Matthew Fulgin

Matthew Fulgin is a young orphan who the Party encountered during their journey to Mordryn's Lair. He was rescued by the Party by a group of angry bandits that he stole from, and they would use him as a scout for the lich's cave.

Run In With Bandits
The Party encounters Matthew when they hear angry shouting off the their travel path. They find a bandit leader and his right hand cornering Matthew. When confronted by the Party, the bandit leader claims that the boy stole a locket with a picture of his wife from him; the boy Matthew claims that the bandit is lying and that is left from his mother. It turns out that Matthew did in fact steal from the bandits. The locket is returned, and the bandits attempt to take Matthew away to beat him and then enlist him in their gang. After some disagreements, they fight with the Party and later retreat, leaving Matthew with the Party.

Scouting the Lich's Cave
Matthew claims that he is stealing to help himself and his sister. He also offers his services for payment - Elius asks him to scout for the group and offers to pay him 5 gp. When they locate the cave, Matthew scouts the lair, finding weird magical runes after going a short distance in. After a disagreement, he receives partial payment from Allen (1 sp) and promises the rest when they get out of the cave. He leaves, and then immediately runs back in to warn the Party about the prowling ogres Ree and Scree.

Hiding from the ogres, Matthew sticks with the Party, entering the lich's cave. After seeing them slay some undead and enchanted armor, he is with them when they find Mordryn's Sword. After seeing the revival of Mordryn the Arch-Lich, Matthew flees the group while they are dealing with Ree and Scree the next morning.

Allen notes that he needs to still pay Matthew, and he later passes the money on to Gluggur to perhaps pass on to Matthew.
