Bomo

Bomo endures two deliberate punches from Edict in Zockau and escorts him back under accumulating safe-room penalties.

Story so far

Following Carl's instructions, Bomo remains inside the Zockau tavern. Edict punches him once, freezes for a minute, asks Bomo to wait, then attacks again and freezes for an hour.

The other hunters crowding the room are afraid of Bomo. Once Edict's second punishment ends, Bomo brings the merchant through the guildhall connection to Carl, unknowingly enabling the planned third offense.

Appearance

A giant rock monster returning from Zockau visibly tired and exasperated.

Role

Bomo is Edict's safe target for building the first two strikes and his escort to the final one.

Relationships

Edict — Edict attacks him twice to accumulate punishment tiers.
Carl — He follows Carl's strict instruction to remain in the safe room.
Zockau — Hunters sheltering there fear him.
