Tyrian Alliance

PTM is a golem formerly aligned with the Inquest. He has trouble remembering what his name stands for but says that his primary purpose is to provide companionship and constructive feedback. After PTM is repaired by the Pact Commander, he joins the Tyrian Alliance and assists them in thwarting Inquest schemes in Castora and subduing Gwyllian, Seneschal of the Forest. He speaks more eloquently than other golems and has earned the friendship and protection of the dog Zeke.

Biography

Visions of Eternity

As the Tyrian Alliance began establishing a base in Starlit Weald, a group of corsairs under the command of First Mate Kiango spotted a golem outside an Inquest base. Since the golem was clearly Inquest-built, they trailed it deeper into the woods and seized it. The golem was damaged during the seizure, but still obviously valuable. Before they could haul it away for sale, the Commander offered to cut a deal for the golem.

The golem identified itself as PTM, though it was unable to remember just what the acronym stood for. PTM told the Commander that it couldn't be repaired without specialized equipment, but agreed to wait for the Commander to get that equipment. In exchange for the repairs, PTM would tell the Commander everything it knew about the Inquest's purpose in Castora.

Even after the repairs, PTM couldn't recall its full name, and the identity of its builder wasn't listed in its internal registry. It did recall its primary purpose, to give constructive feedback and companionship. PTM freely shared what it knew about Director Vloxx and Inquest investigations into locations linked to the seers. PTM made no attempt to return to the Inquest, instead staying with the Commander and the Alliance expedition. It apparently remained linked into Inquest systems, as it was able to keep the Commander updated on which locations had been crossed off the Inquest's list.

When the Commander, Canach, and Rytlock fought the team Sebb had sent to put the seneschal Gwyllian under his control, PTM accompanied them. It tried to talk its way past the Inquest golems, but was unable to do so.

Dialogue

Eternity's Garden

Greetings, friend. How can I assist you today?

You brought Zeke with you?

PTM: The young gentleman was quite insistent that he be allowed to accompany me.

PTM: The others insisted that they "just can't stand hearing that damn whimpering anymore."

PTM: It was quite thoughtful of them.

Zeke: (barks)

PTM: That's a potential hypothesis also, yes.

So how exactly are you sentient?

PTM: An intriguing question that I've pondered myself.

PTM: The answer, however, is rather unsurprising. I simply have been programmed very precisely for my purpose.

Zeke: (barks)

PTM: Inhabited by a ghost? Where did you get a silly idea like that?

What have you been doing around the camp?

PTM: The Astral Ward have had me moving crates around some, but mostly I've just enjoyed talking to people.

PTM: It seems a companion like myself is quite a useful thing to have this far afield.

Zeke: (whines)

PTM: And, of course, they enjoy the presence of Zeke as well. Particularly Isgarren.

When player has listened to the previous three points

Wait, Isgarren comes to see Zeke?

PTM: Yes, he frequently comes by, mostly in the quiet hours of the night.

PTM: He doesn't say much, but he does seem to enjoy our companionship.

PTM: Lonesome individuals like him are precisely what I was made for.

PTM: Although he does spend most of that time rubbing Zeke's ears. Perhaps he finds the texture unusual?

I think I'm good for now.
