Hello! I'm trying to gather all the information on the NPCs that travel with the party throughout the first half of the book. I've gathered some information so far, some from a document linked to these forums already and some from my own research.
What I'd like is the page that any of the following characters are mentioned:
Buppido, Sarith Kzekarit, Jimjar, Shuushar the Awakened, Ront, Eldeth Feldrun, Prince Derendil, Stool, Topsy & Turvy, Hemeth, Glabbagool, and Rumpadump. Plus any others that I may have missed.
Here's what I have so far:
Buppido
Male derro
Languages: Undercommon
Equip: Studded Leather, dagger
Guide: to Gracklstugh via southern route or Darklake
Suggest: Gracklstugh to acquire better equipment
Notes:
Wants to rejoin his people in Gracklstugh (pg 6, 51)
Believes he is the living incarnation of the derro god Diinkarazan (p 6)
Believes he is immortal (p 6)
Plans to murder the party one-by-one as divine offerings (p 6, 17)
Gracklstugh: If arriving by Darklake, Buppido can guide the party safely to a quiet dock (pg 51)
Can tell players that Gorglak is corrupt (p 58)
Abandons the party once they reach Gracklstugh, at first opportunity (pg 71)
Escape Underdark: If still with the party when they escape the underdark, he may go mad and attack the party outright (p 117)
Sarith Kzekarit
Male drow
Languages: Undercommon, Elvish
Equip: chain shirt, short sword, hand crossbow
Guide: can navigate all of Underdark but not necessarily willing (may be deceptive)
Suggest: Neverlight Grove to accept Stools offer of sanctuary
Notes:
tainted with spores from myconids corrupted by Zugtmoy, the Demo Queen of Fungi (p 7)
desire to visit Neverlight Grove due to spore taint (p 18)
did murder a drow warrior, in a fit of madness but doesnt remember (p 7)
Gracklstugh: Resists going at first, but spores cause him to change his mind (p 51)
During the Parade of Fools, Sarith acts erratically, both trying to get away (and warn the PCs away) while also being driven forward by the spores (p 72)
At the end of Parade of Fools, Sarith joins the parade (with a look of terror on his face) (p 72)
Neverlight Grove: Sarith encourages PCs to parley with the sovereign (p 88)
He becomes a drow spore servant in battle with Yestabrod (p 91)
Escape Underdark: Sarith may go mad and attack the party when they leave the Underdark (p 117)
Jimjar
Male svirfneblin spy
Languages: Common, Undercommon
Equip: studded leather, dagger, short sword, hand crossbow
Guide: to Blingdenstone via north route
Suggest: Blingdenstone can provide access to surface
LIKES TO GAMBLE!
Notes:
Is fine with visiting other interesting places, including returning Stool to Neverlight Grove (p 18)
Feels something is odd about Topsy & Turvy but does not say so unless asked (p 7)
Gracklstugh: Can tell players that Gorglak is corrupt (p 58)
Can tell players about Kazook Pickshine, the gnome alchemist (p 63)
Blingdenstone: Can guide the PCs to the Whiteshell Mine (p 100)
Escape Underdark: No mention of what happens to Jimjar, he probably stays behind.
Shuushar the Awakened
Male kuo-toa
Languages: Undercommon
Equip: shield
Guide: Darklake
Suggest: west passage toward Sloobludop to acquire boats for Darklake, possible trading opportunities; Says drow are reluctant to provoke the kuo-toa needlessly
PACIFIST!
Notes:
wants to go to Sluoobludop to spread his enlightenment to his people (p 18)
Sloobludop: May be considered a heritic or a holy man depending on the individual (p 44)
He does not recognize his fellow Kuo-Toas religious obsessions, calling them dangerous illusions. (p 44-45)
Escape Underdark: He wishes to remain in the Underdark, will leave the party (p 117)
Back to the Underdark: if Shuushar survived the first half of the book, hell be found in ruined Sloobludop as a mediator. (p 147)
Ront
Male orc (Iceshield tribe)
Languages: Orc, some Common
Equip: studded leather, shield, short sword (would prefer hide armor, great axe, javelin)

Guide: none
Suggest: wants to get home to Gauntlgrym
Notes:
She will ask a trusted party member to carry word of her fate (and Warhammer and shield, if recovered) back to Gauntlgrym in case of her death (p 6)
Establishes a connection to Gauntlgrym; if PCs bring either her or her Warhammer & shield back to the city, their reputation is enhanced. (p 121)
Prince Derendil
Male quaggoth
Languages: Undercommon, Elvish
Equip: none
Guide: none
Suggest: Wants to go to the surface world to return to Nelrindenvane
Notes:
Not really a prince, just mad due to the demon lord Fraz-Urbluu (p 6)
Nelrindenvane doesnt exist (p 6)
If proof of his madness is shown, he goes into a murderous rage (p 6)
Silken Path: Derendil can make a DC 15 Cha check to turn quogoth slaves against their drow masters. (p 32)
Escape Underdark: Derendil prefers to go to the surface, where he increasingly goes mad, sees enemies and plots everywhere, and eventually turns on the PCs. (p 117).

When they feel safe, they will strike out on their own (p 18)
They find Jimjar annoying (p 6)
Gracklstugh: They can tell the PCs that Gorglak is corrupt (p 58)

Blingdenstone: the Svirfbeblin do not want it in their city (p 100)
It will protect the PCs from other cubes (p 103)
It may leave the party to join other oozes (p 112)
If it joined the party, then it serves as an ally for the PCs in the battle for Blingdenstone, whether or not it is with the party during the battle (p 114)
