Lazlo Grindwidget is a gnome engineer with a house full of seemingly useless inventions and a knack for saying the wrong things at the right time. But when a troll went on a rampage in Kharanos, Lazlo was the only one who can sooth the savage beast. He saved the town by tricking the troll into one of his inventions, which teleported the troll high up in the air. After the troll crashed into the ground and surrendered, Lazlo was honored as a hero in Kharanos.
