she is more suspicious than ever that her staggeringly poor memory in this specific respect may have been induced.  

Escape from the Circus

  After the passing of the Impresario and his grandson's inheritance of the Circus, Clytemnestra found her status in the troupe much diminished. Her beauty having faded somewhat over the previous century, she found herself demoted to little more than a bar wench with an occasional turn on stage for a trip on the tightrope. In a fit of spite after the new impresario merely rattled an empty wine glass at her while necking with a new contortionist, Clytemnestra resolved that her time at the Cirque Eleganté had at long last come to its end.   In the dead of night, with the new impresario drunk and snoring, she stole fistfuls of cash, jewels, a brooch that she'd stolen on a special mission long ago and had long envied, and ran off. She ran in the opposite direction as anyone would expect: into The Corran Empire and any number of outstanding warrants, instead of the Halfling villages that would have afforded her more opportunities for travel, or home into the deep woods.   She flirted her way through the customs gate at Bridlip and found herself arriving just moments before a vicious siege began. Within minutes, she was hustled, heels clicking on cobblestone, into a stable for safety. In that stable were the other elderly folks of the town, as well as the other women that would soon become known as The Ladies' Hiking Club.  

Supernatural Origins

  Clytemnestra and her newfound comrades sought shelter from the siege in the catacombs beneath the Bridlip chapel. Those catacombs were discovered to be an ancient Yishanim biosphere housing a "Lantern": an artifact said to seal in a part of the archlich Naraoch's physical form. After defeating some cultists that tried particularly hard to kidnap rather than kill her, the group questioned a nearly exsanguinated Gnomish mage known only as "Bob" left for dead at the scene as to what was going on. He suggested that Fanny was the "Second Phylactery": a hereditary backup vessel of Naraoch's blood stored for the future use of her cultists in rescuing her from any such treachery as the Lantern represented. He was deeply relieved to find her alive and unmarried, satisfied that with her in his protection the line of Naraoch was at last at an end.  
"What's so funny?" -- Bob
  Clytemnestra doubts every syllable of this extremely unlikely story.  

Drama in the Wandering City

 

Friendship? With Thalia Overmere

  Clytemnestra landed on the Shell with a splash (though not one comparable to Vega's) by immediately ingratiating herself with Baronet Beauregard Benne, whom she discovered promptly was the fiancé of Thalia Overmere. After a compelling dialogue on her exceptionally interesting past as a circus performer -- he made her as one, but supposedly couldn't place which circus -- she was invited to that evening's performance of The Sack of Gosmerley in the Overmere box.   Fanny was subjected to rigorous testing, informal grilling and at last, in the courtyard of the Frasca family estate, an outright interrogation complete with contact truth serum. Miraculously, through a combination of her own will and ability to lie and Thalia's technically imprecise questions, she managed to survive the crucible and come off as a liar rather than a spy or assassin -- but an entertaining and harmless one.   Having had a few too many, Thalia retired for the evening and insisted that she required Fanny's services as a personal shopper in the Tenth quarter of the Shell. As Corran royalty, she was of course not welcome there and their fashion is world-leading. Thalia's maid-in-waiting, Sarah (if that is in fact her name), was not shy about emoting her distrust and resentment of the interloper. The following day, after The Ladies' Hiking Club undertook a midnight escape from The Scarlet Squid Public House, she returned to formally be hired by an individual in royal livery at the Frasca estate to proceed to Cloakacre and to obtain a new outfit for the opening of a new opera in one week's time. That timing sets the delivery for 25th Winterfall: a Stille'en opening and an important time for glamorous public appearances.   Roughly a week later on 23rd Winterfall, 866WA, Fanny returned to Thalia with a handful of outfits and a bone to pick. There had been a recent ambush and Thalia was a main suspect. After an extended conversation, Fanny concluded that it was very unlikely that she'd ordered the hit on the group. And then, to her surprise, Thalia dropped the pretence of frivolity and sought to enlist her as her new personal assassin, her own having been killed in the ambush. (Thalia had no way of connecting Fanny to those events.) A back-and-forth ensued and Thalia was enchanted by Peaseblossom at Fanny's behest into trusting her implicitly for a few minutes. The resulting few minutes were a dramatic, heart-rending soliloquy on her loneliness, her impotence, her wretched position in life and her unwillingness to give up and lie down for Emperor Kern Overmere and her other brothers. She was committed to fight and even sought Fanny's help in assassinating the emperor. Stunned and not a little turned on by the embers of her ferocity, Fanny reluctantly kind of agreed?  

