Rory
Overview​
Rory is a Goblin Shamanka (Level 7) and co-leader of the goblin engineering workshop on Floor 1. She negotiated with Carl and Princess Donut to build the Goblin Copper Chopper in exchange for a supply of dungeon-made methamphetamine.
System Description (Goblin Shamanka)​
In case you're wondering, Shamanka is just a fancy way of saying female shaman. Goblin Shamans are the leader class of all goblin clans, second only to the War Chieftain or, more rarely, the Goblin Warlord. They are without humor and are said, as part of their training, to have to pick two of the following three actions in order to graduate Shamanka University: they have to fuck, cook, and/or eat their own parents. Most don't pick cook. And if that wasn't messed up enough, they specialize in Anguish Magic, a dark magic school designed to focus and enhance damage from other attacks.
First Appearance​
Book 1, Chapter 15
Description​
Approximately 5'3" — tall for a goblin, with well-defined muscles. Wears a jet-black robe and carries a wooden staff topped with a carved wooden pineapple. Her face is covered in approximately fifty piercings — an extreme body-modification aesthetic. Sharpened teeth. Pierced, forked tongue.
Despite her intimidating appearance and the dungeon system's characterization of Shamankae as humorless, Rory had a notable vulnerability: she was susceptible to Donut's charm effect. When Donut looked at her and made a gentle, curious comment about her piercings, Rory sat cross-legged on the floor and became cooperative almost immediately.
Role​
- Co-leads the goblin engineering workshop with another Shamanka named Lorelai
- Negotiated the Chopper deal: meth supply in exchange for a custom human-sized steam chopper, coal, and goblin grenades
- Ordered her engineers to build the chopper and directed the modifications requested by Carl and Donut
Relationship to Carl and Donut​
A brief but genuine connection formed — Rory let Donut sit in her lap and stroked her fur during the negotiation. Donut asked if Rory wanted to come with them. Rory declined.
