Ambergris Ambergris ( full name Amber Gristle O ' Maul ) was a dwarf cleric of Dumathoin and formerly a member of Cavus Dun . Description . Ambergris was a female dwarf convert to the Shadowfell , part shade but not wholly one . Ambergris did not look like a Shadovar , but appeared more like the offspring of a duergar and a Delzoun dwarf . Ambergris had long black hair that was partially braided and a thick , crooked nose . Personality . Ambergris tried not to kill when possible , but she was not reluctant to kill when needed . She disposed of a number of her Cavus Dun cohorts , but she saved Afafrenfere , claiming she minded his company the least . Despite having been kicked out of Citadel Adbar , Ambergris was nonetheless loyal to her dwarven heritage . She refused to allow anyone to ransack and steal from Gauntlgrym , and when she heard that the Netherese were fighting against Drizzt Do ' Urden , she decided to help him on behalf of King Bruenor Battlehammer , " like any good dwarf [ would ] . " History . Background . Amber Gristle O ' Maul was a member of the O ' Maul clan in Citadel Adbar . After an unnamed crime , Ambergris was sent by the judges in Citadel Adbar to spy in the Shadowfell . It was either that or be set to work for 20 years as penance . Cavus Dun . Ambergris ' skill , both with her mace and as a cleric , was the reason why Cavus Dun accepted her into their ranks and sponsored her for admission into the Empire of Nethril . She had spent a little over a year in the Shadowfell before she as sent to aid the Netherese in Neverwinter , along with other members of Cavus Dun . As a spy , she was not averse to sabotaging certain Cavus Dun missions , particularly those targeting Drizzt Do ' Urden , whom , as a close companion to the renowned dwarven king Bruenor Battlehammer , she decided to protect . When her company was pitted against him and his companions in Gauntlgrym , she turned on them , shoving Glorfathel into the primordial ' s pit and paralyzing Afafrenfere before defecting to Drizzt ' s side . In order to keep Afafrenfere loyal , she pretended to cast a " geas " on him . Travels . Ambergris and Afafrenfere then traveled for a time with Drizzt and his companions , which included Artemis Entreri , Dahlia Sin ' felle , and later Effron . Their adventures included time in Port Llast . When the group ' s attempt to rescue Guenhwyvar from the grasp of Draygo Quick in the Shadowfell failed , Ambergris fled , leaving her companions behind . She was later contacted by Jarlaxle and provided him information that allowed those companions to be rescued . Reunited , they continued to travel together , finding themselves in Icewind Dale where they spent a night on the edge of Iruladoon that lasted eighteen years ( until 1484 DR ) . Afterwards , Drizzt opted to stay in Icewind Dale , but Ambergris left the Dale with Entreri , Dahlia , Afafrenfere , and Effron . Not long afterwards , Ambergris and her companions were attacked in Port Llast by a drow company led by Tiago Baenre . Ambergris was captured and forced to work as a slave in the Gauntlgrym mines belonging to Q ' Xorlarrin . She was rescued by Drizzt Do ' Urden and the reborn Companions of the Hall and reunited with Afafrenfere , with whom she began journeying to the Monastery of the Yellow Rose in Damara . Never intending to stay at the monastery for long , Ambergris readily joined Jarlaxle in his attempt to interfere in the events in Lurar during the Darkening . Afafrenfere joined them , his penance to his order requiring him to be Grandmaster Kane ' s eyes in the North for a time . Possessions . Ambergris carried a mace , nearly 4 ft ( 1 . 2 m ) in length , with a core of polished hardwood and black leather handle , which she called " Skullbreaker " ( or " Skullcrusher " ) . After the attack in Port Llast , the mace fell into the hands of the drider Yerrininae and it was unclear whether Ambergris was able to retrieve it . Ambergris also possessed a enchanted black pearl necklace that could help disguise both herself and her companions . Ambergris also carried a small , wooden jug , when opened , could produce a geyser of water . Relationships . Afafrenfere . Ambergris and Afafrenfere appeared to become close friends during and after their time working for Cavus Dun . Ambergris believed that Afafrenfere didn ' t belong with the other Shadovar and that the only reason he entered or stayed in the Shadowfell was because he fell in love with Parbid . She seemed quite fond of him . During their travels with Drizzt , the two often set up fights in bars in order to make a little money on the side . After their rescue from Gauntlgrym , they traveled to Damara together and eventually rejoined Jarlaxle .
