The Toeskinner

What — Old, scar-faced human; named specialist agent/torturer of Laewendas who severs, skins, and eats victims' toes, leaving them "foot-stumped" as living warnings (Session 40).

Threat — Unknown — never engaged in combat; no stats, attacks, or saves observed. Classed as a named agent in the villains' roster (Session 43), so treat as a meaningful encounter until proven otherwise. Do NOT improvise mechanics.

Observed abilities

• None in combat. Only seen performing his toe-skinning ritual while unaware of the party (Session 40).
• Works alongside an apprentice — a smaller, slower, clumsier copy with his exact face, mimicking his motions on a delay; Lash's Nature check confirmed "something has gone horrifically wrong" (magical replication/stitching, not a son) (Session 40). The pair operate in tandem with redundancy built in. Apprentice's capabilities also unknown.

Tactics & behavior — No combat behavior observed. Maintains a campsite at the northern bandit quarter of the Snatcher's Cave with pyramids of skinned and unskinned severed feet (Session 43); rests there between field missions like the other named agents. No flee/surrender trigger observed; whether he fears Fenric or spellbreakers is unknown.

Disposition to the party — Hostile by affiliation (Laewendas's agent), but no direct contact yet. Lash scouted him invisibly and was not detected (Session 40).

Status — At large, last seen Session 40 (scouted, not engaged).

SUMMARY: Laewendas's toe-skinning agent; never fought; no stats observed; at large.