Burglary of the Bishop's Estate

  After receiving a tip from a peer in the Guild of Knife-Throwing Ladies shortly after arriving in the Wandering City, Fanny agreed to knock over the estate of Bishop Veno: the local mucketymuck in charge of the Church of Tyr and Thalia Overmere's main personal benefactor. The event was bloody but efficient. In all, five soldiers and three civilians (two rugged-looking men and a proper Halfling valet) were killed, each by the single plunge of an acidic dragonfang dagger to the neck.   The venue had a few secrets to reveal, described further in the Bishop's page. After obtaining her score, Fanny implored three servant women to leave the estate with her. Uncomfortable with departing with a bloodsoaked woman carrying stolen goods and having murdered several of their friends, they agreed to run away but not with her. In her haste, Clytemnestra was a bit careless in the course of her escape, lumbering away in full sight of a side street without having changed clothes.  

Meeting Violet Verihendrion Miller

  Upon returning to The Lamplight Inn, Fanny dropped her ill-gotten gains off in the attic apartment and was confronted by Vega Spritzer, who had jarring news: she believed that she had located one of Fanny's children. Fanny was stunned and repeatedly cut Vega off from her exposition, demanding to know where this supposed daughter had been found. Once she heard that it was in a temple of Eldath and with a woman named Janet, she burst down the stairs and froze upon seeing a stunning blonde with disguised ears at the bar.   With uncharacteristic tenderness, sincerity and vulnerability, Fanny explained the situation as best she could to Violet Verihendrion Miller, who did not accept her purported mother's story until her secret Elven name was spoken aloud. She became very agitated until a tea-scented sneeze from Peaseblossom seemed to calm her nerves for a spell. Violet was not unreceptive, but she was exhausted and overwhelmed, concluding that she had to leave and ask some other people some questions. She made Fanny promise to be in the Lamplight the following evening for dinner -- leaving her precious little time to count, divide and fence the Bishop's property before having to return to the port side.  

Exchange with the Guild of Knife-Throwing Ladies and Dinner with Violet

  Fanny spent most of the 19th of Winterfall dividing up her loot with the Guild, largely passing a passive-aggressive interrogation into the burglary. Its Matron knows that Fanny kept some stolen alcohol undeclared at a minimum, but given the sizable overpayment of her tithe and the understanding that the alcohol might not have "counted", she agreed to let it slide. (For details of the haul, see entry for Adalberto Veno.)   Fanny returned to the Lamplight just in time for a wonderful dinner with Violet, who was surprisingly receptive to the invocation of adventure and excitement. Once she'd left, Fanny discussed her with a smitten Vega in the doorway, while both of them neglected to recall that the gentleman at the adjacent table was Torwall's Patron. When it appeared that he had left to stalk Violet -- which he did -- the two of them and Beulah worked their way through darkness spells to catch up with him in a new form at Sister Janet's temple. Vega picked a fight and despite the party's best efforts, she was ultimately seized as collateral by the demon demanding action on the IOU.   Fanny helped a disconsolate Beulah into the temple, where she discussed Violet's future with Sister Janet. In the course of that conversation Fanny discovered that Violet has some training as a cleric in addition to her bardic schooling. Both women agreed that Violet would make her own decisions, but Sister Janet consistently interfered with Fanny's attempts to encourage or invite consideration of departure with them. She expressed her gratitude to Sister Janet for her excellent work in bringing Violet up, which Janet accepted without a hint of modesty.   Clytemnestra bid the Eldath clergy good night and helped Beulah home to bed. She was awoken in the middle of the night by Vega beating down the fire exit of the Lamplight. She received a big hug from the death cultist once the door was opened, and was promptly told to shut up and sit down because a plan was brewing.  

