Changeling Attendants

Mordecai's Attendants · The Six Attendants

Ruby and five other vulnerable changelings secretly hired into every available saferoom attendant slot to protect them from the previous floor's final battle.

Story so far

Mordecai is entitled to one personal room attendant, while Carl and Donut's space provides five more slots. He fills all six with Ruby and other changelings suffering compression sickness.

The children had already struggled to travel from the changeling village and faced likely death in the assault on the High Elf castle. Assigning them as attendants removed them from that danger and carried them safely into the new saferoom.

The rescue costs the party slightly more than one thousand gold per day. Mordecai conceals both the occupants and the expense, drawing the money from funds Carl supplied for provisions.

Appearance

Six young changelings gathered around adaptive game controllers in the party's protected saferoom.

Role

The attendants are rescued dependents whose safety creates an ongoing cost and a conflict over Mordecai's secrecy.

Relationships

Ruby — She is the first identified member of the group.

Mordecai — He hires and hides all six attendants.

Carl — His party funds unknowingly pay their daily cost.
