Glanno Tarp

Glanno Tarp was a shareholder in the Trygalle Trade Guild who drove carriages for Master Quell.Toll the Hounds, Dramatis PersonaeToll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.245 He was prone to malapropisms.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US TPB p.199
Glanno often initiated offbeat bets with Reccanto Ilk, who complained the terms were always too vague and needed more precision.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.242 Although Reccanto Ilk was recognised among Master Quell's shareholders as having poor eyesight, Glanno Tarp's vision was likely worse. The driver kept it secret that anything beyond thirty paces appeared to him only as blocks of vague shape.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.661
He had a long list of former loves,Toll the Hounds, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.745/752-753 although he was sure either Sweetest Sufferance or Faint would one day be his wife.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 13, US SFBC p.511

Master Quell's latest Guild trip through the Warrens ended with a crash in Darujhistan outside Quip's Bar that sent shareholders sprawling.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 3, US SFBC p.82-85 Five shareholders had been killed during the journey, but that was just another day working for the Guild.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.241 Digging himself free from where he had been thrown into a rubbish cart, Glanno Tarp followed the other survivors (Master Quell, Faint, Reccanto Ilk, and Sweetest Sufferance) into the bar to drink and recover. There, Glanno and Reccanto placed bets on a rat investigating the open mouth of the sleeping proprietor, Quip Younger.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.242-247 Mappo Runt approached Master Quell about taking him to Lether where he planned to search for his friend, Icarium. The sorcerer agreed presuming they could fill the positions of the now understaffed crew. Consequently, Gruntle, Amby Bole, Jula Bole, and Precious Thimble were hired.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 7, US SFBC p.277-278
The Guild carriage first passed into Hood's realm where they were unexpectedly overwhelmed by a hostile army of the dead. During the chaotic melee, three dead men mauled Sweetest Sufferance seemingly intent on some kind of rape. Although Reccanto Ilk came to her aid, he used the opportunity to grope her. Glanno Tarp complained over Ilk manhandling his future wife.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 13, US SFBC p.505/510-511 Unable to find the exit gate, Quell hastily brought them to a small tropical island (where it was realized their carriage had inadvertently picked up the undead Cartographer in its wake). The mage then returned to Hood's realm with Gruntle as his escort in an attempt to learn what was happening. They learned from the shade of Toc the Younger that Hood's realm was now sealed to the living. An undead dragon burst from the ground as Quell opened a return portal, following them back to the island before flying away.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 13, US TPB p.415-417Toll the Hounds, Chapter 14, US TPB p.455-457
Master Quell took them off the island through Mael's realm, riding heaving waves amidst a furious storm.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 13, US SFBC p.513-514Toll the Hounds, Chapter 14, US SFBC p.579-581Toll the Hounds, Chapter 16, US SFBC p.658-659 Arriving at the shores of a southern Genabackis island, the carriage raced to the top of an immense wave to crash into a cliffside village before it could be dashed onto the rocks below. The carriage was shattered, sending Glanno Tarp, Cartographer, and the horses careening away. The shareholders found themselves in Reach of Woe, a community of Wreckers plagued by a curse that turned their young women into bloodthirsty Tralka Vonan. Three Tralka Vonan were awakened by the noise of the crash, forcing Mappo and the shareholders to barricade themselves in a tavern, while the villagers locked themselves in the tavern's basement. After the creatures were dispatched, Gruntle, Amby, and Jula volunteered to seek out Glanno Tarp. They found him lying in a corral with his legs broken and his shoulders dislocated, rambling on over the many loves of his life, including Coutre, Herboo Nast, Luft, and Nivvy. Nearby Cartographer was still tied to a carriage wheel. Glanno insisted on splints, as opposed to magical healing from Quell, to avoid reducing his share of the trip's profit.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 16, US SFBC p.659-664Toll the Hounds, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.740-742/745/752-753/755
Meanwhile Quell, Precious Thimble, and Mappo went to confer with the village Provost, Bedusk Pall Kovuss Agape, who they soon discovered was a Jaghut and the originator of the curse. After burying his wife years earlier, the Jaghut had been elected Provost by the village to ameliorate his grief. He soon fell in a love with a village girl who spurned his advances. In a rage, he placed a curse on the village that turned any woman of childbearing age who was without children into a Tralka Vonan. Recognising Precious Thimble, Sweetest Sufferance, and Faint were in danger, Quell allowed them to leave for the next village while the male shareholders repaired the carriage.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.742-749Toll the Hounds, Chapter 20, US SFBC p.820-821
The Provost's wife was not, in fact, dead. He had buried her alive near the cliff and she had been freed from her "grave" when it collapsed into the sea. She emerged from the water determined to destroy the village of wreckers, who preyed on passing ships. When she appeared at the corral where Glanno Tarp lay, he tried to crawl away in terror despite his injuries. Quell saw the opportunity to negotiate an end to the curse which was almost upended when Amby and Jula Bole attacked the woman. Despite her terrifying magic, they brought her down and pinned her until Gruntle bargained for peace. The Jaghut agreed, but the Boles had to be threatened with decapitation by Gruntle's swords. The Jaghut said the curse would end when her husband was dead and she stalked off to confront him.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 18, US SFBC p.750-756Toll the Hounds, Chapter 20, US SFBC p.823
Makeshift repairs completed, the male shareholders retrieved their female colleagues, but the Jaghuts' sorcerous battle soon threatened to engulf the entire island. Cartographer drew a map in the dirt that would serve as a gate to allow them to quickly escape. With misgivings, Quell invested it with his power to activate it.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 20, US SFBC p.820-823 The gate brought them to the Warren inside Dragnipur where the army of Hood's dead fought a war with Chaos. Glanno slammed on the breaks sending Amby, Faint, Gruntle, Jula, and Sweetest Sufferance rolling off. Forgetting his splints, he leapt to his feet and fell between the horses, which would have crushed him if Reccanto had not pulled him free. When Gruntle showed a mind to join the battle, Glanno called him back, warning the Guild did not look kindly on deserters. Quell immediately realised they had been duped as Hood came to chide Cartographer for being late. The god sent the Guild caravan away with Cartographer as their guide and Hood's Herald, Toc the Younger, following in their wake.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 24, US SFBC p.957-959 They were last shown passing through the primeval world where Picker's spirit was lost.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 24, US SFBC p.970
