Scouts were a type of small skinny, humanoid creature often used as information gatherers.

Description

Scouts were not good fighters and would be thrown into a panic by aggression.

They were obliged by their gods to offer help to those who they have enjoyed the company of. They could give out special objects to deal with danger, hunger, or a simple need for advice, such as their food cubes.

They possessed the ability when gathered to blow air at a rate comparable to a gale-force wind, or the HUF spell. They could even incapicitate or knock out foes with this ability.

Origins and Distribution

Scouts were believed to be related to gremlins or goblins.

Some scholars believed them to be related to the deity Pangara due to their powerful wind-blowing capabilities. Others pointed to the deity Fulkra, citing their love of trade and gifting as evidence.

History

At least four Scouts lived in the Black Tower, working for Balthus Dire. They were considered a likeable lot as they were helpful and prone to laughing and joking. They seemed loyal to Balthus Dire, as they would not betray him.
