Chuluu

**Chuluu** **Untorou** is an NPC on *Another Bad Side Quest*. He is a Duergar, described as a bald, dark skinned dwarf man, who wears traditional monastic robes. He is the current master of the *Shadow Monastery* in *Quarry Hold*.

**Ep. 6 - A Few Things for the Road**

Chuluu was first mention by name by Bolton in *The Burrow*, when he suggested he would be someone that Yashani should meet. On hearing that Ob gave her the Shadow Monk's Stone to return to him, as well as letting Yashani know, since she asked about the Gods of old, that Chuluu would have information for him on that.

**Ep. 7 - Quarry Hold**

Chuluu was mentioned when the spoke to Kilick of *Church of Demigods*, who gave directions where to find him at the *Shadow Monastery*.

After a few other tasks were done, Yashani and Seren soon made their way and arrived at his monastery. Once inside the 2 greeted Chuluu, where he demonstrated his ability to teleport through shadow in the blink of an eye, and returned the *Shadow Monk's Stone* that she received from Ob. Chuluu recognized her as a disciple of Sanguis, saying he has not seen another in over 120 years, and handed her *The Book of Sanguis,* something that the last one to come through *Quarry Hold* had left with him. Chuluu demonstrated a technique involving ki which unlocked the first of 5 chains binding the book and sections within it, before encouraging her to find more masters to help her unlock the rest. He also revealed that the disciple he mentioned had came, trained to learn shadow ki, left the book there and went on, and that their name was Poackel, which Yashani seemed to remember.

He also gave information to Seren about his sister Leku, having been directed from the *Hall of Emeralds*, notably that Leku had trained at the monastery for several years, attempting to learn how to access the Shadow Plane on her search for something, which while he was unsure what, noted that she had searched high and low, in good places and not, and thought the only place left to look would be the 'bad place'. He also noted that while he didn't know if she was successful, mentioned that she spoke to some of the miners for help getting and suggested speaking with Cobbeel, who ran the *Minor's Guild*, and seeing the reaction Seren had sincerely apologized hoping he hadn't caused him distress.

When Seren had left, on being asked of ways out of the dark, suggested to Yashani to also speak to Cobbeel in the Miner's Guild as they knew the tunnels.

**Ep. 9 - Deliberations**

Chuluu was seen when Yashani, with RX behind, entered the *Shadow Monastery.* Yashani asked questions about Poackel, the former owner of *The Book of Sanguis*, who mentioned that he trained with different masters to open the book, but had it closed back up before leaving it with him. On conversation with the surface he mentioned he had been once, but found it too bright and hadn't been again. He also brought up the Spider Dragon, and how it had caused trouble and blocked one of the known way outs, and also gave information on how not a lot had been done from the problem, with exception of a few who formed small groups and hadn't returned. On Yashani's mention of having a skilled group with more numbers, he did note that bringing an end to it would help the people and that he could show the way out if they could, before Yashani and RX thanked him and left.

**Ep. 11 - Order of Ruin**

The party go to Chuluu after Esmeria's attack on Quincy, Killian and Tabernacle, teleported by Masq, and asked him for help identifying the people following the party. Chuluu works through the shadows, noting that the Esmeria and the others were in *The Underdark,* but was unsure exactly where. When asked to check on Kilick, Chuluu went, and returned with the news Kilick has been murdered in the church. Chuluu was the one who alerted the party to the presence of the book from the Varimathas, a book that could summon demons and devils, and he asked that they find the book. After Chuluu went to retrieve their new *Bag of Holding* from Councilman Artagus Malakami at the *Hall of Emeralds*, Chuluu then escorted the group to the *Church of Demigods* with them, and when Ilvwinter appeared, was instrumental in giving the party the opportunity to escape the church when it turns into a fight.

**Ep. 12 - Forewarned & Forgotten**

After explaining recent events to Masq, the party asked to know if Chuluu was alive, and Masq messaged him, getting a positive response back before Chuluu appeared in Masq's shop, badly injured, but survived his encounter with Ilvwinter. He noted that Ilvwinter was more then he could handle, and that he had escaped with a power Chuluu recognized by a description from someone else as being of the Nine Hells. Chuluu also gave the party important information about Esmeria, her full name being Esmeria Swornguard, that she was the granddaughter of Kilick, how she used to be part of the Holy Collective and the 11 Inquisitors, and often visited Kilick, but had not come in a long time before returning about five years ago. Chuluu at some point left the room, and near the leaving time for the party reappeared, told them how there was no sign of the group, as well as showed the group half of the book Esmeria and her group tried to find, and gave it to them to take out of the city.

Along with Masq, Chuluu told the party that with the two of them and their combined influence, they would do what they could for them, but that they would need to return back eventually, and asked them to find Esmeria and why she killed his friend Kilick. Chuluu told them find out what they were doing, to find and save Killian's family at least and to Seren to find his sister, then told Yashani that she should visit Oskit in *Vupjinas* to continue her training. He and Masq afterwards worked together, using the shadows, and a *Teleport* spell to fast travel the party to the surface when it was deemed too unsafe for them to remain in *The Underdark*. After getting them a little closer, the party thanked him as they left.

**The Ballad of Bo & Gal (Part 2)**

Chuluu was mentioned by Poackel when he told his story to Bo and Galatea and that he left his book that had given unique powers with him. He was mentioned by name when Poackel said he would see him when he needed to see the book and if it was with him still.

**Ep. 39 - Strands of Fate**

Chuluu was mentioned by Yashani when she explained to Brock how he was the one who helped open the first section of *The Book of Sanguis.* He was mentioned by Yashani again when she met the Skein Witch, explaining he was the one she got the book from, and the witch, who was aware of him referred to him by his full name, "Chuluu Untorou".

**Ep. 45 - House of Ash and Ruin**

Chuluu was mentioned briefly when Yashani reminded Seren of *The Book of Sanguis* she received from him.

**Ep. 52 - Behind the Waterfall**

Chuluu was mentioned briefly when Yashani told her monastery master Chon about how she met him and received *The Book of Sanguis* from him and Chon noted that he, like all the shadow monks, were nearly as mythological as they were.

**Ep. 53 - So. What Now?**

Chuluu was mentioned briefly when the party discussed getting friends as allies, but noted it would likely not be without cost due to the state *The Underdark* was left in.
