Pitt

Pitt is a small kobold who works at the Lazy Wizard, the inn of Exalon in the town of Osterhn, in the Sürgün Günlükleri ("Exile Chronicles") campaign. He has a dragon-like head, wears children's clothes, cleans the barrels and carries the tea. Exalon spoke well of his cooking and said that he had found Pitt's egg. His scales were described as black at first and as red later.¹²

Shy of strangers, he ran behind the barrels in the back room when the companions first came in and only came out when Exalon called him; he did not show himself to Finart when Finart was brought there.¹³

The mushroom journey

When Exalon needed help, Pitt fetched Ephorus with a child-like call and gesture. He asked to come along on the journey to the caves and was promised armour of his own. On the road with Sarah Lia Galanodel and Ephorus he sniffed the air and watched the way, and they talked of how he had been raised and of the bad treatment he had met from cruel people, which Ephorus set beside his own sale at an auction. When a creature attacked in the caves, Pitt ran ahead of his friends to put himself between them and it.²⁴⁵⁶⁷

Keeping the inn

While the companions were captives of the goblins, Exalon went away to consult someone who might help, and Pitt kept the dark, shuttered inn alone. When they came back he hugged them, cooked for them and brought water to wash. He went with Ephorus to the emptied mansion of the doctor Benedict Von Barrington and handed him the means to light the fire with which Ephorus burned it.⁸⁹¹⁰¹¹

When Exalon went into hiding from a new witch hunter, Pitt said he would stay at the inn. Once he came to call Ephorus to dinner disguised as a peasant girl in a false blond wig.¹²¹³

The goblin assault

Exalon persuaded him not to fight in the great goblin assault, since someone his size might be taken for an enemy. Pitt joined Ephorus and Sarah on a roof and told them he had set spiked pits, tripwires and big traps all round the town; in the fight with Borgar, an approaching worg plunged a leg into one of his spiked pits and was badly hurt.¹⁴¹⁵

Afterwards he welcomed his friends at the inn in war paint and slippers and made them something like sandwiches. Ephorus told him, with some embellishment, that his trap had saved their lives, and Pitt was moved to learn that he had friends outside who he could help; he said he had also slung stones from the roof. Ephorus asked him to gather up the traps so that no children would be hurt in peacetime, and he promised to take them up unseen in the dark.¹⁶¹⁷¹⁸

When the witch hunters began to search the town, Ephorus sent him with food to a hidden hollow beside the fields. Pitt wanted to stay and defend his home, but agreed to keep out of sight for five or six days, until they came for him, once Ephorus explained that what he knew could be torn from his mind. He said he thought of Exalon as his father. Ephorus later tossed him a bun from a distance; Pitt caught it and winked.¹⁹²⁰²¹

While the companions were believed dead, Pitt told them on their return how Finart had stopped taking his remedy, changed into a wolf and attacked, and how a northern bard had changed too to stop him, until both died in the square.²²²³

After Sarah's death Ephorus found him in the storeroom, crying with his knees drawn up, and they held each other. Exalon, leaving for his own safety, entrusted him to his friends. Pitt met the young mage Katherine and cooked with her, sat between his two friends at the funeral in children's clothes, wept and hugged Sarah's gravestone, and at the last supper held the owl Turşu close.^242526272829

He saw the companions off in tears, again in children's clothes, and Ephorus urged him to take on the town's traps and defence.³⁰

When they returned long after, the Lazy Wizard was open to all and Pitt worked there openly under Exalon's protection; some customers kept their distance, but others came for his food and coffee.³¹³²

When the companions set out to help the trapped souls and to win back Sarah, Pitt came through a purple portal with the other helpers, in war paint, with a sling and a club, and took the high ground; his love for Sarah had brought him. He came back with the helpers, alive, through Exalon's magic door.^33343536
