Smythin is a human captive who can be found in the Goblin Camp during Act One.

At least give me a sword!

Involvement

Act One

As the party approach the area above the spider pit in the Shattered Sanctum of the Goblin Camp, they encounter goblin warriors Druk and Bez planning to push Smythin into the pit. If left alone, Smythin is shoved in and dies on impact.

It is possible to save Smythin if Druk and Bez are killed or removed from the room. This can be done in a number of ways, such as pushing or throwing the goblins themselves into the pit. To prevent the entire camp from becoming hostile toward the party, it is possible to throw a Potion of Invisibility at Smythin. Alternatively, a party member can cast  Minor Illusion, lure them into Dror Ragzlin's room and then close the gate.

If Smythin is saved, he flees and disappears permanently; party members with the  Folk Hero background gain the  Saved by a Thread inspiration.

Escorting Sazza out of the grove prevents Smythin from spawning and also prevents party members from getting any inspiration involving him. However, it is possible to escort her out after rescuing Smythin at the goblin camp.

Notes

• Smythin can be drawn toward the party with  Command: Approach; however, if he does not move far enough away from the goblins, Druk runs up to him and shoves him anyway.
• Regardless of whether Smythin falls, once he is shoved, he dies.
