You will find Timekeeper Raerethrew, a peculiar fellow, wandering around southwest Crossing. He will exchange your quest medals for a prize: a self-casting magical device (an electrum kathla of eight incongruous medals depicting adventures of yore) with the new Temporal Eddy spell. You may have glimpsed Temporal Eddy on the recent invasion creatures.
Appearance
You see Timekeeper Raerethrew, an Elothean.
Raerethrew has tilted almond-shaped cat-slitted amber eyes. His light brown hair is shoulder length and curly, and is worn tied back in a thin tail braided with violets and geshiloira flowers. He has copper skin and a plump build.
He appears to be a child.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a cocobolo folding chair in his left hand.
He is wearing a thick crystal monocle, a pale yellow brocade silk kimono embroidered with colorful birds-of-paradise, a traveler's rucksack, and some soft doeskin sandals.
Conversation Topics
[You can ask him about Raerethrew, Veralos, Feral Energy, Temporal Eddy, or medals.]
Raerethrew
Raerethrew's large Elothean eyes grow wider still. "I am three-hundred-something years old, did you know that, huh?" he abruptly wails, pawing at his cheeks. "Wrong wrong wrong, so wrong!"
Veralos
Raerethrew cracks a lopsided smile. "That clever, clever lunatic. He's killed us all, though we don't even know it yet. Yes, V is my favorite person."
Feral Energy
"Do you appreciate hyperquadratic detonations?" Raerethrew whispers aloud. "The Bone Elves sure do. Enough said. Wait, what?! Nononono, shut up."
Temporal Eddy
Raerethrew brightens up as he lectures, "Temporal Eddy is among the most basic temporal spells, insofar as "basic" and "temporal magic" go together. It is not true time travel, but instead a distortion effect that partially pushes the magician outside time. In practice, it gives the magician a chance to avoid the vast majority of damage from any given attack directed at them."
Medals
Raerethrew gushes, "I adore those treeshrews with all my heart, you know, the green and orange striped ones? With the tails? But then again, who doesn't! What I really really mean is, take this envelope and fill it with EIGHT different time-lost medals, then give it to me. I will NOT give your medals back."
Peering at your face skeptically, he adds, "Not seven, not nine. And not twenty-eight. Eight point zero, you understand?"
(Raerethrew gives you a petite envelope inked with a flowery amaranth "R".)
> give Raerethrew
Raerethrew accepts the bulging envelope and peers into it. Dipping a finger inside, he begins to stir as a crackling, chaotic energy emanates from him. With a satisfied huff, he pulls out an electrum kathla of eight incongruous medals depicting adventures of yore, and hands it to you. "There we go. Always wanted an exploding magical device, haven't you?" he says with a boyish grin. "Well, be careful, and remember that that thing likes you and you alone!"
Sometimes bad things happen when you cast Sorcery
Raerethrew gestures.
Geysers of blue-black fire suddenly erupt from Timekeeper Raerethrew's body, consuming him in a horrific display of unbridled sorcery.
Raerethrew falls to the ground and lies still.
> look Raerethrew
There isn't much left of Raerethrew's horrendously burnt corpse.
> loot Raerethrew goods
The Timekeeper Raerethrew has already been searched for that!
