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.
Individuals (NPCs)
Absalon (R.I.P.)

was destroyed by Peldor and Ged.
Acererak's stats can be found in the TSR module S1, Tomb of Horrors.
Adolphus Delphi
first appearance: Adventurers #643
Adolphus is a gigantic, scary-looking half-ogre fighter (7th level).
Almost 8' tall and heavily muscled, he has pallid skin and stringy,
greasy brown hair. He is unusually ugly, smells, and parts crowds
when he approaches. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, he tends
to let Peyton make all major decisions for him. Adolphus fights with
whatever he's carrying around at the time, most recently a big battleaxe.
He is a member of the six-member group known unofficially as the "Misadventurers"
and has been involved in the campaigns at the Temple of Elemental Evil
and the Fortress of the Nine. The last time he was seen, the group
had been offered employment by Deryck.

by Peldor and hired on the spot.
Albert (of the Sinking Plain) (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #091
Baron Albert of Blackmoor is a particularly unpleasant individual whom the
Adventurers encountered shortly after escaping the Underdark. Initially
appearing as a generous host, he turned out to be more evil than the party
could have possibly imagined. They were lucky to get away from his manor
with their lives and sanity.
Though his home was ablaze as the party fled, Albert survived; he was finally sought out
and slain (along with his various servants and minions) by Belphanior in episodes 624-5.
It was later learned that Baron Albert was a thrall of the arch-lich Xusia.
Angus (iron golem)
first appearance: Adventurers #146
first named: Adventurers #149
Created by the mad elf Belphanior, Angus has all the powers and properties

along on certain adventures.
Ansalon
first appearance: Adventurers #183
Ansalon is a human priest of Boccob, one of two such priests whom Ged
employs in his temple. Ansalon is a NG 9th level priest, and he fights (when
necessary) with a footman's flail +2.
As of Ged's death, Ansalon has risen to a new level of power and
responsibility.

Mysteriously enough, Ansalon was called Ascalon for a time.
Aranor (R.I.P.)
first mentioned: Adventurers #044
Aranor was an ancient dwarven eccentric who lived and adventured in the
Ulek area. Although he has been dead for centuries, this didn't stop the
party from exploring his odd dungeons.
Araxi Argenti
first appearance: Adventurers #559
Araxi is a silver dragon who resides somewhere high atop the same mountain
in the Corusk range where Rillen and Songa chanced to make their home. The

by some thieves. Though Araxi expressed a willingness to live in peace with
the couple, she made it clear she did not wish to be disturbed for any reason.
Arion
first appearance: Adventurers #192
subsequent appearance: Adventurers #637-#638

first appearance: Adventurers #368
final appearance: Adventurers #371
Arley was an ogre mage who first appeared posing as a chubby, pleasant old

was finally slain by Sir Drexel.

a particularly lucky profession for the warrior, but it has been a valuable
one, providing both experience and wealth. His current whereabouts are
unknown.
Arvis I Baron
first appearance: Lost Tales #12

mighty powers, as well as the existence of its twelve brothers.
Baytor
first appearance: Adventurers #080
first named: Lost Tales #11
Baytor is a rather addled green dragon who enjoys eating boulders, drow,
derro, and cherry pies. However, he does not apparently eat priests of

Belgar (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #005
final appearance: Lost Tales #16
Belgar was the "guide" who accompanied the party into an abandoned dwarven
mine, many years ago. Possessed by greed, he turned traitor and collapsed the
mineshaft on them, burying them alive. Belgar remained at large for a long
time before Belphanior happened to find him in Badwall. Not one to let a bad
deed go unpunished, Belphanior tossed Belgar into an abandoned mineshaft and
collapsed it on him. Belphanior was kind enough to leave the man some company
though: a nest of carrion crawlers.
King Belvor IV
first mentioned: Adventurers #103
Belvor IV is the current king of Furyondy, and is by all accounts a noble
and just fellow. He is also, according to the Glossography to the World of
Greyhawk boxed set, a 14th level paladin.
Bernard the peasant
first appearance: Adventurers #253
Bernard, along with his wife Nadine and son Bert, lives in a keep within
Ged's lands. This keep was actually granted to Peldor from a deck of many
things that he toyed with, many years back. Ged and Arnold discovered it
while seeking to expand the former's lands.
The keep and its land were traded to Ged by Peldor as part of a land-deal,
and all its inhabitants, including Bernard and his family, are now under Ged's
protection.

