Widow Lebbil

Widow Lebbil was an elderly inhabitant of the Gadrobi District of Darujhistan, who had to use a cane to walk because of her bad hips. She lived in an ancient tenement room immediately below her upstairs neighbor, Fat Saborgan. Every night, around the same time when anyone else would be abed, Fat Saborgan would instead begin stomping about, "back and forth, round and round, this way and that", making so much noise that it was impossible for her to sleep. Usually a calm, reasonable woman, this was one of the very few things that drove the widow into an over-powering rage. Driven to distraction by all the racket overhead, Widow Lebbil would struggle out of bed, get up on a chair, and pound the ceiling with her cane - "thump thump scrape thump scrape thump thump" - pounding and pounding until her arms were on fire. Not that this had the least effect on the movements of Fat Saborgan.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 21, US TPB p.716-717

Unbeknownst to the widow, Fat Saborgen was enthralled to a minor demon known as the White-Haired Empress, who had been summoned and chained to their tenement by a witch three centuries prior to kill the room's cockroaches. Under her possession, he was lost in his own world, 'dancing' with the demon as she guided his large feet to stomp the prolific insects.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 21, US TPB p.717
On the last night of the Gedderone Fête, when Hood walked the streets of Darujhistan harvesting souls, Fat Saborgen once again awoke Widow Lebbil. But their nightly interaction did not play out as usual. The combination of all the frenzied pounding by the widow's cane, the heavy footfalls of Saborgan, and the state of the tenement's rotten crossbeams all became too much for the ceiling, which collapsed all at once. Widow Lebbil was killed instantly, as much by shock as by the crushing weight of the wreckage. Fat Saborgan died as he fell, impaled in the anus by the widow's cane, and the White-Haired Empress disappeared, presumably back to wherever it was that she had originally come from.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 21, US TPB p.717-718
