Druid Gurrald

Gurrald is a Bear, originally a Nord druid and devotee of Hircine. His devotion to life as a bear, living in the wilds and hunting in nature led him into dealing with the Hagraven Esmerelda, hoping to find a way to extend his time spent in bear form. This the Hagraven granted him by cursing him to remain permenantly as a bear for the rest of his days. A curse the druid would come to sorely regret as he began to miss life among other people. He found a new life among people when he was brought down and captured by Captain Hargar Blackblood, who quickly realising the bears unusual intelligence first intended to sell him to the circus, however the two soon formed a bond as the Captain began to understand the true nature of his captive. Eventually buying Gurrald his very own parrot, Clever-Girl, as over the years Gurrald began to relearn how to walk and live as man despite his new furry exterior. Even eventually learning how to cast his druid spells once more and using Clever-Girl to communicate with the rest of the crew.   Quotes (Clever-Girl):
"Squawk! Let's have a look at you! Go on! On the bed! Squawk! What's the problem?! Witbane?! Rattles!? Squawk!"
"Squawk! Let's get that looked at! Another bar fight!? Squawk! Mind how you go. Mind how you go. Squawk! Give Clever-Girl a treat!"
"Squawk! Clever-Girl is a pretty bird. Squawk! No ask him the problem! (roar) Squawk! No you stop shouting! Squawk!"
"Squawk! Don't mind the teeth. Don't mind the teeth. Just tell Clever-Girl! Squawk! No tell the bear! Squawk!"
"Squawk! Raven bad! Raven bad! Squawk! Clever-Girl better. Clever-Girl is a pretty parrot. Pretty parrot. Squawk!"   Quotes (Speak with Animals):
"Oh thank the gods, someone who understands me at last! Do you know how long its been? Years! Decades! And the only one I can actually talk to is the godforsaken parrot."
"Just listen. Whatever you do. Don't enter into any deals with the Hagraven. Not unless you want end up in as sorry a state as me! I've been trying to warn people but the best I get out of the parrot is, raven bad!"
He wears custom iron halfplate, a pirates hat and boots, and is equipped with an scimitar. He carries a healer's kit, and a selection of uncommon loot and gold.
