Subj: The Grumpiest of Ink
The dwarf empath tattoo’s chest rises and falls rhythmically in his sleep.

>glance tattoo
You glance at your dwarf empath tattoo.

>poke tattoo
You give the sleeping tattoo a sharp jab and he flails wildly, clutching at his cap as he scrambles back to his feet.

>look tattoo
The dwarf shifts uncomfortably and then furrows his bushy brows, folding his arms almost belligerently as he stares back at you.

>peer tattoo
You squint critically down at the dwarf empath tattoo.
The dwarf empath tattoo obligingly holds out his haversack for you to peer within.
You see that his haversack is empty.

>poke tattoo
You reach under your battered Pip-Boy 3000 and give the dwarf empath tattoo a sharp poke! The dwarf empath tattoo grouchily emerges and shuffles off, coming to rest on your neck.

>clean tattoo
The dwarf obligingly turns over his haversack and gives it a vigorous shake, but only a few bits of lint fall out. He tucks it back against himself and smirks at you.

>tap tattoo
You tap the dwarven empath tattoo and the dwarf stills, becoming simply an art rendering upon your skin.

I didn’t see any “give tattoo”, but that’s my guess, too. 🙂

Perhaps it can go foraging in your beard to recover any crumbs or ale drops for later?

Subj: Re: The Grumpiest of Ink
You seriously think there’s going to be any ale drops left unaccounted for and ungathered? Seriously?

You just don’t know dwarves at all, do you?

Not necessarily unaccounted for, just being saved for later. This way, it saves them a step from finding the leftovers themselves!

Some more teasers…

!>heal
You have a fractured and bleeding right arm.

!>whine
How can they be so mean to you?!

As the dwarven empath tattoo gestures, he becomes blurred, and then vanishes! You then feel the faint tingle of some ephlox moss being applied to your right arm.
You feel better.

Your dwarven empath tattoo emerges from beneath your bracelet and sidles back off to your neck.

The dwarven empath tattoo glances at your lingering wound and rummages about in his haversack before stopping and shaking his head ruefully.

>peer tattoo
You squint critically down at the dwarven empath tattoo.
The dwarven empath tattoo obligingly holds out his haversack for you to peer within.
You see a few doses of ephlox moss.

>heal
You have some minor cuts and bruises on your right arm.
You have a mangled right arm.

The dwarven empath tattoo releases a well fermented belch, followed by a sigh of satisfaction.

Question regarding this that I hope can be answered prior to the auction.

Is this going to be a wearable/removeable item that turns into a tattoo sort of like the shade-newts? Or is this something where the winner gets tattooed with it as soon as they win?

Just so that, if it’s the latter, we are sure to bring the character we want this item to be on in case we decide to bid on it. Because it’d be useless on, say, an Empath.

What if we’ve only seen it use herbs, so far?

What if it can invoke spells from scrolls in its knapsack, too?

(Still, it’s a good question. 🙂

It will be a tattoo, and not removable like skinks.

>>Does this have to be a dwarf?

Yep. A strong manly he-dwarf. With a beard, of course.

So, the tattoo has a ” ” beard ” “, I’m given to understand. <cough>

You have stumbled across the ancient secret of the dwarves. There really is no difference. Those mushrooms you see in Zul Logoth are actually young dwarves, having gone to the stage after splitting off from their parentbeard.
