Portrait

Description
Gromsch is an rather short white haired half-orc whose face is rutted by age. He wears long robes which are protected from the nasty substances of his trade by an leather apron. On his back he has a bulky backpack on wich all kinds of strange devices are strapped.

Background
GGromsch was born as an child of the Dead Eye Clan in the Kodar Mountains. His father was the shaman of his village and his mother was a human slave.
Having a natural talent for mixing potions he was taken by his father as apprentice and after death of his father he became the shamen of his village.
One day, his chieftain ordered Gromsch to brew a potion to make him more impressive at a thing with the chieftain of the neighbor village.
Gromsch ordered his apprentice Drulsk to gather several herbs and mixed the potion. To his misfortune, the apprentice plotted to take his position as shaman and replaced a herb with another to change the effect of the potion.
When the thing came, the chieftain drank the potion and dwindled to the size of an goblin.
Gromsch and his apprentice had to flee and was chased by several orks. His flight led them to the south to Varisia, where they knew that his pursuers wouldn't be welcome. After months of hiding and running, they lastly arrived in Kaer Maga. Thinking that they had shaken off his chasers, Gromsch settled then in Kaer Maga and founded there an alchemy shop, finishing the education of his apprentice. One year later, Drulsk left Gromsch and moved on to stand on his own feet.
2 years later, a letter from Druslk arrived. In it Gromsch read that Drulsk had found an employment as an assistant of a Cyphermage scholar for some time and that they were in a village named Doyle's Run unraveling a relucant mystery. Furthermore Drulsk wrote that they could use Gromsch's help determining what substance was used to poison the well of the village.
Gromsch packed his bags and took the road to Doyle's Run, leaving his shop in the hands of his new apprentice Tazrak.
