It was only afterwards that Peyote would learn that Daffodil is also the daughter of the Great Druid Oakly Greenleaf.

The party again encountered Darek in the sewers when they sought to destroy the shapeshifter menace. Darek was killed in a disastrous explosion and cave-in during that adventure. His mangled body was left with the svirfneblin below the city of Greyhawk. They were attempting to bring him back to life, but were unable to do so while Mongo was there.

Months later, however, Darek appeared, alive but without memory of how he came to be so. Mongo knows the truth, though: the svirfneblin restored Darek Halfplow to life without his knowledge.

More details about Darek can be found in the City of Greyhawk boxed set.

Garth is a hulking ex-slave who took command of the thousand-plus ex-slaves that the party liberated from the Hold of the Sea Princes. He owes the party a great debt, yet they owe him one as well, for without his leadership, the ex-slaves wouldn't have been as orderly and efficient.

Armed only with a legendary sword and four centuries of fighting experience, and accompanied by his undead steed, Gorath resides in the Vale of Death in the Forlorn Forest. Belphanior sought out the death knight when he learned that Gorath had managed to escape Orcus' control. Gorath remained silent on that matter, but did tell Belphanior of Xusia's power.

In return, the Adventurers were able to help repel an attack by the foul smelling kuo-toa on the svirfneblin city. Grimlok wielded an enchanted mithril pick capable of blinding its victim.

buried within castle on island:  Adventurers #325
finally emerged from the sea:    Adventurers #600

The Iron Dwarf is the lightning-in-a-bottle of warriors. A perpetually enraged and completely insane foe, he is sheathed from head to toe in enchanted armor and items. He is hundreds of years old, older than any mortal dwarf. Once a normal dwarf who was twisted by Malgorth the Wicked, the Iron Dwarf is now as impervious to the effects of time as he is to the blows that fall upon his armored form.

He first appeared with Zara as she tried to take her revenge on the party. Though buried in rock, the Iron Dwarf yet lived. He either unearthed himself, or was unearthed by Necros' minions as part of his foul plot to destroy the Adventurers. In any case, he was apparently bound to obey the bearer of a certain talisman possessed by Necros and friends. During the final battle against the evil priest, an island fortress collapsed on top of the Iron Dwarf. Even that was not enough to contain the fury that is the Iron Dwarf.

reappearance:                  Adventurers #599

Norg was a hulking warrior from Lao Khan's great tournament. Though generally hostile, he never fought directly against Rillen or any of his allies. He was slain by Lao Khan's minions.

Slain or not, he reappeared in Rillen's third fighting tournament where he was bested by the hefty Yee. This has led some to suggest the beast has troll blood in him.

Omak was an officer among the armies of the Sea Princes chosen to hunt down the elf Belphanior for his freeing of the slaves of that region. Omak's Band of twelve highly skilled mercenaries came quite close to defeating the elf and probably would have with a bit more luck. As fate would have it, Omak and his remaining allies were forced to flee using his powerful ring of recall. This item has since come into Victoria's possession. Not content to let Omak's attack go unanswered, Belphanior pursued the soldier across the ocean, eventually winding up shipwrecked on a small island where the two met again. Omak would not escape this time, dying on Blackrazor's keen edge.

His band finally located Victoria in Helgate and abducted her while Belphanior was away. When the elf came to Victoria's rescue, most of Qurac's band was slain, but Qurac was never found.

Rob is a terribly absentminded human priest of Trithereon, and a founding party member. After a fairly brief time, he left the party to pursue Trithereon's call. He returned again, but was taken away by an invisible foe, rumored to be a green dragon inhabiting the area. He survived (though no one has ever asked how), and has shown up from time to time to aid his old companions.

Most recently, Rob has demonstrated a great deal of the very awareness that he once lacked. He attributed this to the strange fruits of a magical tree. Rob is originally from Keoland.
