Origin Powder alchemist of Serravel

Tamsin was the youngest guildmaster in Serravel, famous for her carnival fireworks over the canals. When the Feastmaster ordered charges to burn out the quarters behind on their food tithes, she loaded her best brass cannon onto a barge and left by night. Nakrai stopped the barge for tribute and found a guildmaster with a lit match; they traded powder for passage and parted friends, once. Finding the made-folk Drevik with her powder packed behind his chest plate, she taught him how much to pack instead of reporting him. Now she fires sticky charges and rolling cannonades, and leaps clear on a puff of sulphur. Festivals are her office; the Feastmaster has never paid for a feast.

Tamsin invented this reckless maneuver while escaping over Serravel's rooftops when the Feastmaster's men raided her powder workshop. She angles her bell-mouthed brass cannon straight down at the paving stones and touches the smouldering slow match on her left wrist to the touchhole. The thunderous orange backfire launches her high into the air, crashing down into the densest enemy cluster with a cloud of choking yellow sulphur smoke that leaves survivors stumbling.

Guild alchemists ridiculed her compact artillery until her careful powder ratios and bored chamber proved far superior to their heavy stationary pieces. Between skirmishes, Tamsin cleans the polished bore of her bell-mouthed brass cannon and packs denser grain into every charge. This steady habit allows her to fire shells across longer distances, adding punishing force to every blast from her hip.

She learned point-blank discharges when Serravel canal pirates attempted to board her powder barge under the cover of night. Bracing the brass cannon against her hip with both hands, Tamsin touches the smouldering slow match on her left wrist to the vent at point-blank range. A blinding blast of orange flame and brass shrapnel slams into the target, blowing them backwards and leaving them stunned on the ground.

Level 6

She formulated this adhesive explosive paste to crack the iron vaults of guild collectors who hoarded canal grain. Grabbing a sticky spherical charge from her leather bandolier, Tamsin flings it with whip-like speed so it clings fast to an enemy's breastplate. The burning fuse hisses furiously as the foe fights, culminating in a deafening blast that detonates with amplified force from every wound they suffered.

Level 6

Tamsin adapted this lobbing arc from the grand holiday salutes she once orchestrated over Serravel's glittering waterways. She scoops a round fused shell from her bandolier, lights its wick with the smouldering slow match on her left wrist, and drops it into the bell mouth of her brass cannon. A sharp report sends the shell arcing high over the frontline, crashing amidst the enemy ranks to detonate in a fiery splash of yellow sparks and smoke.

She designed this monstrous charge to blast open the city gates of Serravel when she refused to burn out starving quarters for the Feastmaster. Bracing her leather-wrapped boots wide, Tamsin rams a massive carnival charge into her wide-mouthed brass cannon and touches her slow match to the powder. A colossal cone of orange fire and roaring concussive force tears down the corridor, violently hurling enemy formations back and leaving them stunned.

Appearance

Tamsin is a small, quick, wiry young woman of barely twenty with a freckled round face, bright green eyes, round brass-rimmed spectacles pushed up on her forehead and short frizzy copper-red hair singed at the ends. She wears a Serravel guildmaster's coat cut for work: a short double-breasted jacket of guild-purple velvet with tarnished gold braid and rolled sleeves, a leather apron scorched in many places and a bandolier of round fused shells and sticky charges. Her weapon is her best brass cannon: a short, fat, bell-mouthed cannon of polished brass as long as her arm, its mouth as wide as her head, engraved with carnival fireworks and stars, slung on a leather strap over her shoulder and fired from the hip; a smouldering slow match is twisted around her left wrist. Yellow sulphur smoke trails her. Palette: brass gold, guild purple, copper red. Silhouette hook: a small girl braced behind a bell-mouthed brass cannon.
