OOC: Hey, not everyone can be a snazzy "Draconic" Sorcerer! And when geomancy and hydromancy are too limited fields, the logical step is simply a combination of talents! ;)
Or, "Well, me pap was an earth genasi and me mum was a water genasi."
(This is based on actual events, pretty sure)
Grin's eyes would widen a bit at the mention of fighting a mage specializing in earth magic "Did he say his name was Miraj Vizaan by chance?" The shifter would ask excitedly. "I was told that this is where he may be hiding out..." He will say before pausing and tapping a clawed finger to his lips and think a moment. "some other guy... named Olaf JanKeelhauledson was waving around a hand that was missing a few fingers and was cursing a..... "Olhydra curst dragonborn and his dwarven side kick"... not sure if that is related though. "Grin will say as his eyes move from the half elf... to the dragonborn... then to the dwarf.
"No, his name was Quarbo, I believe. Say, maybe you saw him escape? He was walking on the ceiling, so he would have been hard to miss if you passed him?"
Gotrek returns to the conversing half-elf and shifter, holding his Axe in one hand and his javelin in another. When he gets there, he puts the weapons away. Hearing Grin mention Olaf, "Yeah we met him, but it's best we chat when we are safe."
Turning to Tibold, "If you guys don't think you can carry Thromkor, the only other option I see, is I will take Cole up to Renwick's, you two stay here and look after Thromkor, and I won't be gone long."
if there are no complaints, Gotrek will pick Cole up and take him to Renwick's Laboratory.
Grin can carry 120 pounds and has 85 pounds of stuff currently lol!
"I am pretty sure I killed that guy that was walking on the celing when we came in" Grin will say rubbing his chin. "I will help carry your friend but I dont think I can do it alone".
(Can Ostara carry the other person untill she has to leave :p)
(OOC: There is no phrase to get into the Crypt. The phrase is used to get from the Garden into the Monastery!). You come up the stairs to the landing where there is the door to the Garden (where the phrase is required) and the steps continue up to Renwick's laboratory. Now where?
Grin is impressed by what he sees, carrying some of the gear of the wounded companion. "Man, walking through the open door was way easier than this but this is much more impressive" The Shifter will say with a smile.
When they get to the entrance of the Lab, Gotrek knocks on the door, "Renwick, are you home?" he then turns to Grin and whispers, "Be careful as he wont recognise you."