Urgency, But Make it Fashion

  That plan, however, would have to wait until Vega got some sleep, so in the meantime she very altruistically took Beulah out on a very expensive shopping spree to House of Harriet Fashion on the Starboard Metro. She returned to give a remarkable vocal performance along with Charity Milkbath, covering up for an uncharacteristically disastrous performance by Beulah.   The following day, The Ladies' Hiking Club had a brief negotiation with Torwall's Patron and proceeded to Wakecrest to attend the investiture ceremony for Gavinus Garland. On the way there, they stopped to do some more shopping and Fanny and Violet dove into some good old-fashioned mother-daughter bonding with a very successful shopping trip in which Violet explored a more expressive side of her personality and the "fun" of money. The trip as a whole was a bit of a drag, however, as the ceremony evolved into an Ambush at Commissioner's Hall. Violet was badly hurt and Fanny was instrumental in incapacitating Carrie Quattrociocchi and getting her daughter out of there in one piece.   On the train ride home, a clearly shaken Violet had some thinking to do about the risks she would face in the future either with her mother or on her own. Fanny took the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart with her about the dangers of the world and the necessity of being strong and cunning enough to make one's way in it.   Crashing at the Moons Inn after finding The Lamplight Inn partially blasted to bits in their absence, Fanny resolved to head out the next day to speak to Torwall Ignus. The terms of their negotiation with Torwall's Patron were such that Beulah could not communicate with him, directly or indirectly, so Fanny took it upon herself to take Vega and to speak with him on their own behalves. On the way to the Moons, Fanny encountered Tara Thessaly and obtained a "cog" in the form of a cushion-cut emerald. After successfully bonding with her fellow thief, she determined that the "cog" was to be put to some use in the Anthur-Ro library, and that Torwall was involved in some way with an Assault on Anthur-Ro.   She liked him already.  

Solo Adventure in the Port Metro

  The next morning, Fanny set out to speak to Torwall. After some initial awkwardness -- his husband the City Alderman was not keen on meeting friends of friends from the days on the other side of the law -- Fanny found herself swept away by his humour, his kindness and his naked contempt for pricks like the mages at Anthur-Ro and his former patron. He said all the right things about the importance of keeping Violet safe and confirming that he had taken steps decades prior to ensure that his final release from bondage also protected Beulah and his other friends. She felt comfortable leaving Violet in his care and later that night encouraged her to stay there while she made a final decision about where she was headed.   Later that evening, Fanny followed up on a vacant apartment she'd clocked on the way over. After an embarrassing little episode involving an inversion and a display of her smallclothes to the passersby in the Port Metro, she managed to squeak into a well-appointed apartment and take a look around. There were obvious signs of a struggle and valuables that had been left behind. Before too long, she had discovered a secret passage behind a bookcase up to a concealed attic space. The space was large enough to house a large iron cell with ten feet of clearance on each side. Black cloaks, obsidian pendants and ten-foot candlelighters littered the outside space, while the interior featured a rickety chair, a table with sado-sexual implements on it, and a large sigil to Azas on the floor.   Fanny took a necklace, busted into a safe room on the main floor (extracting a list of likely cultists as well as some valuables), and promptly burned the building down. She realized too late that the other door, accessible by stairs, had been guarded by Corran infantry and laughed riotously as one came through after her, slipping on the alcohol accelerant and falling into a puddle of ethanol and broken glass. She determined that this was the home of Jackson Figg, and deduced on the road on the walk home that, given the poster on the door indicating the Church had sealed the apartment, Figg was likely the unfortunate victim of Adalberto Veno's fatal interrogation in the basement of his manor.  

