    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

    Yeah but at first he accidentally gave them to Valana, that was his subconscious mind unable to accept the idea that you could read! :] And you are right, I am lucky I didn't get booted out on the street. :p

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

    Have you seen your intelligence score? Would you even understand the information if he gave it to you? :D You notice how he sat you in a corner while he gave the rest of us books right? /popcorn ;)

    Thurst nods in acquiescence and returns to his work.

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

    In an uncharacteristic act of social grace, Thurst thanks Livbovic for the assistance. Taking a quick glance to make sure his companions aren't within hearing range, Thurst delicately poses a question to the librarian, "I was wondering just how extensive a roster the guild keeps on its members...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

    Working late today, so I don't have access to my Ptolus guide at the moment. So I don't know if any original blueprints have survived, or if the Delver's library would even have access to them. Please bear with me. ;) I am mainly working under the assumption that this is information that...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

    Thurst had remained calm and quiet throughout the proceedings. Even when the staff landed on his foot, he kept his reactions to himself. Ella returning while speaking orcish had however sent him over the edge. While the only visible sign of his discomfort was a slight nervous tick, he...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

    "I would hope none of you have been here before. If that crazy fool ever discovers you were already a Guildsman, well it wouldnae be pretty." "Well, here we are. Turn on the charm, and hope they donnae have an embarrassing ritual for new members."

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

    Thurst eyes his surroundings discontently. Unconcerned with whether or not the apprentices can hear him, he grumbles to himself, "Barmy wizards..."

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

    "Well, aye, it was good soup. It just needed a bit less dwarf," Thurst admits reluctantly. "Whalp, lead the way me fragile little lambs." Thurst shrugs and follows the others out onto the street.

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

    Upon returning to the library, Thurst had turned away from his new companions and turned to his thoughts. However the sound of a staff hitting the floor brought him out of his reverie. Realization and then horror dawned in Thurst's eyes as he pointed a finger at Ella, "YOU! Ye're the daft bird...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

    I might as well field this now, short story concerning the heavy mace. I named this character before I understood the naming conventions for dwarves. I ended up rationalizing that the Techpriest was a nickname acquired while working in Ptolus. And that the dwarven nickname Steamhammer was...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

    Thurst walks purposefully back to his work area, never noticing the varied assortment of strange looks he gets from the staff members passed on the way there. He doesn't bother changing, for a follower of Teun there is no holier vestment than the clothing you wear while working on machines. Let...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

    Ohhhh, that's good. I never thought of it before, but I hope my unusual schedule doesn't cause me to lag behind. I am not a morning person. :p Edit: I took a few liberties with Teun. I haven't found much information on her, and I seem to recall one of the guides saying embellishment was...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

    With apologies to Nadiar for referencing Weldin. It seemed like a bardish thing to do. :p I figured since it was from Thurst's point of view, you could always refute it later if you get recruited. A few questions: does Thurst need to pray for his spells now, or are we assuming he has already...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

    Temporarily ignoring the staff and apprentices around him, Thurst thoughtfully appraises the master of the house. Normally unafraid of the wizard's sharp tongue and harsh temper, Thurst nevertheless decides that now is not the right time to provoke the man with his idea of "witty banter"...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

    The sound of a muffled explosion can be heard as reverberations are sent throughout the lower levels of Kunstlerhaus. "Fan-tastic!", shouts the dwarf. A few moments pass until the sounds of the harried mechanic can be heard from outside the library, reassuring terrified servants. "Aye, aye...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

    The idea that the staff live in fear of the crazy dangerous boiler (and Thurst by association) amuses me greatly. I can picture some poor scullery maid lieing awake in her bed/pallet, bordering on tears, as she hears the unmistakable sounds of a very drunken dwarf banging on the boiler with...

    Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

    You mentioned questions about additional background information, well I thought of one, maybe. :p How much technology does Erac Kunstler employ in his household? I'm not sure how important this is, it might just determine what Thurst will complain about. I would expect someone in Erac's...
