The Roach Herder
the recluse of refuse, throne of trash
HP 4, Morale 5
- Bite d4 + special, or
- Barbed Roach Whip d6
Special: Test Toughness DR12 or become infected.
Lore: A graverobber made hermit, statted as a creature because he will fight if cornered, and statted lightly because he would rather not. He sits on his throne of trash and would-be valuables, roach whip in grubby hand. "After being unable to escape the cursed graveyard, his party members eventually died, leaving him terribly alone. Now he breeds cockroaches, hoping to hatch one big enough to fly him back to the city he once rejected." An insecure liar and untrustworthy narcissist who values his own skin above all else.
See The Roach Herder (NPC entry) for full character, recruitment, and the only known way to navigate the fog-rearranged trails of Graven-Tosk reliably.

The "city he once rejected" is unnamed — Galgenbeck and Grift are both plausible. Whether a roach can ever grow large enough to fly a man out of Graven-Tosk is canonically unanswered; the cemetery's strangeness suggests it may already have happened to someone else.
