Fingers doing calculations in the air Vorthos' attention whips to Lyrian as he describes the bidders at the auction. His fingers pause in front of the blindfolded man before he speaks... "If this man knows not of who he sold it our best leads are those with interest in Osirian Artifacts, Namely the ones encountered at the Auction. I think an inquiry of either covert of overt actions would yield results
Local superstition, HA! To be fearful of knowledge how does, i cant even comprehend this man. He must be simple or "touched". Scowling, Vorthos crosses his arms and takes in a mighty breath to fuel the history lesson about to come......... As he recites a basic encyclopedia of knowledge with enough obscure facts to obfuscate the topic (Including daily rituals, sermons, common meals, Jaywalking Penalties, from the time of the Pharoahs of Ascension.) His eyes light up when he speaks of the Pharoah of Numbers, and he pauses for a moment head tilting slightly as he peers intently at Lyrian before finishing his diatribe. "Lyrian i must insist on inspecting those documents at a later date." he adds finally, running out of air from his single breath.
If the documents are real.:
As his brow sinks like a ship to rest just above his eyes, Vorthos turns to Lyrian and whispers starting in Draconic, then Orcish, Followed by Celestial, and finally Abyssal.
" These items seem authentic to me, there are no pause strokes, by that i mean they look up to view the original n place their brush slightly further than previous, the bristles used seem correct for the period i can't without a closer look guarantee but these seem genuine, anything with no bidders a solid bid of eleven on these seems wise it's a paltry sum n if im correct could be sold for profit" If the documents are fake.: As his brow sinks like a ship to rest just above his eyes, Vorthos turns to Lyrian and whispers starting in Draconic, then Orcish, Followed by Celestial, and finally Abyssal.
" These items indeed do seem faked to me, there are pause strokes, by that i mean they look up to view the original n place their brush slightly further than previous, the bristles used seem incorrect for the period i can't without a closer look guarantee but these seem forged. Any ways with no bidders a solid bid of eleven on these seems wise, it makes the bid obvious and it's a paltry sum"
Sighing and pulling an Iron Vial from his bandolier he quaffs it in record time. Followed quickly by a second he swishes in his mouth and spits back into the vial. (Alchemical Allocation and Elixer of Vision +5 Perception for six hours.) Vorthos will offer both to Abram or Lyrian if one of them wants but only one sorry this will leave him with three second level slots.
Pondering to himsellf the myriad of experiments and history lessons to be gained from acquiring these items, Vorthos smiles. "I'm so glad this auction has brought other enlightened and knowledged minds" He quips with a nod to the woman Lyrian is interacting with."The impressive techniques of the Ancient Osirioni must be shared and preserved with all enlightened minds. To lock it hidden away , or worse used as a mere bauble in someone's palace tis a crime!" With that he beams at his companions and nudges his head to encourage Lyrian's next bid.
"Hrmm..." Vorthos wonders..... "if untarnished and never cleaned this might be possible if they are pure gold and completely non alloyed ......and if they are genuine. That's too many "Ifs" for my liking." After ruminating on the properties of gold for a few seconds he seems to finally notice Lyrian's bid.
All the while another simultaneous thought runs through his head. I wonder which of these patrons is the Mithril Scarab, or if the Scarab is outside the auction eavesdropping. Guess the best decision is to make a few bids in the correct increments and watch everyone's reactions......
Vorthos not noticing the sharp tone turns to Lyrian saying "Thank you but Vorthos will do " taking a moment to suck in a breath he obliviously pulls out the scribbled note from The Mithril Scarab. "I have deduced the bidding ..." He states as he points to the sentence instructing him where and when. "Should be on items garaunteed a high price. A bid of eleven on several, The Scarab shall see and know these bids as the instructed amount. With no possible chance of passing as confirmation. I do not wish to foolishly waste coin on things i have no wish to carry with a successful bid."
Pulling himself up from a "quiet" corner of the bar where he could observe all the patrons and take notes. Vorthos sighs and scribbles last minute notes comparing the three sitting at the table.Before shuffling them into a tidy stack. Walking up to them looking at each directly for an appraising moment then flicking pages and gaze to the next he plops down. " Was that really quite necessary?"He states while preening his robes for dust.
"I am Vorthos." he simply states.
Before he carefully pulls out his Society token from one of his numerous pouches. Places it on the table, turns to the Paladin and states "I have never had the chance to study a devotee of Pharasma let alone a warrior in a their god's name you shall be interesting. I look forward to expanding my syllabus on the peoples of the Society. You shall make a fine paragraph." Looking at the obvious Osirion he notices the lack of drink before him. Giving that a questioning pause. He appraises the gigantic man before writing one sentence on the sheet of papers before him. Stand behind the walking mountain if battles ensues.
Actually Vorthos is pretty heavy on buffing/utility/battlefield control and decent on healing
And personality wise.. He's a bit independent but realizes he just doesnt have enough resources/strength to solo the place so he'll follow along (i think he might also be the squishiest) just use logic to deal with Vorthos if it makes sense he'll agree ill try not to over do it! and sef Woohoo Vorthos is Osirion all the way!
i finalized and expanded Vorthos's background and skills a bit had been meaning to fully do his backstory except for equipment i feel he's pretty much done now (hope he's a bit improved now) i will say this if you're looking at party composition vorthos is a skill monkey/trapper/buffer/healer not much of a dpr guy |
