Grok Half-Orc Cleric2

Grok feigns stereotypical indifference to John's examination of the book, but John gets a creeping feeling that someone is reading over his shoulder.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"You want to learn to read Grok?"

Grok instantly claps his finger to his lips to "shush" John. Then he leans in close and whispers to him, "John really teach Grok to read?" The Half-Orc just beams at the wizard!

 

[Scott DeWar]

"yes"

The with a quick wink to the half-orc, he turns to evey one and aasks "So, how welld id every one sleep?" His normal cheerieness seems to be absent, today.

Roderic rises early, and after praying to Pelor and Heironeous, joins the others. "Good morn to you all, friends. Let us hope today we can get to the bottom of this mystery."

 

[Yttermayn]

The sore on the back of John's arm no longer itches, it's just numb. It is also bigger. A black field of infected skin two inches across shows that John's body is slowly losing the battle. Tiny movements in the ruptured part of the sore remind John of the worm-like things he saw in it before. His stomach rebels until he looks away. Once he acquired the book, the comprehend languages spell he cast allowed him to finally understand the mysterious tome. The title on the cover said "Guide Naturala of the Eighth World, by Chasre of Garasth" Inside, it contained details of the bygone era of Tsathzar Rho and describes its flora, fauna, and geography. John begins to get an understanding of the vast gulf between the author's time period and his own. In his own time, Tsathzar Rho was an incomprehensibly powerful magic user. Not content to dominate the prime material plane and the abyssal planes, he reached for realms beyond the known universe. It is speculated that he succeeded, for his tower vanished shortly after a strange and alien host of beings appeared. Though the beings left with the tower, the effect upon the local ecology was dire. Once ordinary creatures began to change, their blood turning black and their bodies sprouting horrific deformities. The land ultimately became barren but for the mutated creatures that inhabited it. The author makes pessimistic predictions about the future of the region in the epilogue.
OOC: +25 each to Grok and John for a touching rp scene.

OOC: How is the "bump" on the back of Grok's neck?

 

[Yttermayn]

OOC: How is the "bump" on the back of Grok's neck?

OOC: Someone will have to look at it and tell him, or he will have to explore it with his fingers. He can feel that it is numb now instead of painful, though.

Grok Half-Orc Cleric2

Grok says quietly to the wizard, "John you look Grok neck," and he bows his head and turns to give John a better view.
