Carp Alderleaf

Carp Alderleaf is the son of Qelline Alderleaf, owner of Alderleaf Farm in the village of Phandalin. Carp is a spirited and curious youth who often neglects his chores to explore the wilds around Phandalin.

Involvement in the Phandelver Adventure
When the Heroes of Phandalin first arrived in the village, they soon overheard rumors of a gang of thuggish brutes who, calling themselves the Redbrands, were terrorizing the townsfolk. In the course of their investigation, the Heroes of Phandalin spoke with Carp, who told them that he had seen a couple of "big, ugly bandits" in the woods near Alderleaf Farm.

Upon investigation into Carp's story, the Heroes of Phandalin discovered a secret entrance into the Redbrands' headquarters beneath Tresendar Manor.