Stille'en

  For her first Stille'en away from the Circus or a suitor unwittingly funding the same, Fanny produced fascinators for the rest of her crew. She said a fond farewell-for-now to Sister Janet and Violet, the latter of whom agreed to go to an undisclosed location so that she could not be found through Fanny. She had worked out a rough means of communicating with Vega while Fanny was out knocking over Figg's apartment, though it was also deduced that a Sending spell would do just as well.   As darkness fell, The Ladies' Hiking Club proceeded to commence The Assault on Anthur-Ro. In the sewers below the mage tower, the group encountered a pair of basilisks that managed to petrify Fanny. Once they had been disposed of, Vega managed to whip up a quick potion extracted in part from their eyes and returned the rogue to service.   Later during the assault, the group entered the Hall of Events Non-Canonical, and in the course of puzzling that space out, discovered that they could demand audience with the dead. Fanny summoned up Carrie Quattrociocchi and, after a brief, intense and ultimately hilarious food fight (the shades could interact almost exclusively with food items) struck a deal with her: the identity of her employer for a message to be sent to Yorick Quattrociocchi. It took some doing, but the results were these:    
  • Yorick was to be told that he should be a shepherd.
  • Carrie did not know the exact identity of her employer. It was not General Kuzoh, whom she did not know, or Thalia Overmere, with whom she had a personal friendship. Instead, she was retained by an officer of the Corran army. She shrugged at the suggestion that this meant she had been retained by another Overmere, like Decima, Fluvia or Camilla.
  Fanny attempted to recall the soul of her long-lost father through the Demiplane, but the request seemed almost to overtax the arcane energies of the place after Carrie and Joshua Bridle had already been recalled. The chocolate fountain ceased operating, the candlelight flickered, and several Unseen Servants seemed to puff out of existence, leaving tongs and brooms clattering to the floor.   The party then proceeded, after exiting The Non-Canonical Demiplane to venture through the catacombs beneath Anthur-Ro. They made their way through -- Fanny being rendered temporarily nude after an underground swimming experience -- to the prison cells where they encountered Tarts McGillicuddy and "Bob". There was a very brief period in which the relative truth of their stories were assessed before it was determined that Bob was the traitor to Anthur-Ro, and to the party. He was working with Decima and Kuzoh all along, and was seemingly dedicated to the cult of The Silent Men. He threatened Fanny that "she's going to bleed you like a pig, you know", which prompted her to strike at him through the bars. He managed to dodge her momentarily in her rage, but he did not expect a telekinetic attack from Chantrelle at the same time, shoving him back through the absent rear wall and into the eternal abyss.   (While in the cells, Fanny also managed to pick up a little crush on Harrison Craig, a kind and articulate psychopath in prison for virtually every crime known to man and magic. But that will be for another day.)  
The Club freed Tarts and escaped through the library atrium after having recovered a book on phylacteries and some odd schematics selected for them by the Inside Team. The mages of Anthur-Ro were in hot pursuit, but fortunately the party was able to escape by sliding down the steep peak on shields and backpacks. Tarts, unfortunately, was unable to hang on to Vega's shield and fell quite a distance, hitting every rock on the way down and meeting his end at the bottom of a deep crevice in the bone/rock. Fanny was deeply distraught at her former and current saviour -- he had gifted her the anti-scrying necklace that had saved them so far and that was thwarting the current pursuit -- being abandoned in a pit, but after his death was confirmed by Eldath herself, she reluctantly agreed with Beulah's directive to stay put and to avoid drawing attention by going after him.   She allowed herself a bit of sleep at that point, but was roused by a harrowing nightmare of being sacrificed before another Lantern by Decima Overmere and The Silent Men. She felt in her bones that the dream was real, that it really happened -- but after seeing the thickness of her hands and the terrible blue nail polish on her bound hands, she concluded that while this nightmare might actually have occurred, it had likely happened to someone else.   Once the group returned to the perimeter of the Shell, it quickly became apparent that Lucida Baldelli had arrived as the Club's escort to Nessardine. The resulting panic over a reaver fleet swarming the Zaratan gave Fanny cover to slip away in an attempt to pilfer some small amount of Reghyxesh's private stash. She successfully navigated the sewers to find it once again, but came face to face with the balloon goblin itself. After exchanging harsh words about the quality of the intelligence and the planning that went into The Assault on Anthur-Ro, Fanny was effectively brushed aside and directed to Torwall Ignus for any complaints. She was further instructed to turn all the intelligence they gathered over to him.  
Clytemnestra's contacts came in very handy as the "raid" ensued, as she was able to enlist the assistance of an old friend, a defrocked Aildean monk by the name of Glandy o'Fives to give the ladies cover in the Freaks Quarter while they put together a plan. Ultimately he connected them with Mikhail, a sour and bereaved Aildean exile that offered them passage to the reaver fleet. He had business with Lucida Baldelli and intended to avenge his brother upon her. He chickened out but the ladies got to the Gutterpunk just fine.   Fanny's Voyage to Nessardine was an eventful one, involving a number of drunken fights, passionate romance, a brief pass as an amateur shipwright, and a striptease for a dangerously appreciative audience of bloodthirsty reavers.  

