Aratna Skyratchet (Male Gnomish Priest of Garal Glitterlode)

Weapons inventor, and priest of the patron of gnomes. Aratna
joined for an expedition to an old series of gnomish caves,
and for an opportunity to use 'Bessy'.  Bessy is a shoulder
mounted large cylinder, which he uses to fire metal bolts at
high speed. Actually hitting anything is a secondary
consideration to just firing for the hell of it.  He
occasionally talks to Bessy, but it hasn't talked back (yet).
