 Name: Gharoch the Volatile Attribute: Magic Talent: Residuum Proficiency: Historical Lore Starting Gear: -Handmade Staff -Hedgemage Wand -Leather Chestpiece -Initiate's Sigil: Intavatni -Coarse Incense [3/3] Gharoch is reluctant to talk about their background. Partly out of wanting to keep it secret, partly because recurring memories of 'technicolor flames', 'a burning barn' 'straw horrors' and 'not welcome in the towns vicinity' are perhaps best put behind them. (and mostly because Gharoch honestly doesn't remember.) Gharoch used to be someone else, ('Gharoch' was the familiar's idea), but they've long forgotten the specifics. They keep a familiar*, one Gerald the Imp. (Not currently pictured.) Gerald when not resting on their owners shoulders or backpack; is typically fluttering around giving commentary or helping Gharoch remember things. Together the Duo have come here in search of... Funding. Also to distance themselves from prior debacles, even if those involved are unlikely to recognize 'Gharoch' now. *(fluff only, natch. If Gerald detects danger, they aren't leaving the backpack if they can help it.)

"sure thing bozz" ----- Gerald flutters around the camp, sipping soup, jumping at some of the more curious fauna. Gharoch, meanwhile settles in to rest. A good time as any to take stock of things. The job, for example. Not much, but the doors it would open held more value than the material reward, whatever it might end up being. Helpful, given the Circle wasn't always... Gharoch shook their head. It wouldn't matter, not for a while yet. The crew then? Not their first barrow, to be sure. Likely not their second or third, either. Interesting folk, though for obvious reasons not ones to take note of. Shrug. For now, they would take some time to sketch the building. More records of old structures could hardly hurt, if not likely to be new information. Something, perhaps, to stuff other, more valuable documents with. That's the trick.

Gharoch shrugs. "Typically I'd say we could handle it, six to one is very much in our favor." "But, its too small a room for most of us to engage in at once." "Not a huge deal if the dead aren't that strong, but the prospective treasure isn't compelling enough to pursue." "Although... If we had the right tools, perhaps we could open the coffins just enough to kill them with minimal risk." "We don't right now, so. moot point. But something to consider if this happens again." Ghorach will go with whichever. "hey don't i get a vote" "No."

Business concluded, the magus (and imp) made their goodbye's, fairwells, etcetera, before heading... Somewhere. ----- "bozz, you know where we're going" "Yes. well. Probably." "ahuh. think you got the map wrongside-down" "No, that fellow did say it was this way." "also said he couldn't pay anyone to take the misprints" "It was a free map, Gerald!" "how long have we been walking, bozz" "Me? Several hours, probably. You, none whatsoever." "bozz, just ask for directions already" "...Well, maybe. Just one slight problem with that." "what" "I don't know where we're going." "bozz" "bozz yer killin me here" The duo will return after finding their heading. Sometime around the market update.

"yeah wasn't like you had to smooth things over" "as usual" "Hmph." "lucky they didn't start throwing cleavers" "look, it's been a while since we were seriously in town, but you gotta have some social tact y'know" "can't keep covering for you, so unless you want to finally check in and have them handle it" "Fine, fine. I'll try." "weasel words, bozz" "Take it or leave it." At this, the Imp just starts muttering darkly before climbing back in the pack.

Gharoch would be attending the celebration, albeit for a different reason than most. Names. Faces. Lives living and lost piecemealed together from fragmentary conversation. It would be useful for sponging information without, ideally, any faux paus of demonstrated ignorance of anyone involved in the actual battle. What was learned wouldn't be for Intavatni's book. Just personal edification.

C.Lore?: 1d10 7 "I really shouldn't." The imp peeks out of the bag, following Gharoch's gaze. "bozz" "bozz no" "It'll be fine." "bozz please" "Hail, I'll take a round over here!" "oh gods here we go" Drinkin Contest 1: 1d10 7 _7 Drinkin Contest 2: 1d10 6 13 Drinkin Contest 3: 1d10 7 20 Gently, the Imp pulled Gharoch away from the fourth tankard. It was going to be enough hassle getting them home while they still walked.

"bozz wake up" "huh? oh. well." "For my two bits: Fighting takes time and draws attention. Better to hurry up a little, with respect to our cargo." "Also, it's a shame I forgot to pack Teleology; Could've passed the time guessing our cargos contents that way." "...Though, I suppose someone else might try it on our shipment? Hm." "No strong feelings about investigating the cargo, though I'd suggest assessing what we can before picking one to open." "Rather not get caught out because we didn't listen for movement, ticking, whirring or the like." B: Go faster ~: Neutral on looking at the cargo. Will go with whichever.

"I don't suppose-" "no, i won't fly into a wheel, suffering terrible, agonizing crunching to stop their cart" "-oh. well. You don't know that's what I was going to ask." "ahuh. sure you weren't." "Nnnnnno? Mostly? Second-idea-at-best?" "and the first idea, was?" "...Drop a turret right in front of a wheel, their cart crashes into the turret and has to take time to upright letting us get away?" "eh, heard worse ideas. least this one might work." D: Drop a Sentry Turret ahead of the other carts wheel to crash/stagger the other cart. "If someone has other ideas, I'd like to hear them before I go through with this." "Which, that cart is getting closer, so sooner is preferred..."
