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. 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. He was allowed into the group for the purpose of being their resident meat shield, taking and dealing the blunt of the damage of any conflicts they might appear in.

Characteristics

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 Bumbly 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 agressive 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.

Anytime a character is defeated by Bumbley, or a member of his party, he may use a basic attack on a target adjacent to him, even if it is not currently his turn.

Chivalry

Bumbley may jump to the aid of a nearby target, taking all damage they would have taken from an attack. If he finds the target he is protecting attractive, he may ignore the Stamina cost of this ability by using a creepy pickup line on said target.

Blockade

This allows Bumbley to raise up his shield preventing all damage to himself and anyone directly behind for a turn. He have to keep their balance while in a blockade. While blocking he cannot be moved, allies may move him against their will instead of moving themselves.