stronghold as the party explored the place. Blackthorn was slain by
Belphanior.
Blok
first appearance: Adventurers #192
subsequent appearance: Lost Tales #05
Blok was an earth elemental that, for some reason, served Peyote. It first
appeared when the latter rejoined the main party, to hunt for the magical

Peyote was around, he was without the elemental, for reasons unknown.
Presumably it was dismissed back to its natural plane.

After that, Boltar joined Rob's force to assault the Fortress of the Nine,
where he perished in battle after being hit by a beholder's death ray.

as a prisoner in the Elemental Plane of Water. After his soul was rescued and

tournament in which Rillen participated. He re-appeared in the tournament on
Lao Khan's island, and eventually fought alongside Rillen, Belphanior,
and the others against the evil Lao Khan.

page. He is now a regular fixture in Ged's castle.
See also Hobbes.
Sir Canady (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Lost Tales #09
Sir Canady was a rich but skinny, clumsy, meek, dull, weak, insipid, stupid,
easily-dominated little worm from Homburg. At least, that's what a young and
fiery Victoria thought of her would-be suitor. He's almost certainly passed
on by now, as humans rarely live to be 400.
Carey
first mentioned: Adventurers #247
first appearance (corpse): Adventurers #248
brought back to life: Adventurers #249
Carey is a senseless halfling and Bosco's missing friend (go figure) who was

the Adventurers.
See also Fyndax.
Carrick
first appearance: Adventurers #191
Carrick was the mayor of Spek, a town where the party tried to buy some
equipment for eleven hundred newly-freed slaves. He was only noteworthy
because he stood up to the party, in defense of his town, and persuaded them
to leave peacefully. If he's not still the mayor, the town should have given
him a fat pension and a hell of a retirement home — he earned it.
Cassius (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #001
final appearance: Adventurers #001
Cassius was the merchant who hired the party for its first mission. He was
slain by assassins mere moments after sealing his deal with the Adventurers.

Cecil
first appearance: Adventurers #179

Cespedes
first appearance: Adventurers #687
first named: Adventurers #688
found ruling crypt of Kyuss: Adventurers #700
encountered in Fortress of the Nine: Adventurers #779
fled the battle via teleportation: Adventurers #783
Cespedes is a tall, thin archmage in a hooded red robe with many
sewn-on magical stars; he has short gray hair and a goatee.
He was a member of the Nine before their fortress was invaded by
the forces of Good, and fled once he realized there was nothing
to be gained from remaining in the battle. Of this fleeing,
the archmage Pallin commented that Cespedes was "most definitely
not on Oerth, or the Prime Material Plane."
Cespedes is a mighty wizard whose specialties are elemental magic
and constructs. Among other feats, he has used his prison of Zagyg
to capture the iron dwarf, bargained with the elemental king of water,
and successfully used mind control on Skektek during battle. He is
apparently also the creator of Talos, the adamantine golem (q.v.).

in another tournament, Chuck again lost to the eventual champion: Rillen.
Confernicus
first appearance: Lost Tales #14
Confernicus is one of three Archdruids in Obad-hai's service and Peyote's
direct boss. He presided over the ritual contest between Peyote and Daffodil
that saw Peyote rise to the rank of Druid, and also presided over Peyote's
title defense against the rogue druid Tolvek, in episode 608.. He remains
quite spry for his 100+ years.
Cornelius
first appearance: Adventurers #511
Cornelius is a crusty old sea dog, and the captain of one of the many
vessels that sail the Nyr Dyv. He had quite a thrill in 511-512 when, while
transporting Mongo, Rillen, et al. across the lake, a giant squid attacked.
Corvis
first appearance: Adventurers #526
Corvis is a lean, mean, one-eyed thief hailing from the far away land of Zeif.

