Skickpit
Involvement
Skickpit will initially be just outside the elevator which leads to the Shadow-Cursed Lands, being harassed by Magmar and Pistle. The party can later join in with harassing Skickpit, or try to assure him that they are trying to help. This will require a persuasion check, or if Wyll is chosen as origin Skickpit will believe them automatically. Paladins or Clerics under a good deity also need not pass a persuasion check.
Skickpit can be saved without combat by poisoning the "stained cask" near the stairs before climbing.
If the camp is cleared of Duergar, Skickpit can be told to join the other deep gnomes.
If the interacting with the elevator, Skickpit may also warn the party about travelling to the Shadow-Cursed Lands without a Moonlantern.
