    Synopsis:

    The player discovers Thrumbo, a runaway zombie who escaped from his master, Mystic Carrion. Thrumbo tried to escape with threee 'brothers' (also zombie beggars), but the others got lost, so he's stuck waiting for them. He's hidden in the wardrobe, where the player can find him. If they mention Carrion, thrumbo will start a dialogue where the palyer learns about the existence of the canopic jar they need to destroy. If they don't mention Carrion, Thrumbo acts like a normal beggar, minding his own business.

    How to trigger:

    Interact with Thrumbo
