Ratuk the Thinker is an Orc mage who isolated himself to conduct research. Ratuk teaches advanced teleportation techniques, which are quite valuable to players.

Ratuk spends his time researching Teleportation techniques, but his isolation has left him unable to maintain proper supplies. Ratuk claims he is capable of killing an opponent using teleportation. Recently, Ratuk has reached out to Landri the Cold for help to create a wormhole into another plane of existence.

Response to player

“

What's this? Landri takes the letter and reads it with incredible speed.
Hm. A valid hypothesis, though I do not think it will work. Tell the author that she should substitute other elemental energy foci in place of ice foci. I believe that all the elemental planes are very close together, and using other energy types will open micro-portals to those planes, which may coalesce into a full portal more easily. And tell her good luck; she will need it.

I do not wish to fight. I am not interested in trade. Please let me be.

What are you doing out here?

Research. It is an orc tradition that mages wander off on their own to do research. It keeps the idiots out of the way. Well, most of them. Ratuk glares.

But I like research too! I could help you.

Hm, do you know your way around a teleportation stone? I suppose I could tolerate your presence.

That's the spirit!

I have been experimenting for a long time, and have many new and interesting teleportation techniques. But I am running out of supplies for more research. Maybe you could do me a few favors in exchange for a few of my lesser secrets.

Yeah, maybe later. Bye!
