Mugsy Dangerford

Adversaries Designed by Hack Shack Gaming

Adversary overview

A thin, gray specter with a cracked lute and spectral bottles orbiting him like loyal fans. His eyes glow faintly as if backlit by stage fire.

Once the house bard of the Last Round Table, Mugsy stayed employed because the crowd enjoyed hating him almost as much as he enjoyed hating them back. When the tavern fell, Mugsy did not leave with it. His bitterness, unfinished ambitions, and warped talent bound him to the cellar below, where his music curdled into something cruel. Now he performs for no audience at all, draining warmth, sound, and joy from the tavern that refused to bow to him.

Treasure: Mugsy drops his Loathsome Lute when defeated.
