Tauro

Tauro is a red dragon wyrmling and the son of Daggerspine. The party rescued him from getting eaten by Shad'ro Widowvane's drow warden encampment. The drow had Tauro strung up from a tree, and he had been partially eaten. Tauro is a small red dragon with a big chunk of his tail missing, and one wing that is smaller and shrivelled compared to the other. 
Olivia managed to convince Shad'ro to exchange the dragon for information about the escaped prisoner Andrith Shadowbane. After the party gathered information about Andrith from the feathered serpent tome, Shad'ro released Tauro. The party often credits themselves with his release, but it really seems like he managed to get out by himself. 
Tauro traveled with the party back to Bannar's Landing, but told the party he wanted to travel around the town rather than through it. He split off, and the party went into town to witness the events of the Iron Guard assault and Wyssa's meteor swarm. The party was forced to flee and they ended up losing track of Tauro. 
About a week later, when the party arrived in Tamvrien, Vahlka was nearly robbed by a small boy with red hair and dark skin who stole coins from her purse while she stood in the street. She attempted to "Compelled Duel" him with a spell, but it had no effect. She finally caught him, but he cast "Charm Person" on her and she released him. When she realized that he'd charmed her, she tore after him again. When the rest of the party followed, he said "Crap, it's you!" And bolted! Curious and/or mad about theft, the party chased him into an alleyway, caught him, and forced him to give back their gold right before he entered what appeared to be an abandoned house. He finally broke free of the hold by turning into a pigeon and zooming into the house. Barkley and Olivia tried to follow him through the window of the house - they were met with a room absolutely FILLED with gold, and also a bunch of random crap like hats and bags and stuff that the "kid" had pilfered. The kid was hanging from the ceiling with a crowbow pointed at them, when the party started to realize that it was in fact Tauro! He revealed his true identity. The party argued about whether or not to fight him or to let him be, and eventually Olivia managed to get them to leave the house. Vahlka went to go tell the guard that he was there, but when the party brought the guard back to the house, Tauro and his horde were gone.
