"K4!"
— Bumbley/K4

Bumbley the Hill Dwarf (/bʌmbəli/), Dwarf Number Three, Kobold Number Four or K-4 is a male Dwarf played by Justin in the Roamin's Band of Thieves campaign.

Characteristics

Appearance

Bumbley is a male Dwarf with a muscular build, a long, thick brown braided beard, and green eyes. Bumbley wears a black undershirt, blue pants, a green tie in his beard, brown shoes and gloves. Like other members of the Thieves Guild, Bumbley wear a golden broach and a red sash around his waist. For combat, Bumbley wears sleeveless Steel Plate Armor with "K 4" written in black on his pectoral muscles. Bumbley also wears a metallic helmet that has horns attached to it.

It was later revealed through Dankie's Crystal Flat Screen that Bumbley is notably very hairy all over his body. It is unknown if this is due to prolonged living conditions with the Monkey Fishes, or simply Bumbley's natural look.

Personality

Bumbley originally started out as a simple Dwarf, being the quiet unappreciated fourth member of the Thieves Guild. He was often berated and confused as to what the group wanted him to exactly do. It was not until he performed valiantly against a group of hostile Kobolds that his role as the main fighter in the group became clear. Yumi and Squinks, however, preferred to continuously demoralize him by renaming him to Kobold Number 4 and demoting him to be under the command of Philhipé the Kobold. After being renamed to Kobold number 4 Bumbley nicknamed himself K-4 and decided that he wanted everyone to start calling him that. As the party progressed through their adventure, K-4 developed a stronger personality and became more aggressive towards Yumi (played by Roamin). K-4 becomes very hostile towards Yumi after asking her to use the name K-4 but Yumi still taunted him by calling him his full name, Kobold number 4.

Relationships

Monkey Fish King

After the events of the Roamin's Band of Thieves campaign and during the events of The Many Gobos of Pat, it is seen that Bumbley was residing with the Monkey Fish King, while receiving a back massage.

History

Background

He was allowed into Yumi's Band of Thieves for the purpose of being their resident meat shield, i.e. taking and dealing the blunt of the damage of any conflicts they might appear in.

Roamin's Band of Thieves

He introduced himself to Yumi's thieves as Bumbley the Hill Dwarf, but offered them to change his name. After much discussion, they settled upon naming him Dwarf Number Three. After their party expanded to house Philhipé the Kobold, the group renamed him to be Kobold Number Four, to which he decided to nickname himself K-4.

The Many Gobos of Pat

When Dankie received a crystal flatscreen, Dankie accidentally revealed the fate of K-4 through the crystal flatscreen, presumably after the events of Roamin's Band of Theives. Bumbley was in a grotto with the Monkey Fish King while behind massaged by the King, completely nude.

Fate

After the disastrous battle with Gwyneth Sunsword in the elven town, K-4 and the unconscious Gracias escaped down the town well. While the current whereabouts of Gracias are unknown after the conclusion of the Band of Thieves campaign, K-4 ends up residing with the Monkey Fish King in luxury in his Grotto.

Trivia

• There is a superstition that whenever K4 is brought up in a campaign, that the players will roll 4 an abnormal number of times. It is called "the Curse of K4."
• Bumbley's renaming to Kobold Number 4/K4 might be a reference to Douglas 3 (normally referred to as D3) from the Original Unforgotten Realms web-series.
