From [[The Witchlight Carnival#Calliope]]. Ernest has the mind of a middle-aged human, the result of a prank involving the organ grinder, his pet monkey, a leprechaun, and a great quantity of brambleberry wine. The organ grinder’s mind was swapped with his monkey’s, but the jest turned to disaster when his body ran off with the monkey’s mind inside, never to be seen again. Ernest uses the baboon stat block, but his Intelligence and Charisma are 10, and he can speak Common. His alignment is neutral good. Ernest likes to collect buttons from the carnival’s guests to sew onto his cloak. He has a rhyme for requesting them: > Spare a button if you please, > I’ll sew it next to all of these. > I offer nothing in its place, > Besides a smile upon my face.
