Kus-Kus

Kobold Monster Hunter. Lives in Bavlo because it’s quiet, “but not too quiet.” Every Monday morning, well before dawn, Kus-Kus checks the caravan guild office for bounties in the underdark concerning great beasts and bandits who attack traders moving between cities. After they take the bounty home to their room in the Lion’s Share, they spend the week making traps for the next bounty.
