Cheese
Cheese is a young gnome from Cannon Court, whom the DM calls a scrawny 16-year-old kid LEV E1·01:26:44 LEV E1·01:34:20. He says he is a thinker and a planner and carries a trapper keeper everywhere LEV E1·01:25:50. His mother mocks his runes and spells and says there will be "No magic mancy in this house" LEV E1·01:28:20. He wears the hat and coat of his older brother Spaulding LEV E1·01:30:26, and he casts Locate Object, which he calls "The Waldo" LEV E1·01:30:14 LEV E1·01:34:00.
Cheese is a young gnome wizard from Cannon Court whose parents forbid magic and hold up his missing brother Spaulding as the perfect son LEV E1·01:28:20 LEV E1·01:30:00. In the first episode he finds a magical object in a hidden foundry, takes the stone from its chest, and flees invisible after Marcid marks him with Hunter's Mark LEV E1·01:42:42 LEV E1·01:45:18 LEV E1·01:45:36. Marcid knocks him unconscious in Jack's hovel at the end of the episode LEV E1·02:20:03. Later he hides inside Stimey, and when Marcid insults Spaulding he hits Marcid, who is restrained, and knocks him out LEV E2·00:20:35 LEV E2·00:54:54 LEV E2·00:55:27.
At the lake he reads the bell as cursed and the ritual as half-done, and he sees Spaulding's reflection and promises to come back for him LEV E3·01:15:41 LEV E3·01:32:45 LEV E3·01:39:58. He explains the pilgrimage to the party, saying that people are told the longer they stay on the coast the luckier they will be, and that he has been too afraid to go LEV E4·02:01:28. He tells Alistair "The name's Cheese" and later realizes that the map is architectural rather than arcane and that it will all come down LEV E4·01:47:33 LEV E4·02:20:15.
On the Ramble he casts Locate Object and learns through Stimey that the device is on the roof LEV E5·01:02:59. He climbs the roof, casts Shatter, is knocked out by the lightning and blown off the roof, and the DM narrates his last thought as that he could not get it done and Spaulding is still out there LEV E5·01:32:39 LEV E5·01:34:51 LEV E5·01:37:48. Myrtle catches him, and he wakes after Cure Wounds LEV E5·01:37:43 LEV E5·01:51:09. Revived by Myrtle, he casts Fireball on Alamaria and the harpies, saying he let fear rule him his entire life LEV E6·00:17:04 LEV E6·00:17:59 LEV E6·00:20:02. He catches the falling tablet with Mage Hand LEV E6·00:58:41. He asks the elders for a ship, and Tulwar asks Sunny to vouch for him LEV E6·01:04:10 LEV E6·01:04:49. At the end the DM has him aboard the ship with Jack at the helm, and he waits in the crow's nest, where Ayda Aguefort looks at his Trapper Keeper and gives him a book of spells LEV E6·02:03:29 LEV E6·01:51:34 LEV E6·01:54:16 LEV E6·01:57:04.