“Of course I am home, where else would I be, young Battle Rager” the voice of an old man says. The party makes its way into a room that has been fitted out as a laboratory, with work tables covered in alchemical apparatuses and shelves full of strange curios and dusty clay jars. The windows have been bricked up, and cobwebs hang thick in the ceiling corners. The room is lit be five sconces (two immediately either side of the doorway the party is standing in, and one each in the middle the east, south and west walls), containing burned our torches that are somehow generating light. Standing with his back to them and appearing to be reading on some sort of lectern, whilst a pen controlled by a spectral floating hand makes notes on another lecturn to the right, is a human figure. On the left-hand of the figure’s head can be seen the bowl of a large pipe from which every now and then puffs of smoke come out.
The figure turns around, looks Grin up and down, and says “of course I recognise him, the questions is do the rest of you know who and what he is?” He then looks at Cole and Thromkor’s unconscious bodies and says “I gave you something to prevent that but did you make use of it. No! Like youth the world over, you were just in too much of a hurry.”He thinks for a minute and says “I heard a loud bang not long ago – woke me up from my nap – and thought it was probably you lot mucking around next door or downstairs; not quite sure where.” He looks at the wooden chest being carried by Tibold and the scrolls poking out of the party member’s back packs, sits down and says “I suppose you’d better tell me all about it!”
Gotrek gently puts down Cole, putting Cole's pack next to him. He then grabs a blanket out of Cole's backpack (if there isn't one in there, will get out his), quickly folds it and tucks under Cole's head. He then ensures Thromkor is equally cared for before realising how tired he is himself. Gotrek plonks himself down on the couch, gets out his pipe and realises he is rather low on leaf and mutters something in dwarvish that probably shouldn't be repeated. "Who and what he is? His name is Grin and he is probably the reason we are all alive. Anything else isnt of importance as long as he stays on the right side. If he wants to tell me more, he can, but we all have secrets. And yes,eso much has happened since we saw you last but first, could I trouble you for some leaf for my pipe?" he says with
(More will come, i just want to see what happens here first.)
(Ooc: I will also note here, the tenderness Gotrek is showing is not necessarily because he is becoming 'soft' but because these companions have earned his true respect. Which doesn't come lightly)
Gotrek gives a hearty laugh. "Good man!" he puts some leaf in his pipe, lights it and takes a pull. He sits back further into the chair and thinks for a moment.
"Where do I begin?.. since we saw you last we took the prisoners out of the monastery and we tested for the night. On our way back in, we did find your gift, but no one is using it as of now, as you can clearly see." Gotrek roughly gestures to his companions on the ground, takes another draw of his pipe, "This is quite good." he says before continuing. "Then we ran into some gray dwarves, the damned traitors. Happily dispatched of them, although we did let one walk.. Following that we ran into some creepy monk that didn't speak and just attacked us. We found out later that the monk was one of the higher ups, which is good news I guess." at this stage, Gotrek is looking quite relaxed, maybe even slightly dazed but he continues, "She had some pretty treasure which is always nice. Then we found a whole bunch of scrolls and books but ther were more of Thromkors interest, possibly you might enjoy reading them as well. More exploring lead us to more of the damned monks but at least these ones spoke. Long story short we fought and won. Then we decided we needed to rest somewhere, so we barricaded ourselves in the book place which probably wasn't very smart as surprise surprise, we got attacked. Being tired and all that fight was a real struggle but that is where we met Grin and that is what has happened so far."
Gotrek sits back and relaxes for a few moments, dragging on his pipe periodically. That slightly dazed look is now more than slightly
Grin will place the equipment he had been carrying on the ground next to the Thromkor before looking towards Gotrek and then to Renwick. "Ah! so you have heard of me friend..." The shifter will say approaching the old man and extending a hand for a handshake. "I am a fairly successful private investigator so I shouldn't be surprised but it is nice to know that my reputation is able to reach fine outstanding individuals like yourself even in more... remote... locations such as this." Grin will say with a smile motioning with his other hand around the room."I was tasked with tracking down a dangerous Mud Sorcerer by the name of Miraj Vizaan. My business associate Ostara and I were following up on a tip as to his whereabouts when we ran into your friends here." Grin will say with a smile, looking back from Renwick to the others in the room. "Although you know me, I find myself at a disadvantage.. I know your name but I am afraid I don't know anything else about you..." The shifter will say looking the man up and down examining every inch of him and taking in every detail.

The figure looks closely at Grin and says "you may call me Renwick, that's what the others do!"As Grin examines the figure he realises that he appears very old, like really, really old. Renwick then goes onto say "hmmm don't know much about me, well that's no surprise, most people nowadays don't know much about me I'm told, assuming they even remember me!"
"Aaahhh Renwick... Renwick.... Now I remember hearing about you." The shifter will say after his examination of the man. "You are looking very good for an arch-lich, you will have to fill me in on your secret sometime" he would say with a toothy grin.
As Grin starts to say what he knows of Renwick, he is partly interrupted by some of the loudest snoring he would have thought possible. When he finishes his statement, if he decides to turn and look at the couch (Tibold too), they will see Gotten out cold and sleeping on the couch with his pipe sitting perfectly between his lips, not falling out even when he let's rip another cacaphonic snore.

Yup.

"Ok, when we have everything, let's go. folllow me, I will lead the way.."
Gotrek leads the group to Renwick's Laboratory. When they get to the crypt door, Gotrek speaks the pass phrase.
Amphail, Renwick and Saramular lie here. If you not be a friend to one or all, then abandon all hope!
(OOC: There is no phrase to get into the Crypt. The phrase is used to get from the Garden into the Monastery!). You come up the stairs to the landing where there is the door to the Garden (where the phrase is required) and the steps continue up to Renwick's laboratory. Now where?

Tibold frowns slightly at the mention of an "Ostara," but does not comment.
And that's all I have to say about that.
