History
In 1372 DR, Purfbin Doogrick "hitched a ride" in Falias Emberthumb's caravan trying to escape jain sentence in Waterdeep after he was accused of lifting a purse off of a Waterdhavian noble, Lord Thunderfist. The disgruntled noble threatened the gnome with hanging with no proper trial after Purfbin tried to claim that the Lord's purse simply fell on him like an apple off a tree.

During the travel along the Trade Way, Zhentarim agents disguised as bandits ambushed the trade caravan and magically abducted one of the caravan guard hirelings, a fighter Talarenne, leaving behind her best friend, later came to be known as the hero of Daggerford. Purfbin Doogrick aided the caravaners fighting off the bandits and agreed to help with the hero's quest of rescue of their friend in exchange for splitting the loot.

At the site of the ambush the duo met Astriel Shalyn, secretly an agent of the Lords' Alliance, who looked somewhat similar to the hero's kidnapped friend.
