Dwayne

Dwayne is a delver the party has encountered twice so far.  He has a distinctive slow, sad voice and cute flippers, though as the party has never seen another delver, they can't be sure these traits are in fact unique to him.  In a rare departure from the usual source for nicknames, Dwayne was given his name by Ashra because "he seems like a Dwayne."

The party first met him underneath Stone Step during Season Three. He was in the service of Tyro Avampour and Poetry Brysis, tunneling from an area of natural caves into the dungeon under Stone Step. The party, having just come from said dungeon, asked Dwayne why he hasn't just gone along the route that they had just taken. After some wacky hijinks involving Shiolay and Tobo being separated from the rest of the party, Dwayne headed off along the party's previous route and the party continued along the route that Dwayne had just carved.
The party encountered Dwayne again in the Underdark during Season Seven Episode Ten, where he crashed through the wall of their tunnel, chased by drow with whips.  He chewed on one of the party's boats a bit.  While the rest of the party traded with the drow, Dwayne happened upon Claire and Snake, who were playing Hide and Seek.  Claire found him uniquely adorable and talked to him, discovering that the drow were able to keep him as a slave because the nearby walls didn't have enough precious metals for him to live on if he attempted to leave.  She offered him gold with which to escape on the condition that he eat them a direct tunnel from there to Baldur.  In the next episode, Dwayne did successfully escape with the help of Ghost Sound used to simulate the drow's alarm.  Ashra gave him an additional pound of gold so that he could take a detour in the opposite direction, over the village of yan-ti, and then rejoin the party, thus shifting the blame for his departure to the yan-ti.  The party met up with him after fighting the black dragon, and he dug them a tunnel all the way to Baldur, constantly shielded by Ethan's Misdirection to Fauntleroy.  Upon reaching the mind flayer city, Dwayne parted ways with the company, taking with him a parting gift from Claire of a last hundred gold.  (His consumption of this gift was described by Snake as "the most disgusting thing [he'd] ever seen", and this is coming from someone who's seen Ashra eat.)
