Q is the Lord's Alliance's gnome quartermaster that has been assigned for the party. He has been assigned to give logistical support and supplies for the party's missions

Q looks like an aeronaut. This is stange because there are no airships on the world of Faerun, until now.

 
When the party is on missions for the Lord's Alliance, Q can aquire needed tools, weapons, animals, and intel if available and to the extent that the LA has the resouces to spare.

 
Q has been building an airship for the party. It is a prototype like no other vehicle known on Faerun. It is almost finished. There is one component that is essential for its funtion and the party must undertake a dangerous mission to aquire it!
