TS Arsenal

This is a list of every tool that the Goblin known variously as Sir Toadswallow and Turdswallow has been seen to use.

Expired Cans

Those seriously expired and befouled can of beans and other preserves that can be opened and poured to create entrances to the Warrens.<ref>John pulled out what looked like a can of beans or fruit with the label ripped off.  Rusty blisters covered it.
[...]
John took a knife to the can, as the three girls covered their noses.

The smell wafted past them, making Verona’s eyes sting.  Snowdrop, who hadn’t covered her nose, doubled over.

Even the boys on the edge of the water a hundred feet away recoiled.

Lucy couldn’t take the can, because her hand was occupied, so Verona did, turning her face away and holding it at arm’s length, downwind.  It didn’t help much.

She poured it into the mud by the water, where it bubbled noxiously.

They’d done a few trial runs of this in the weeks before leaving, but it hadn’t been this gross.
[...]
Verona stood up, gave a wide berth to the goblin hole she’d just made, now a fresh entrance to the Warrens, - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/12/05 Excerpt] from Gone Ahead 7.2</ref>

Fireworks

Has used several varieties of fireworks

One type was used to grant extra mobility to small creatures.<ref>One After Another 10.e</ref>

Flesh eating centipedes

Looks like a bunch of sticks, when thrown at someone they turn to centipedes and crawl inside them and start eating.<ref>The goblin whipped a tangle of sticks at him. He hadn’t been holding it a moment ago. The sticks hit Bumcake in the face and the configuration shattered. Centipedes swarmed out, sliding into Bumcake’s nose and ears.

Bumcake’s forward charge slowed, feet skidding on damp grass as he got to the new goblin, who had one foot out. Bumcake was moving slowly enough that he bumped up against the foot and stopped. What was happening seemed to register, and he began moving backward, crawling on the ground as fast as he was able, like moving backward enough could somehow get the bugs out of his face and head.

“I acquired those gleaming beauties at the edges of a dark place,” the new goblin said. “They’ll keep masticating, carving out some new ear canals and corridors in that mug of yours, until I say to stop.” - Excerpt from Back Away 5.d</ref>

Gas trap

A trap that explodes into clouds of yellow-green gas.<ref>Toadswallow’s traps erupted.  Clouds of yellow-green gas rose higher than the treetops, chaining off one another in advance of Marlen’s approach, so she’d be riding into the worst of it.- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.6</ref>

Goblins in a can

A can containing goblins, if thrown somewhere dark, dirty or dank it will create better results.<ref>“Here!” Toadswallow said.  ... “Goblins in a can.  Throw it into a dank, dark, or dirty place, the worse it is, the better the results.  They should listen.”- Excerpt from False Moves 12.8</ref>

Ratfink Key

A key that opens locks only for it Made by TS to give to Cherrypop to give in turn to the Kennet Trio.<ref>Cherry held up a twist of wire stuck through what might have been the skull of a rodent. The wire extended out of the mouth and then wound around the mouth like a muzzle. It ended in a fork shape.

Verona took the thing.

“Toadswallow made it,” Cherry said. “Gave it to me, said I could give it to you girls as a gift.”

“What is it?”

“Opens stuff,” Cherry said. “Like a key for most stuff, might break if it’s used on a thing sealed with practice, I guess. But after you open something it jams the lock. Original key won’t work.” - Excerpt from Stolen Away 2.7</ref>

TS has another tool he uses for unlocking, it may function similarly.<ref>- [1] from Gone Ahead 7.2</ref>

Rat-Pack and Bladder

Large box that lets out a tide of small rodentia used in combination with some animal bladder.<ref>
[...]
It was only Toadswallow, who was catching up, a cloud of nose-burning gas surrounding him, the gas bladder stuck to his hip,[...]Toadswallow had more gadgets and tricks. That was his thing, maybe. [...] he knew the tricks, he collected them.

He spiked a wooden box onto the train tracks.

Rats and mice spilled out. Way too many for the box.

They ran.
[...]

The gas seemed to spur the rats forward. They chased, nipping and seizing at Lucy’s sneakers with their teeth and claws. Which was way more horrifying than she might’ve guessed it would be if she’d been told this would happen in advance. The added weight, the promise that if she fell, they could be all over her… - Excerpt from Out on a Limb 3.8</ref>

Rat trap

A trap that explodes releasing a tide of rats.<ref>It sounded like fireworks.  Whatever it was wasn’t fire though, and the car of the first bystander blocked a lot of the view from the various parked cars.

Lucy saw one of the projectiles that was flying around as it crossed her path, bouncing off Doe.  A rat, made airborne by a steady and violent stream of diarrhea.

Toadswallow’s trap had consisted of about two hundred of those rats.  Some had streaked by Marlen, others got into machinery.  Others found her, latching on and scurrying over her, leaving trails where they went.- Excerpt from Playing a Part 15.6</ref>

Lint

Puts the smell of hot garbage in one nose if placed there.<ref>Gone Ahead 7.7</ref>
