Thorbalt

Thorbalt is a Half-Dwarf that lived in Oar's Rest before encountering the PCs. He owns a small house in which he lives in and stores whatever he can't carry. Although it is odd for a Dwarf to venture out from their deep tunnels, he has moved away from them as a Hermit moved away from society.

Backstory
Thorbalt was born a bastard in Tunnel 021 to a Dwarven woman who had ventured to the surface. He was treated poorly by others for only being a Half-Dwarf, and eventually decided to move away from the commotion and segregational nature of a Dwarven settlement. When he finally made it out of the tunnels he found himself on the edge of the Gloomy Cloak Mountain Range. From here he wandered until he came across Oar's Rest, and decided it was a simple enough place to live. He then paid the Town Hall three pounds of gold ore and a pair of diamonds in exchange for the house.

Involvement with the Party
Thorbalt was having his daily pints of ale at Jericho's Tavern when he was approached by Mwai the Aasimar and Ligma the Drow. They offered to pay him 500 gold coins per vial of blood he provided so they could make some Dwarven Crack. He felt like his coin purse was getting a little light and decided to accept the offer. Besides, it wasn't like Oar's Rest was busy enough to warrant a law enforcement group.
