The evolution of Olton 3 Fingers
From discussions on the Bardic Hearth Patreon Discord server
Alton begins life as Alton ten fingers as a powder smith. He is quite proud of having all ten fingers Some dude in a seedy tavern: You know that cocky bastard Alton ten fingers? holds up severed finger ain't so cocky now is he?
Elton, now nine fingers goes to the wishing well: wishes for like 20 more fingers
Wren: Disappointed dad face Mortaine floats down on obsidian wings: "dude no i'm not going to do that. you know what for that audacity I'm going to take 3 fingers from you.
Ilton, now six fingers: Leaves the well Somewhere along the way he loses half a finger, not to his job. He is now Olton five and half fingers and is quite particular about the half. He will waggle it in your face. Finally, on his last day before retirement, he has an accident and blows off two and a half (different half) fingers. Ulton three fingers: There is this wishing well in the Manglewood that can grant any wish, except more fingers it seems. Came out with less than I started with somehow. Morel: You don't say.
