Phabula Phinphoom

The female gnome cackles madly, her bloodshot eyes bulging from their sockets. Her unkempt hair has obviously been burnt in several places, and black smudges stain her studded leather armor.

Phabula earns her keep as a robber and mad bomber for hire. Her boundless thirst for destruction is matched only by her sense of self-preservation. Consequently, Phabula finds work only with the most wicked of employers. This gnome is not pleasant to be around. Her volatile moods, scathing tongue, and complete disregard for the well-being of others couple with her intelligence and cunning to make her a dangerous adversary and an unpredictable ally.
