A rattling little stone that never comes alone. One is easy; three around you add up, because each one next to you makes the next Pile On hurt more. Shove one into water and it sinks.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 2 |

Kit
Base numbers. A stray always has its whole kit; your companion unlocks the same skills by level. Everyone can also Shove.
| Skill | Cost | Unlock | Numbers | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pebble Toss | Action | level 1 | shot, range 3 · 3 damage | Flick a pebble at a foe a few tiles away. |
| Pile On | Action | level 2 | adjacent · 3 damage | A shove-and-scrape at a foe next to you, harder for every other Pebbling beside that foe. |
| Roll | Action | level 4 | dash 3 · 2 damage · push 1 · cooldown 1 | Curl up and roll in a straight line, bumping the first foe a tile back. |
Where to find it
It never wanders the world: you meet it only in a fight, in the encounters that call for it.
