Findal

Findal is a Lightfoot Halfling in the Underground Passage. He is being interrogated by Tracker Worm, Tracker Torrack, Sharp-eye Gurza and Warrior Gresh. He can be spoken to with  Speak with Dead.

Involvement

When the party approaches the goblins turn their focus to the party. If Findal's health is restored, he joins the fight as an ally, even if the player is currently escorting Sazza. Once the goblins are dealt with, you can speak to Findal and be rewarded 10 Experience. He is grateful to be saved, though you can tell him you're here to finish the goblins job for them.

He can be spoken to about why he was in the tunnels. He says he was gathering herbs when the goblins caught him, and that the goblins were asking him about a weapon. He warns the players that the area is trapped. After talking, characters with the Folk Hero Background will gain the Timely Rescue Inspiration.

If currently escorting Sazza out through the Underground Passage, Findal notices the rescue attempt. There are a few options for how to handle this.

• Convincing him that Halsin told the party to free Sazza with a DC 15 Deception check
• Persuading him that Sazza is going to help you destroy the goblin camp with a DC 15 Persuade check
• Intimidating him with a DC 15 Intimidation check
• Handing Sazza over

If the party passes the check, Findal can be spoken to again for his regular dialogue. If they fail, they have to fight Findal. If Sazza is handed over, she and Findal will fight.

Should the party save him, Findal relocates to the Emerald Grove.

If confronting Kagha and choosing to fight the Shadow Druids, he will join the fight on the party's side.

If defeating the goblin leaders before exploring the Underground Passage, Findal will be found dead in the passage, and the Key of the Ancients can be looted from his corpse.
