Dwarven Resilience. Marn has advantage on saving throws against poison and resistance to poison damage.
Description

Marn is a broad, elderly dwarf woman with russet skin, a shaved scalp, and a long white braid threaded with brass keys. She wears a weathered teal coat over practical leathers and walks with a polished iron cane.

Equipment

Studded leather coat, daggers, hand crossbow with 20 bolts, thieves' tools, guild signet ring, coded ledger, 18 gp

Hook

Marn offers the characters safe passage through the city's criminal quarter if they recover a stolen guild ledger before a rival syndicate deciphers its secrets.

Motivation

Marn wants to keep her guild's districts stable while preventing younger thieves from turning the organization into a tool for murder and extortion.

Personality

Gruff, attentive, and unexpectedly generous, Marn treats every promise as a contract but believes contracts should protect the powerless. She dislikes theatrical criminals and silently counts exits whenever she enters a room.

GM Notes

- Use Marn as a practical guide, fence, or reluctant patron rather than a frontline fighter.
- She honors the guild's code: no theft from the desperate, no killing for convenience, and debts must be repaid.
- Her ledger contains evidence that a respected magistrate secretly funds the rival syndicate.
