having been left with nothing and spending the last few months in the monastery with these "monks" or moreso a house of readers, Tobias happened upon their library one day. As ever, Tobias was bored; he'd been taught to read common byt hose who raised him, so he found an intriguing book on Alchemy and was instantly enthralled.
As the months passed by he read every tome on the subject he could. "With this i could be reborn and shed this wretched and fraile shell," he thought to himself one evening before falling into his normal slumber.
The next Tobias decided to test out his readings and conduct some form of experiment. He gathered what beakers, cauldrons, and other such items he would need along with his shortsword, "årkendräpa," an item he had acuired from a band of goblins at war with the orcs. It had many an Orc's blood on it and the blade was permanently stained with it.
After a few succesful transmutations of pigeons into cocatrices, which were quickly dispatched, he felt more comfortable with his skills and began devising a way to restore himself to his former glory. the strong. the powerful. the hearty warr he had once been.
Tobias would rather be an Orc than an Elf...............
The days pass and the abbots and monks become weary of Tobias.... for he hasnt left his chambers in nearly 2 weeks. They have heard strange noises.... felt an unsettling aire when passing his door.... he hasnt eaten (that anyone knows of) in the same timespan.
..............some would call tobias successful
some would not call him so.............