most recent appearance: Adventurers #497-#500
apparently perished: Adventurers #500
Cynder is a great, wicked red dragon first encountered by the party at the
end of Aranor's dungeons, many years ago. Wished away inadvertently by
Belphanior, the evil wyrm turned up again within the Griff Mountains, lording
it over a pack of jermaline. After accidentally recharging Ged's fire wand,
Cynder played a foul trick on the party.
Posing as the human called Ashe, Cynder was discovered on the Isle of the
Ape when the party inadvertently freed him from an extradimensional prison.
He accompanied them to the Abyss and proved incredibly useful. Cynder was
apparently slain in battle with Orcus himself.
Daffodil
first appearance: Lost Tales #14
Daffodil is a druid in Obad-Hai's service and one of Peyote's direct
assistants within the Vesve Forest. Peyote defeated her in ritual combat to
earn the full rank of Druid. It was only afterwards that Peyote would learn
that Daffodil is also the daughter of the Great Druid Oakly Greenleaf.
Since they began working together, Daffodil and Peyote have become friends and
lovers, though if they have taken any marriage vows it was certainly in the
seclusion of the forest.
Dagron Larthos (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #278
final appearance: Adventurers #280

enchanted armor and items. He is hundreds of years old, older than any mortal

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 him . . . but
even that was not enough to contain the fury that is the Iron Dwarf.
He later emerged from the sea, was captured by the wizard Cespedes, and was

of force, he mysteriously vanished at the same time that Cespedes fled.

first appearance: Adventurers #311
first named: Adventurers #323
final appearance: Adventurers #325
Kheldar was an arrogant, grey-clad human assassin working for Necros
during the time of the Adventurers capture. His motives were purely
professional: he worked for a fee, not for vengeance. Though he claimed to
be the most feared assassin on Oerik, Whisper proved otherwise, slaying
him in the battle on Necros' isle.
Kiel Morgan
first mentioned: Adventurers #105
first appearance: Adventurers #109
Kiel Morgan is a great explorer whose name first came up when the
Adventurers realized that they needed his help to find the lost city in the
Sea of Dust. Soon afterward, they actually met him. Kiel gave the party
several magical items of unique usefulness, among them Ged's sky balloon and
Belphanior's compass.
The buzz around the campfires of the world is that, if you need to find a
lost, legendary place, Kiel is the man to see.

final appearance: Adventurers #072

Kronos (R.I.P.?)
first appearance: Adventurers #274
Kronos was a long-dead Flan wizard, whose cairn Belphanior and Otto invaded
as they searched for lost treasure. His mummified body apparently came back
to life right before Belphanior sealed the cairn, trapping Torin's first
company along with a plethora of angry undead. Since Torin subsequently
reappeared in Helgate, it stands to reason that he defeated all of the undead
in the cairn, including Kronos. However, nothing is verifiable, as Torin is
now irrevocably slain.
Krug (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #001
final appearance: Adventurers #003
Krug was a hulking, smelly human warrior and a founding party member. He
was slain by Mongo, though, after trying to kill Ged for reasons unknown.
Nobody missed him.

