Summary: 

Well, well.  I wondered when someone would notice that.

Wally the Wonder Badger is the resident wizard of the dungeon.  He,
along with Shreldalff the Shy, cleaned out the Evil One, and he took
over the dungeon.  He is an industrious badger, made intelligent by
accidentally nosing into Shreldalff's study.  While there, he traced
out a rune of questing on the floor (by accident, actually; he just was
chasing a spider around, but Shreldalff is not only Shy, but
credulous), and Shreldalff was intruiged enough to cast a spell of
intelligence on him to find out what quest would have been entrusted to
a badger.

Although disappointed when he found out what had been happening, Wally
was such a wonderful conversationalist, he adopted him as an
apprentice.  Having taught him everything he knew (although Wally was
able to overcome this handicap), Shreldalff and Wally went off to evict
the Evil One from the Dungeons of Doom for non-payment of rent, not to
mention keeping evil mutant creatures around, thus lowering property
values in the neighborhood.

After the battle, Shreldalff and Wally agreed that Wally should clean
out the dungeon.  Unfortunately, the people who want the Amulet of Yendor
(unnamed, except to say they are distant relations of Libby the Kid) can't
wait for the cleanup task to be finished.  Sorry.
