Wrapping up the last part of +Michael Curtis's A Single Small Cut we hear Vares pew-pew the monster, Castor bathe in the adoration of his followers, and Turge engage in questionable Russian accents. Also, there are many, many (too many) 'inside' jokes.

Special Traits

• Let me get that for you, Sir: Merrick can, with a DC 15 Sleight of Hand check, produce any mundane item that would reasonably fit in a backpack.
• My Fault, Sir: Merrick can grant advantage on one Persuasion check. This ability recharges after a long rest. 

Actions

• Club: Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) bludgeoning damage
• Part of the Scenery: If Merrick stands perfectly still his bland appearance can cause the eye to skip right over him. As an action, as long as he is standing next to a wall or off to the side and does not move, Merrick can make a Stealth check with advantage to disappear.