Kruk was a lean, muscled brute who decorated himself in war paint, but was
soundly beaten by Rillen on his way to winning the third great fighting
tournament.
Kubala (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #225
final appearance: Adventurers #225
Kubala was a strange warrior who fought in Lao Khan's tournament. His claim
to fame was his long, hard fingernails, which he used to slice up foes. He
was incapacitated by Mirimoto during the great final battle. He was
later dispatched as a matter of prudence.

first appearance: Adventurers #148
helped on crypt adventure: Adventurers #440, #451-#455

He led a force of halflings to Mongo's aid against the giants. Years later, it
was revealed that he was one member of an old group of adventuring companions,
which includes Yod Ironbeard, Lord Marcus of Greyspire,
the barbarian Tarl, the high priest Relmar, and the elf Eyer.
Kup was a valuable asset to the Vesve-crypt mission for Oakly Greenleaf.
He also assisted with the assault on the fortress of the Nine.
Kynn Trylannan (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #313
first named: Adventurers #318
final appearance: Adventurers #325
Kynn was a slender elven sorceress clad in blue robes, who for a time was
allied with Necros. It was she who used Tanya as the bait to capture
Peldor and coincidentally Belphanior. This task was made considerably easier
because she held an iron talisman which gave her command over the Iron Dwarf's
endless fury. She was one of the many slavers in Westkeep whose
livelihood was ruined by Belphanior's scheme to free the slaves of that city.
During the battle on Necros' isle, Belphanior slew the witch with his evil
eye.

first named: Adventurers #342
death mentioned: Adventurers #435

trident. Kyros was slain by bandits sometime around episodes #432-5.
Kyuss (R.I.P. ?)
first mentioned: Adventurers #694
Kyuss, so the legends say, was a most evil champion from centuries past. He may
or may not be linked to certain obscure types of undead as well. A crypt
supposedly named after him was explored by some of the adventurers,
but its ruler turned out to be someone else. It remains to be seen
whether the actual Kyuss still lives (or is undead) and has influence in the world.
Lao Khan (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #225
final appearance: Adventurers #225
Lao Khan was an ancient warrior/sorceror who hosted the second fighting
tournament Rillen entered. He was planning to somehow take control of all the
participants, and use them as troops, or else fodder for his hellish
experiments. Amidst a pitched battle, he was finally slain in combat by
Rillen. Belphanior took his anti-magic sphere and transported it to another
place.
Lareth the Beautiful (R.I.P.)

ferrets (which are, by the way, the parents of Bosco's quartet of sneaky
ferrets.)
Lester

to spend time at home. He was politely cut off from further drinks by Tanya one time.

still turns up from time to time, most recently to rebuild the new and

Lord of Illusions
first mentioned: Adventurers #604
false appearance: Adventurers #617
first appearance: Adventurers #655
The Lord of Illusions (who also goes by the name Tonberry)
is a three-foot tall, green-skinned being with large yellow
pupil-less eyes. His existence was only rumored, and he had
decoys set up, but Alindyar was persistent in his efforts, and
the Lord of Illusions eventually agreed to teach the dark elf.
This being is vastly powerful, especially in the field of illusion,
where his illusions are strong enough that they actually alter reality.
He/it was able to teleport Alindyar and Lyra back to Greyhawk
with barely a thought. The Lord of Illusions also has a large
library with a disembodied, talking mouth for a guide; the library
contains the Codex of Infinite Planes, among other rare works.
Lothar (of the Hill People) (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #619
Lothar was a hillman from the Abbor-Alz, sent to spy on Alindyar and Lyra
when they sought out a mysterious tomb. His greed proved his undoing,
as he was slain by a rune-based trap after the drow departed.
Lotus of Fax
first appearance: Adventurers #060

years ago. He might be distantly related to Rob, but nothing is certain.

first appearance: Adventurers #189
final appearance: Adventurers #190

elf Belphanior decided to free the slaves of that city. He was slain by

explored his ruined castle in one of their first adventures.

