Daryl Borksnob

(a.k.a. The Court Mage with a Bob)

The party first encountered Daryl Borksnob The Court Mage With A Bob while trying to prove their innocence to Carissa Pinejumper in the murder of the investigative team,¹ though they did not know his name then. He took a liking to Fritz and her inventiveness, and the party schemed to allow him on a date with Fritz to steal his keys and access the Stonedeep Embassy file room.² The date went about as expected, and the lightweight Borksnob was very persistent in his attempts to get freaky time with Fritz before the party pumped him full of more vodka and he passed out.

Daryl's file in the Embassy listed him as a sort of detective investigator, who works at Carissa's beck and call to investigate potential political enemies and mark them and their assets for removal when she orders it done. He was tricked into believing that it was all his fault that the date went bad, but remained excited to get to work with Fritz on a professional level on the Embassy's new security system,³ perhaps in the hope of making amends.

Borksnob was closely involved with relations between the party's company and Carissa, and was usually the deciding factor in Carissa's trust of the party (testing equipment, overseeing sensitive operations, etc.) which is fortunate, as he had proven to be easy to manipulate. A shining example of this came in the form of the destruction of the Research Outpost in the mountains, when the party got him absolutely wasted and faked the event, but he was none the wiser.⁴ He also played a large role in uncovering dirt on Carissa, leading to her loss of her seat of power in the election, an endeavor he was willing to help with because of how poorly she treated him as a colleague.

The party lost track of Daryl when the Soular Power Caravan fled Stonedeep after the Vocantem, and they have heard no news of his fate since.
