NPC

brownie scout

• Classic Era

One of the more dangerous roaming enemies in Lesser Faydark. They're tiny and hard to see, and they cruise around at SoW speed looking for people to Kill on Sight. Has a chance to spawn a Tainted brownie.{{InlineEra|epics|Epic Quests Era}} ===Lore=== Brownies live all over the island continent of Faydwer and are more rarely found traveling far and wide from there. Most often, however, they are found in the Faydark Forest, where their isolationist communities keep to themselves in the darkest corners of the great woods. While not an evil or immoral race as a rule, brownies are so fiercely xenophobic and territorial that they usually attack interlopers on sight. Brownies are short and lean, typically wearing clothing that matches the underbrush or trees in color. They have tanned and ruddy complexions and dark hair, and commonly wear face paint for decoration. Brownies are paranoid sort, and they often imagine enemies where there are none. Young scouts are sent throughout Faydwer and beyond to gather information on other races and fey courts — since clearly these races have little better to do than to conspire against the brownies. Scouts do not earn prestige unless they return with proof of such plots, so it is hardly surprising that most are able to locate what passes for evidence. Other brownie scouts set out to collect ingredients or simply to satisfy their youthful wanderlust.
