Nina Shortcrust featured during the adventures of A Short Story set in The Halfling Shires. She is a Warlock in the service of Jezail.
During the events of A Short Story, we learn that Nina is near bankrupt as her patron ordered her to hire a Troll Brothel for the weekend. She is also a master piemaker, but her choice of ingredients often includes her slain enemies causing her companions to doubt her sanity and refuse to eat them. Despite these issues, she remains the best cook in the Short Campaigners
She is armed with a Halberd which feeds on the blood of her enemies, and fights by throwing herself into the thickest part of the combat.
