Barnuckle Eustache disappeared several months ago. Not long before that, he had been claiming to have “found a portal to an ‘oasis of violet delight’” in a cave in the nearby Northeast. Naturally, most folks paid Barnuckle little mind. A number of people have claimed to have seen him in their dreams since his disappearance. The wiry lad would plead the dreamer to find him and give directions. Each and every dreamer however, would forget the instructions upon waking.

Just the other day, Barnuckle suddenly showed back up in town, bearing completely violet skin, down to his bare toes. He seems to begrudge anyone who had dreamed of him for not following his instructions to come release him. He was able to find his own way back, but, “It took, like, a really long time, man!”

Barnuckle has had enough of people teasing him, and wants to take the group with him back to the portal.
