Yeslick Orothiar

Yeslick is a dwarf of the Orothair tribe who claimed the Cloakwood Mine as their home, until one of them breached the wall between them and the river, wiping out almost the entire clan almost a century ago. He was one of the survivors. He went to Sembia where he met Rieltar one told of him of the mine. It proved to be a huge mistake, as Rieltar betrayed Yeslick and forced him to tell of the location of the mines and he is imprisoned ever since, until the party attacks the Iron Throne operation site. When he joins the party, he has no items in his inventory. He will leave the party in fourteen days if the mine is not flooded by then.

Biography
"When asked about his past, Yeslick quietly states that he was once a member of the dwarven clan Orothair. For generations they have used the iron mine in the center of the Cloakwood as their home, but almost a century ago, catastrophe struck. As skilled as they are undergound, dwarves ocassionally make mistakes. One such incident cost them dearly. They apparently breached an underground river and the resulting flood claimed nearly all of the clan. Yeslick was one of the few survivors, and made his way to Sembia to start a new life. There he made the acquaintance of Rieltar, a member of the Iron Throne, and was hired as a personal smith. They became friends, and eventually Yeslick told him of his past. This proved to be his undoing, as Rieltar used this information to formulate a plan to expand the Iron Throne power base in the Sword Coast. Rieltar betrayed his supposed friend and forced him to reveal the location of the mines. Yeslick has been imprisoned ever since so as not to reveal the site to others. Now he wishes for nothing but the chance to right the wrongs that have been committed using his ancestral home."
