Brick decides to claim the prison as the site for his underground volcano lair. Seeing as we might not be heading back this way for a while everyone seems to let him have it. I think it was more to do with keeping him quiet. When we get back to town we are able to get a bit of rest, buy items etc. After seeing all the biomantic equipment and reading the manual, Brick decides it might be interesting to see if he can get a little biomancy done on himself. Grinning at himself he has a little think about where he could get it done and BINGO a certain biomantic brothel pops into his mind. Might as well mix a little pleasure with business. He gets a small sack and dips into the party gold and heads out the door.It doesn't take him long to remember the directions and finds himself at a familier looking door with a hatch in it. Feeling a little electricity pulse along his limbs he knocks on the door. The hatch slides open and a face appears. "What do you want" he says. Brick replies "I am interested in a little biomantic conversion my self, I have money". He holds the sack up. "Can I come in and speak to someone"The hatch closes and the door is unbolted and opened and Brick is ushered inside. The same ogre bouncer is there and he guides Brick into another room. Inside this room the walls are lined with velvet drapes and an old woman sits behind a desk. "Back so soon, what will it be this time, are you still feeling adventurous, maybe a little group action". Just as he is about to speak to woman motions him to be quiet. "interested in a bit of biomancy yourself", she fumbles down and reaches into a drawer in the desk and brings out a huge brochure. "Have a look through these and pick out what you like, I think you will find that we can cater to any taste in body alteration. Where do your tastes lie". Just as he is about to speak the woman again motions him and closes her eyes. She produces a ledger and begins to write in it with an ornate quill pen. "You are feeling adventurous aren't you, how does this sound". She finishes writing and turns the page so Brick can read what is there. Bricks eyes light up, "how did you know what I was thinking". She replies "It is my business to no what my customers think, this amount of conversion will be quite expensive, I know that you will find the results, most enjoyable. The full conversion will take a while to settle down and you may discover knew abilities not included in this package, biomancy is not an exact science at the moment, more of an art form. To be able to express yourself in body transformation brings us closer to the gods". With that she motions him to go through into the next room.This room is set out a lot differerently to the same door he passed through when he first visited. Inside there is a tank full of glowing green biomantic fluid. Casting his eyes over a table of equipment that look more suited to a torture chamber he is guided to an empty tank where he is sealed inside. From another door the old woman enters, leading a fat mage together with a group of other mages in hoods. The fat mage says "dont't worry we will take good care of you". As he is speaking the fluid begins to bubble up from the floor and begin to fill the tank. Brick begins to feel that he might have made a terrible mistake and bangs on the glass trying to escape the tank. The fluid has reached up to his neck now and he is finding it almost impossible to move. He takes a big lungful of air and is submerged into the fluid. The mage steps closer to the tank and whispers to him "your new body is going to be grown in that tank next to you, it could take up to five days to reach maturity, unfortunatly we still can't grow the skeleton, so that will need to be your own, that is why I have these gentlemen with me, when we remove your skeleton they will shrink it to size and insert it into your new body. You may find some of these sensations a little unpleasant".Over the next five days Brick is disected and prodded in places he never knew he had. When finally the time comes for the tank to open all of the fluid rushes out of the tank and Brick sprawls to the floor. After that he is allowed to clean himself up and inspect his new body. A big mirror is wheeled into the room and Brick marvels at his new form. His new reflection is that of a tiefling female with small curved red horns. The bony growths of his goliath heritage still remain on the tops of his (her) arms and long black hair cascades over his shoulders. As well as having a tiefling tail he also has a flexible tentacle tail as well. Looking down his arms and the inside of his legs he finds that he has small suction cups like an octopus. Spinning so that he can see himself in the mirror he thinks they are not going to believe what I have done. I think I should change my name as well.Meanwhile in the real world everyone else is relaxing and preparing their equipment for their next adventure. They notice that Brick has been missing with no contact for three days now so they assume he is just off carrousing around various houses of disrepute. About six days have passed and still no word from Brick they are walking down a street to go back to their accomidation when they hear a womans voice. "hi guys you are not going to believe what I have just done". A rather buxom female tiefling bounds up to Urien, one tail coils around Cricket while the other tentacle tail coils around Kain pulling them close. She has Brick's jazz flute strapped to her back while she carries a golden lute. Kain whirls around when he feels something try to unhook his money pouch. "sorry about that these things seem to have a mind of their own at the moment. The woman I spoke to said there might be a glitches but they should iron themselves out. By the way I go by the name of Ruby now..."----GM's note - written by Brick's player. Ah, Paul... What have you done? <evil chuckle></blockquote>
