Character Details
Tinkwell came to Ptolus twenty years ago, drawn by rumors of the vast dungeon complex beneath the city — a megadungeon of legendary proportions that no one has fully mapped. She joined the Delver's Guild on her first day and has been descending into the darkness ever since, specializing in abjuration magic to protect delving parties from the magical traps, wards, and curses that riddle the deeper levels. Her maps of the upper dungeon levels are the guild's most valuable resource, meticulously annotated with trap locations, monster territories, and safe rest points. Tinkwell has noticed that the deeper levels are growing more active — sealed doors opening, ancient wards failing, and things that should be imprisoned stirring in their cells. Something beneath Ptolus is waking up.
"I annotate everything. My margins have margins. Knowledge saves lives."
"Discovery. The dungeons beneath Ptolus hold the key to understanding the Spire itself."
"The Delver's Guild is my family. My maps keep them alive down there."
"I get so absorbed in studying a magical ward or inscription that I forget about the danger."

Bright hazel behind wire-rimmed spectacles
Ruddy with ink stains on her fingers and cheeks
Curly auburn, barely contained by a leather headband
A diminutive gnome wearing practical delving gear — reinforced robes over leather armor, with a bandolier of wands and scroll cases across her chest. Her spectacles have multiple interchangeable lenses for detecting magic, and a self-inking quill is always tucked behind one large ear. A faint shimmer of protective magic clings to her like a second skin.
