Pindle

🗡️ Pindle – Halfling Rogue (NPC)

Species: Halfling
Class: Rogue
Alignment: True Neutral → Neutral Good
Affiliation: Survivor Encampment, Party-Aligned
Home Plane: Material Plane – Ruined city of Linton

Summary

Pindle was once just another face in the crowd of Linton—until the city fell. When the party found him, he was a hollowed-out survivor: bitter, cold, and ready to die. But something in their defiance—or maybe the laughter of a child around Marrill’s enclave—sparked a reluctant ember in him.

Now, he trails the party as a sometimes-guide, sometimes-ghost. His deep knowledge of the ruined city's alleys, tunnels, and secrets has saved them more than once. He grumbles, he complains—but he shows up when it counts.

Traits

• Citywise: Knows the layout of ruined Linton better than anyone still alive.
• Stealthy: Excellent at moving unseen and unheard—even in unstable terrain.
• Resourceful: Can pick locks, spot traps, and scavenge effectively.
• Cynical but Kind: Tends to assume the worst, but can’t help stepping in when people are hurting.
• Soft Spot for Kids: Secretly protective of the children in the survivor camp.

Appearance

Short, wiry, and weather-worn. His patchwork gear hides more knives than you’d expect. A fast mouth when he’s mad, and a faster hand when something needs doing quietly.

Role in the Party

Pindle serves as a reluctant guide and scout, particularly within the ruined city. Though he rarely volunteers for danger, he’s proven his value again and again. Whether he likes it or not, he’s becoming part of something again—and for now, that’s enough.
