Grandmother Mellita, I think you have the team to beat. How did such an eclectic group come to find one another?
Acantheus remains mute on the topic of a name, but looks with attention to hear Terpismem's reply.
"We had best stop drinking. Do we function as a team sponsored by you, or do we compete individually in different events?"
Acantheus has remained quiet, but finds that he must now speak. ”I have only recently arrived in Bailax. Iannos and his ship stopped at the small island of my residence to refill their water barrels and he was kind enough to give me passage. I frankly do not know much of my self. You see I was apparently killed before my time, in a former life so to speak, and I awoke in the small temple to Pharasma on the island, much as you see me now, albeit a bit younger. I know I have some purpose in life that was left undone, but what it is I do not know. It was made clear to me that Moira and I needed to leave the island shortly before the Sophis appeared. Perhaps these games will be my first steps on the path I’m meant to take, although I am no athlete.”
Acantheus is in roughspun garments, probably a bit more crude than the rest of you (with maybe the exception of Iannos), and the most distinctive thing about him is his blue-shaded skin. After sharing accommodations with him for a week, you would not be surprised by the owl named Moira that is perched on the back of his chair. At Terpsime’s mention of a funeral, you can see him scan the area, as if looking for something, which interrupts his otherwise very healthy appetite. ”I have never had food this good before. My thanks, Terpsime, for the meal and the roof. My name is Acantheus. These are the first real words he has uttered this dinner, being somewhat reserved and happy to have Iannos have a stage. Is this where I find my path and purpose? At a break in conversation, after a hoot from Moira, he ventures: Terpsime, is there some way to repay your kindness?
Acantheus can be nervous at parties, as he's not sure who is an apparition or not.
