Biography[]
Background[]
Gryz is a headmaster of the archeological guild the Allegiance of Allsight, based in Ank'Harel. He does not teach, but he oversees research within the guild.[6]
Campaign Three[]
Gryz attended a ball held in Jrusar in "A Dance of Deception" (3x13) as a guest of his friend, Ajit Dayal. He was nervous and felt out of place at the party, and he initially sought Ariks Eshteross's company as he recognized Eshteross also disliked the party. Though he suggested he might leave early, he promised to introduce Eshteross and Chetney Pock O'Pea to Ajit later.[7] He also became taken with Fresh Cut Grass as he had never seen an "autonomously-talking automaton". He attempted to relay the little he knew about the Heartmoor to Laudna and Fresh Cut Grass and was eager to help Laudna with her research with dreams, but he instead launched into a lengthy story about having dreamed he was a mango.[8]
During the ball, Chetney tracked Lady Emoth Kade to the room provided for Gryz. She apparently broke in herself and robbed the room and others in the hall with shade creepers under her command.[9] Chetney, Fresh Cut Grass, Laudna, and other members of their adventuring party confronted her inside the room, but she escaped with the items she stole.[10]
