Guantano: Guantano is a very bizarre gnome. In "The Time Bandit," he gave you a necklaceg:
quote:
You take a look at the necklace. There are at least 50 rings on that long necklace, which itself is no more than a thin leather strap, tied at the ends to allow easy access to the rings. There are also about 30 keys of various shapes and sizes, most metallic, but a few made of wood or bone. He holds the jingling necklace out to you, in addition to the invisibility ring and the time control ring he showed you earlier.
"Promise me you will keep these and use them to save the kingdom, yes?"
(The ring of invisibility turned out to be only a ring of invisibility with a 15 foot radius. In other words, it only made the wearer invisible to those people within 15 foot of the wearer. Everyone else could see him, which at first made you think Guantano was deranged, since you could see him from a distance and he thought he was invisible.)
He urged you, "Go see the dragon."
He loves traps and loved to see them work. He giggles when he thinks he's tricking people.
Derro and Duergar: They have some sort of alliance working against humans and were part of the cause of the original war allowing the orcs to conquer the kingdom.
The derro flooded the city by breaking the dam in "The Time Bandit:"
quote:
Outside, you hear yelling in the streets. "The dam is broken!" one says. Another yells, "The sewers are flooded." And a third, "It was sabotage!"
quote:
Derro are a degenerate race of dwarven stature. They have been skulking in the Underdark for ages. The derro have made a name for themselves by their marked cruelty. It is said that a derro lives for just two things: to witness the slow, humiliating death of surface demihumans, and especially humans; and the perversion of knowledge to their own dark ends.
The derro are short, with skin the color of an iced over lake (white, with bluish undertones), sickly, pale yellow or tan hair (always straight), and staring eyes that have no pupils. Their features remind dwarves of humans, and vice versa. Derro have rough skin, spotted with short coarse tufts of hair. Most derro wear a loose costume woven from the hair of underground creatures and dyed deep red or brown. Their armor is leather, studded in copper and brass. Leaders wear tougher, kather armors, made from the hides of beasts far more rugged than cattle.
