Tattoo Sorcerer

New Classes - Tattoo Sorcerer (Auri Tu*)

Part 1

"I first observed the Auri Tu on my Southern Quests. The olive skinned people of the forests of Athenkar have very unusual shamans. These shaman all called Auri Tu, or Painted Sorcerers (in their native tongue) It is more apt to call them Tattoo Sorcerer as the Painted reference is to the colorful tattoos that covers the shamans.
At first I thought these were just spiritual figureheads. But soon I found out differently as while in the jungle we were set upon by several angry great apes ( we seemed to have trespassed into their lands )
As we formed a defensive circle, amidst angry ape screams we heard a commanding voice from behind the apes. Standing just beyond the apes was a native. Naked except for a loin cloth. His body was covered with many colorful tattoos.
The apes turned to confront the man. The Yuukorryn stated to speak very rapidly in a low voice. A tattoo of a Jaguar on his right arm started to glow. As the man started increasing the volume of his voice the tattoo intensified in brightness.
He then quickly whipped his arm around and the glowing tattoo slid off his arm and solidified into a rather large jaguar. A piercing scream fill the air. The apes stepped back, uncertainty written across their apish faces. Then the Jaguar pounced on one of the silver back apes and bit deeply into its neck. A sickening crack rang out and the ape fell dead.
The remaining apes disappeared into the jungle. The jaguar looked us over and growled and then took off into the jungle after the apes.
When we turned to express out thanks to the native sorcerer, he was gone." - Gangun Hu, Explorer
