Late one night in Shadowdale, a very grungy Cobannon stumbled into town. He was heard manically talking to citizens of Shadowdale about being lost for days in some sort of maze. Convinced that people of the labyrinth were still after him, he ran down the streets screaming like a ninny. Word is that he passed out in the street and was later dragged into a bed at the Old Skull Inn.
The experience has left him extremely paranoid of gnomes offering jobs, and portals leading to anywhere.
\\whoever made the "Friends Like These.." quest is a sadistic bastard.
