Game Master In our last episode, the party discovered a mysterious man with his eyes removed. It turns out he was imprisoned in some sort of suspended animation. So far you've interacted with him and made some discoveries.

Background

• He goes by the name   Cargger.
• He doesn't speak your languages-- he speaks a very old language with a strange accent/dialect. You tried a lot of languages and some of the older languages (especially Dwarven) got some glimmer of recognition. But his normal speech is pretty impenetrable for you guys, and the feeling is mutual.
• Book mindlinked with him after calming him down.
• He was an acolyte for the wizard (likely the ghost you saw), but was caught stealing magical items from the wizard (apparently eons ago).
• He was imprisoned and (you assume) had his eyes forcefully removed.
• Some items he stole sounded like the shiny items you found in the dorm room.
• You guys asked about the big force field on the tower, and he was surprised and said the Wizard must have finished it
• You explained to him about the "dorm room" dead bodies, sealed inside.
• He clarified that the dorm room was usually home to the wizard's faithful acolytes, and the control freak wizard didn't trust them so he always locked them up every night and let them out when he was awake.
• If they were dead inside the dorm room, that can only mean the wizard never came back to let them out.
• He clarified that the wizard would usually disable the traps for his acolytes to come to the new tower, or teleport his acolytes around as needed.
• Cargger said he's pretty good at bypassing locks and is willing to help you guys, he'd rather not be abandoned.
• He is very sad to hear that his girl, Alessa, is long dead.
• As far as you can tell, he didn't know anything about the Sword of Humility.

As the smokey air clears, you all sit down to rest for the evening and prepare for the next day. You take this opportunity to talk to Cargger through mindlinks that Book shares. He serves as translator because you're unable to talk to Cargger directly yourself.

Cargger

I never slept, never had a break. After they caught me, they tortured me, placed me in suspended animation, took me out and tortured me some more. For them I think 3 months passed, but for me it has been an excruciating nonstop hell. Whenever I passed out from agony, they would wait for the first glimmer of consciousness and toss me in my cell and seemingly rip me out again immediately... You... you, six? You broke the chain. But you inadvertantly brought the worst torture of all... the news that my world, love, and family are all gone. My sanity.. my sight... my family. All gone. I almost thought you were an illusion to torture me further. But I sense no lies... and my captors were really bad at lying. The only solace I have is the delicious realization that my torturers are long, long dead, while I live on to help you guys loot their graves. (put RP above this line)