first appearance: Lost Tales #17
first regular appearance: Adventurers #062
caught in Alindyar's retributive strike: Adventurers #143
reappeared: Adventurers #174
abducted by Necros' agents: Adventurers #315
Lyra is a female drow wizard, and was originally a member of a drow raiding
party that attacked the Adventurers several years ago. She was captured by
the party and soon converted from her previous errant ways by Alindyar, who
thereafter became her mate. She quickly became a useful and trusted member of
the party. Lyra comes from the drow city of Rilauven.
Malgorth the Wicked (R.I.P.?)
first appearance: Lost Tales #24
Malgorth was as powerful as he was insane, but none of his foul deeds
compare to the creation of the most twisted and fearsome weapon the world has
known. Malgorth made the Iron Dwarf. Through hellish torture and
godlike sorcery, the mad wizard created and controlled the ultimate slayer.
Malgorth is presumed dead, for his talisman to control the fury of the Iron
Dwarf fell into other hands, and it seems unlikely that could happen while
the wizard still drew breath. But for one of Malgorth's power, many things
are possible.
See also Gothnug.
Malor (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #070
final appearance: Adventurers #070

leading his forces against the evil ones.
Markessa (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #025

hands of Belphanior.

first appearance: Adventurers #666
identified by name: Adventurers #668
slain in battle: Adventurers #675

to Alindyar an offer from Tobin Potriades for the position of full
professor.

the later battle. He seemed to be a master of some "soft" (i.e. defensive)
martial art. He was also one of the few survivors that day.
Mukos
first mentioned: Adventurers #594
Mukos, as legend would have it, was a tyrant lord banished from the lands
of Sunndi who fled to the Vast Swamp and erected his castle there. Centuries
later, Xusia would sieze the abandoned site as his own base of power,
only to have it all destroyed by Rob's mighty earthquake.
Murad
first appearance: Adventurers #462

in the great campaign of the Flinty Hills.
Necros (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #311

powerful priests on Oerth because he served Orcus directly. A shrivelled
figure clad in the blackest of garments with only dark hollows for eyes,
Necros spent years gathering the power to destroy those who slew one of the Balors,
Elik. His many allies included Kheldar, Kynn Trylannan,

Nerg (R.I.P.)
first mentioned: Adventurers #328
final appearance: Adventurers #341
Nerg was the leader of the red-armband gang which menaced Helgate for a
brief time. A brute without much intelligence, he and his band of thugs were
easily dispatched by the blades of Belphanior and Victoria. Indeed,
Nerg's worthless carcass was only identified posthumously. Arno and Gorvis
were the only two other red-armbanded bandits ever named.
Nergal (R.I.P.)
first appearance: Adventurers #118
final appearance: Adventurers #118
Never explicitly named, Nergal was the nycadaemon defeated by the party in

by his student, many decades ago.
Nerof Gasgal
first appearance: Adventurers #401

retired thief, he controls much of the power and money of that great city. He
upset Peldor quite terribly when he and certain other Oligarchs chose someone
else as Org Nenshen's replacement.
After Sharyn Messandier was revealed to be acting in her own interests,
Nerof offered Peldor the position of Guildmaster of Thieves.
Nigel Bloodstone
first appearance: Adventurers #669
Nigel Bloodstone is the general of Perrenland's armies, considered among the finest
in the world. As such, he is bold, forthright, and aggressive. These qualities
contributed to the battle of Helgate and the town's total destruction, as the forces
of Perrenland and Ket skirmished with each other, Helgate's defenders, and other parties
in that epic contest. In addition to significant physical strength and endurance,
the general possesses armor that protects him from harmful elemental magic (such as
lightning bolts) and a shield which actually reflects spells back at the caster.
He also knew Otto the dwarf from previous military campaigns. Nigel was last seen
departing Helgate after the battle ended.
Nobb
first mentioned: Adventurers #186
Along with Ranulf, Nobb was one of two primary slave merchants in the
city of Westkeep, in the hold of the Sea Princes. It is unknown how his

Belphanior mentioned these two as loose ends that needed to be eliminated.
Nolger Karvakian (R.I.P.)
first mentioned: Adventurers #400
Nolger was third in command of the guard for the city of Greyhawk. Never
actually met by the Adventurers, it was discovered that he had been replaced
by one of the shapeshifters. This body double was finally slain by Otto.
Norg
first appearance: Adventurers #225
final appearance: Adventurers #225
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.
