Marra Vex
| Dicey Dangers, The Creepy Creature of Vulture's Vineyard | Game by Joel Hills |
Marra Vex
Marra Vex works the reclaimed cellars and back galleries beneath the Lodge alongside Grog Trebonk, and she's the closest thing Vulture's Vineyard has to a foreman. Solidly built, forearms roped with real muscle, skin weathered by years in the sun and at the forge. She wears grease-stained overalls over a shirt gone dark at the collar and cuffs, boots built for work and not for looking at, dark hair escaping a practical ponytail down her back. She doesn't announce herself with a speech. She takes one look at whatever's broken and starts fixing it.
She keeps the Lodge standing as much as Grog does, maybe more, and everyone who's worked alongside her knows it, even if Grog's the one who gets thanked for it in front of guests. She has no patience for excuses and even less for flattery, but show up, do the work, and don't lie to her about it, and she'll treat you like you've earned a place. She's currently training an apprentice, Nestra Hollick, and she doesn't go easy on her, correcting her plainly whenever she gets something wrong. Nestra hasn't quite learned to hear that as respect yet.
She barely tolerates Jorvan Quill's theatrics and doesn't bother hiding it. Whatever Grog actually thinks of her, he's never said out loud, though anyone watching him go over the books after a season she's kept running could probably guess.
Actions
The Standard She Holds
Marra doesn't miss much. Leave gear in her way, half-finish a task, cut a visible corner, and she'll set down whatever she's holding and call you on it, plainly, the same way she corrects Nestra.
Social(1) or Body(1), Hero's choice:
- Success: own it plainly, no excuses. She nods once, that's the whole review, and slips something useful into your pack before you go: Clover Charm .
- Failure: she doesn't yell. She just puts you to work fixing what you broke. Add 1
