Drinking & Dragons

Wild:NPC/Ethyl

From Drinking and Dragons


Ethyl was the wench of the Pink Priapism in Great Fortress for 1 Tale of the Teleporting Tavern. She was a mostly-human woman who was very flirtatious and was surprised how the place was successful being run by the retarded NPC/One Thumb

She seemed to have vanished when One Thumb was killed, but in reality, she had turned into the dagger used to kill One Thumb.

She was no mere tavern wench, either. It was she that, at the behest of the Hag, sent the Pink Priaprism into the other world. A fairly powerful artificer, with a fully equipped laboratory, she was working in cahoots with the Hag.

Ethyl claims to be trapped in the dagger, with no idea what caused the transformation. The party agreed to aid her in returning to human form, but she is still a mystery, and is obviously withholding information from the party. Also of note: while in the dream realm, where each party member became their dream self, Ethyl remained a dagger.
