You see Shadowmancer Stolas Ari'uhn, Legendary Moon Mage of the Progeny, an Elothean.
You cannot make out his features with the clothing he is wearing.
He appears to be dead! Other than that...
He has cuts and bruises about the neck, an ugly stump for a right arm, minor swelling and bruising around the left arm compounded by deep cuts across the left arm, deep slashes across the right leg, a broken left leg with gaping holes, an ugly stump for a right hand, an ugly stump for a left hand, deep slashes across the chest area, a completely destroyed abdomen with nearly all flesh and bone torn away revealing a gaping hole, a bruised and swollen right eye.
He is bleeding with slight bruising in the right arm, slightly from the chest, slightly from the right arm, slightly from the left arm, with slight bruising in the abdomen, with slight bruising in the left hand, slightly from the right leg, badly from the left hand and slightly from the left leg.
He is wearing a skull-beaded hooded nightsilk cloak stitched with a scarlet bat-winged skull, a polished black stone ring engraved with a worn crest, a chain balaclava, a gargoyle-hide shield, a lumpy bundle, a braided spidersilk satchel, an elegant spidersilk traveler's backpack, a shadowy black mage's robe shot through with silver and red threads, some mail gloves and a padded leather archaeologist's toolbag.
Acerbity says, "You could say that."
Acerbity grins at you.
You continue to instruct your students on evasion.
Acerbity listens, enraptured and enthralled by your teachings.
J> whisper ace We can leave now!
You whisper to Acerbity.
Empath Acerbity's group just went southwest.
