Background

Early Life

Teenager Years

During Beetle's earliest travels he arrived on the island of Grimsa where he was asked to treat the infection of Chief Yarik Dragedræber's eldest child, Olaf Dragedræber. While curing him of his infection the herbs he used caused a nasty rash to appear on his mouth and other parts of his body causing the tribe to believe Beetle had tricked them and poisoned Olaf resulting in them chasing him off the island. However, Olaf's rashes passed over time and he returned to full health.
 

Adult Life

Beetle met many people on his travels, but the one who stuck around was a women named Liv Holgata. Together the two traveled the islands together never staying for long.
  During a storm the boat that Beetle and Liv had been sailing was destroyed resulting in the pair washing up on the shores of Grimsa. While the two tried to gather their bearings they where both kidnapped by the Romans.

Session 9: Prophetic Dreams

-Liv's potions are dangerous for her to take -L makes Loki a new leg -We are being attacked in the night? no i think its dreams   LIV'S DREAM -Liv is seeing roman ships leaving an island on fire. Shes in the ocean. The island is unremarkable. She hears a screeching whistle mutter in her mind. Cloaked figure at the edge of the island. LOTS of cloaks. The muttering is in a language she doesnt know. It doesnt sound human. It sounds like squawks whistles and growls. She feels a presence from the guy in front of her. In her head she can make out one word. "Rolo" She starts getting dragged down into the water. She sees the spooky red eyes deep below the ocean. Something looking. Some dark god. Unnatural. Monsters in this underwater graveyard. Creature with a shield on top of its head with 3 spears sticking out of its face. Dragon sized creatures. -Then she wakes up in her bed inside the village.   BEETLE'S DREAM -Beetle hears a noise in their head as a heat wraps around them. Banging drums. Drum music. Crying chant of people. Figures around. The ground is rotting around beetle. There is a gash in his hand and the blood drips to the earth. everyone is missing. I run into the cave to escape the figures. The earth shakes as a vacuum is around me as i go deeper in. White bird flies straight past me. Wakes up.   L'S DREAM -Wakes up in comfy bed. The village at the base of the mountain is ablaze. L starts running to the village. Horror in the village. Lots of dead people. A metal leg under a building with a tiny dragon arm reaching out besides it. Scales scattered around and a bunch of romans. Sylpher is laying impaled on spears. Bodies of all his friends(note: spinch was listed first). Romans are marching in unison through the village. Aruleus is there and chokes L. Calls him a pig. Tells him that he fails everything he does. That he cant do anything by himself. Cant save his parents. his village. his legacy. cant even escape the coliseum without help. Not worth a single drachma. L goes limp. Believing what he says to be true. Tentacles erupt from the ground as the island breaks like a shell. Beast cries out " I COME TO YOU, MY KING" as the island shatters. The scars on his face light up in pain. He wakes up. Two human eyes stare at him and then vanishes. He goes to look for beetle. There is a second set of footprints heading to where beetle went.   SIGEWULF'S DREAM -He doesnt feel right. His clothes feel baggy. The armor isnt leather but its made of strange band like things. He marches in a place hes never seen before. Buildings made out of stone with red runes. A strange yellow thing in the sky that hes never seen before. Its hot and it hurts when you look at it. (its not the sun) Everything goes from grey to blue. Everyone sounds like how they are meant to, but it feels off for some reason. He is walking with other men dressed just like him. They walk to a large building made of white stone. A man he has never seen before wearing strange clothes is standing there. Layers of folded cloth with a big gash of purple across them. A golden crown? made to look like leaves. "we have done what no man before has done. not since julius ceaser. We have conquered the world. Thanks to the tyrant of the dragons. We have become glorious. We saw. We came. We conquered." -Wakes up in his freezing cold home.   L and Beetle find a cave with traps in it. Leading up to the cave we find.
