The Flotsam Ninjas' second in command and Defence Captain, and a former cannibal hunter. He escaped a cannibal prison ten years ago; his patrol did not. Now he holds the northern Scout Post — and if you talk him into it, he will sell you everything inside it.
Flotsam's second in command, Defence Captain Mani. I'm an ex-cannibal hunter, made it my life mission to track cannibals ever since I escaped their prisons 10 years ago. My comrades though, they weren't so lucky… — Mani
Mani is the Flotsam Ninjas' second in command and Defence Captain.
He did not grow up in Flotsam Village. He was one of the Cannibal Hunters, and his patrol was wiped out by Cannibals; he alone got out of their prison alive. He joined the Flotsam Ninjas afterwards.
What he holds
There are two Scout Posts, both on the border between the Hidden Forest and the Cannibal Plains, and one of them is led by Mani.
Each post also holds 5–8 Flotsam Ninjas. That garrison is strong enough to stop small groups of Scrawny Cannibals, but it will falter against larger forces, against full Cannibals, or against Shrieking Bandits, Berserkers and the Beak Things that periodically wander through.
In other words: this is a dyke that leaks, and Mani knows it.
Talk him round and he sells you everything
Mani's distinctive feature is that if you can talk him into it, he will trade you any item inside the Scout Post.
The post caps at 15 items and restocks every 24 hours:
| Category | Contents |
|---|---|
| Medical | Advanced First Aid Kit (uncommon), Standard, Basic, Splint Kit, Skeleton Repair Kit, Authentic Skeleton Repair Kit (rare) |
| Supplies | Ration Pack, Foodcube, Bread, Cooked Vegetables, Sleeping Bag, Tools |
| Backpacks | Garru Backpack and Bull Backpack (both rare), Wooden, Trader's Wooden, Scavenger's Basket |
| Blueprints | Camp Shelter, Mercenary Tent, Scrap Tent |
| Maps | Shek Kingdom, the Swamps, United Cities (Extended Territories), Vain, route to Mongrel, route to World's End |
Combat
Mani has one of the better stat lines in the Flotsam Ninjas:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| Stealth / Thievery / Athletics | 80 / 80 / 80 |
| Katanas | 70 |
| Melee Attack / Martial Arts | 60 / 60 |
| Dexterity | 60 |
| Turrets | 50 |
| Toughness | 40 |
| Melee Defence | 20 |
| Strength | 20 |
That is an unambiguous ninja build: fast, hard to see, accurate — and unable to hold a line. Melee Defence 20 and Strength 20 mean he is not there to trade blows.
His gear is a Catun Scrapmaster Ninja Blade with a Ninja Mask, Assassin's Rags, a Dark Leather Shirt and Samurai Clothpants, at High grade with a 5% chance of Specialist — top-end kit by Flotsam standards.
