ishwicks

There is an old gnomish saying, “Don't wish on an ishwick,'' which means one shouldn't rely solely on luck. The saying comes from the fact that ishwicks fly without wings. Instead, these round furry beasties float on the air like balloons due to a unique gas-filled bladder. Ishwhicks even use this sort of flatulence to incapacitate trespassers who venture into their territory, often congregating near stalactites or inkpot spiderwebs so that any potential foes will float to their doom.

abilities

Floating Flatulence

Once every round, ishwicks flatulate causing Close and Nearby targets to uncontrollably float upwards, usually towards stalactites or inkpot spider webs (Vitality Check to resist).

vulnerabilities

Ishwicks can be blown away by a strong wind. They are also sensitive to certain unpleasant scents like the flatulence of trolls, wugs, goblins, boggarts, and boggles.