Lovers in Dangerous Times

Cedric Rustapot

  Shortly after emerging from the Yishanim ruins, Fanny came upon a curiosity shoppe and began plying her trade in full force against its owner. There was a Luckstone on display, and she intended to walk out with it. Although she very successfully seduced Mr. Rustapot, her quasi-chaperone Bob cast Sleep on the poor Hobbit to avoid his being taken advantage of. Fanny helped herself to the Luckstone and a few more trinkets around the shop before leaving early in the morning. Cedric was spotted speaking to the town constabulary the next morning.
Shortly after a group meeting to discuss her sticky fingers (i.e., shoplifting, don't be gross) a spat broke out between Fanny and her harshest critic in decades, Cherry Merrybottom, at the conclusion of which it was revealed that Cherry had stolen a ruby ring Fanny had found in the catacombs and carved the team's initials into the inside of the band. Clytemnestra wears the ring nearly every day.  

Matthew Legge

  While not a conquest of Fanny's per se, she was a prime mover in the plan to encourage shy but talented local jeweller Matthew Legge to speak with the object of his affection, Elsa Cooper. She suggested that he console her in her grief after the siege, and helped herself to two exquisite ivory carvings in exchange for two large opals she left behind. Decima Overmere, speaking to Fanny in the The Non-Canonical Demiplane, hinted that Matthew was not at all happy with how his venture with Ms. Cooper turned out.  

Seamus Cowbell

  In the course of surviving a particularly nasty ambush just outside the seaside town of Lakeshore, Clytemnestra fell precipitously in love with one Seamus Cowbell: a traveling companion she had met two days prior on the road, and who had acted quite bravely in killing a (badly wounded) Orc with a thrown rock to the head. She had insisted that the two would be wed; and he was certainly game to marry the sultry giantess that had sashayed into his life. After the messy incidents of her adventuring life caught up with her (in the form of having to flee town to avoid a search party from Anthur-Ro) the two reluctantly broke off their engagement but remain friends.  

Lochlan White

  At the end point of their journey from Bridlip to the Wandering City, Fanny sought to obtain inexpensive passage to the Zaratan. She found her mark in a shy but suspicious young Corran citizen. She convinced him to allow her and her "chaperone" Beulah Garland to share his chartered boat to the city. Over the course of their discussions, Lochlan identified Beulah's accent and was not satisfied with the women's remarkably persuasive arguments as to who they really were. Every sentence seemed to dig themselves in deeper and ultimately the end of the ride was passed in silence before this remarkable man possessed of an essentially preternatural bullshit detector. He sought aid from the Corran military upon arrival and was laughed at and ridiculed for falling for an easy grift. He turned to Fanny, swore violent revenge, and stalked off into Rightfin.  

The Hobgoblin Who Got His Dog’s Throat Cut And His Balls Almost Torn Off

Clearly without intending it, it appears that Fanny had an amorous effect on The Hobgoblin who Got his Dog's Throat Cut and his Balls Almost Torn Off. Upon encountering his shade in the Hall of Events Non-Canonical, it was revealed that he was furious at Chantrelle for having killed him. He indicated to Fanny, however, with a wink and an obscene gesture alluding to the manipulation of his gonads that "you and I are all right!" As they parted ways, he recommended that she continue on with her adventuring ways so that she'd be sure to die young and beautiful. The sinister undercurrent was absolutely lost on a flushed Fanny, who was stuck on daydreaming about whether he could grow at will or if it was just some stupid magicky thing.      

Zie

  A gravelly voiced sword-and-board reaver from the East Marshes with passable nautical skills and a predilection for saucy ladies, Zie emerged the winner of a below-decks bar fight for Clytemnestra's attention aboard the Gutterpunk. He insists on calling her Clytemnestra, finding the word difficult and exotic. After a torrid fling aboard ship lasting some three weeks, Fanny was head-over-heels in love with him, and he respectfully fell just short of insisting that he would desert to come with her and watch over her on her dangerous adventure. Fanny insisted that he watch over the group and not favour her in the event of danger, but he resisted making that promise. His word, he explained, means a lot to him and he will not make promises he cannot keep. He accompanied Fanny to Nessardine and is presently the "tank" of the Hiking Club.
