As you arrive at the Town Gates in Teras Isle, You notice a man hard at work healing the wounded. As you aproach him, he glances you over quickly to see if you need any healing. After seeing that you don't he moves his attention to a beautiful sorcress who appears to be asking him to tend to her wounds. He lets a pleasant smile come to lips and nods. After a few seconds go by you notice the Sorcress's wounds slowly disolve from her body and slowly apear on his own. "There you go beauty, just like new" You hear him tell her as he smiles. She presses a blue diamond into his hand and smooches him. As she prepares to go back to hunting, she says, "Thank you Nomadhealer".
"You do be Velkome beauty!" replies with a disarming grin and smooches her.
You gaze in awe as the large bleeders which he took from the Sorcress suddenly stop bleeding even though they are still open. You hear him a few arcane words in a mystic tongue. He suddenly moves his arms and says the last arcane word. You gawk as you see one of the bleeders become smaller. As he repeats the process a few times, you are sure you heard at least one difference in each chant. In a few minnutes all of the wounds he had are all scars.
You walk up to him and ask, "Nomadhealer?"
"Yes?" he replies.
"Could we go somewhere quiet where I can interview you?"
"Ah Sure! but please call me Nomad"
Nomadhealer tries several times to get up without sucess and grumbles. He asks you if you could help him to his feet. You grasps his forearms and pull him to his feet. He motions for you follow him.
A few minnutes you arrive at a bar. Nomadhealer leads you to a secluded table. A minnute or two pass before a beautiful serving wench comes over and ask if you want anything. You tell her your prefered drink and she leaves without asking Nomadhealer if he wanted a drink. Moments later, The serving wench reteurns with two drinks. She hands your drink to you and sets down a large frosted pewter mug of dark foamy beer down in front of Nomadhealer.
"Thanks beauty, You always know how to treat me right!" he tells the barmaid as he smooches her. He pays for both drinks and and gently presses a opaline moonstone into her hand. You watch as she smooches Nomadhealer full on the lips and winks at him as she slips the moonstone into her cleavage.
After you both take a few sips from your drinks, you ask him if he would tell you his life story. He takes a long pull from his beer and slowly swallows it and begins.
"Elright, before I became a empath I was at home taking care of my younger brothers. One day I recieved a message by runner saying that my older brother Nomadicman had gotten in trouble in Wheinmer's landing for using profane langauge and would be in jail for two weeks. I knew that I had to go into town to earn some money before the food ran out. I put a younger brother in charge (Greywolven) of the younger brothers and left for Wheimer's Landing."
He takes another long pull from his beer. After slowly swallowing it, he resumes.
"When I got there, I saw a whole mass of people. People of different races and professions. I spent a few days observing some of the practioners of each profession. After a week observing people, I decided that I would become a empath. I had decided to become a empath so I could heal people and earn the respect of others. I entered the Job hall and signed up for the Empath's training school."
"The first two weeks as a empath was extremly frustrating, I kept overhealing and dying. I did get the hang of it. Due to the inflation of empaths in the lands I was forced to be quick. After a few years several other empaths began telling me that my healing style was not desired. So I observed these other empaths and I adjusted acordinly Thus making more friends among empaths and others alike."
Nomadhealer takes a break and raises the mug to his lips and realizes with a groan that its empty. As if she read his thoughts, The serving wench shows up with a fresh frosted mug of dark foamy beer. He smooches her and presses a red starstone into her hand along with the proper amount of silvers for the fresh beer. After the serving wench leaves, he resumes.
"I healed at the North Gate in Wheinmer's Landing till I reached 20 trainings. I then took all my silvers out of the bank in the form of a banknote and paid 50,000 coins for a ticket to Teras Isle. I climbed abord the GlasenStar."
"After a few hours at sea the Glasen Star thudded against the Dock of Teras isle. My my look at the time. I'll pay for your room for the night. We'll pick up in the morning." He hands you a few thousand silver coins which you quickly pocket he wishes you a good night sleep and leaves.
After the next morning arrives and you have gotten yourself out of bed and refreshed, you make your way back to the bar. To your suprise, Nomadhealer is already there eating a hearty breakfast. You gawk as you see that his large plate is heavily heaped apon. The large plate contians four large biscuts smothered in thick white country style gravy. You see another large plate piled apon with hash browns, scrambled eggs, six large sausages, and ten thick strips of bacon. Nomadhealer looks up and sees the expression on your face and says,
"I'm a empath, healing other folks realy drains a empath's energy. All this food will be gone and I will not have gained weight since the food will be turned into engery for healing almost instantly which is why I am so darn skinny."
The serving wench comes over and asks you if you would like to have any breakfast. You tell her what you would like and she goes to the kitchen to tell the cook. A few minnutes the wench is back with your order which she sets down in front of you.
Later, you are barely halfway through your food and you glances over at Nomadhealer and realize with a shock, that he has already finished all his food. He grins a sheepish grin. A few seconds later the wench arrives with a large cold pewter pitcher filled to the rim with extra pulp orange juice and a large frosted pewter mug which she sets down infront of Nomadhealer. Nomadhealer fills his frosted Mug and begins,
"I found my way to the Town Gates of Kharam-Dzu and began to heal. I had disagrements with several other empaths and adapted. Soon I became one of the respected healers on the island. Before I knew it, I was almost 25 trainings and I had three millon coins in my account. Five trainings later I am still healing at the gate and having a good time."
"Recently, I met a beautiful empath named Solice, She has long light brown hair, lilly white skin and green eyes. She and I have been a item for the last few months"
