Sarpling

Sarpling is a wingless Gargoyle running a jewel and reagent shop on Terfin. His name means "snake tongue".

After hearing about the rumors of the planned destruction of the Shrines of the Principles in Ultima VII, the Avatar tried to gather information to expose the plot. Betra told the Avatar that other than himself, only Sarpling would have the needed equipment for destroying the shrines.

The Avatar found a scroll in Sarpling's shop, written by Runeb, implicating them in the conspiracy. Confronted with this, Sarpling confessed and the devious plan came to light. Runeb wanted to destroy the shrines, and frame Quan or kill him if that failed. He would then become leader of the Fellowship in Terfin.

Sarpling then cowered away in his shop, waiting for his punishment for this plot.
