Lap-Lem

Lap-Lem is a wingless Gargoyle, working as a miner in the Vesper Mines, living in Vesper.

After having talked to Blorn in Ultima VII, the Avatar got curious about Lap-Lem and visited him while he was busy with working in the mines. Lap-Lem was by far not the monster Blorn described him as. Instead, he was very civilized, and his name just meant "the stony one".

Lap-Lem talked about his job as a miner, revealing that he was the last Gargoyle working in the mines after Anmanivas had quit. He bemoaned that he and his brother Foranamo now only hung out in the tavern, drinking themselves silly. Lap-Lem admitted he would've quit as well, but he needed the income to survive.

Lap-Lem went on to talk about the Gargoyles in general and the strong racial tensions in the city, feeling that it all could end bad. And when asked about Blorn, the Avatar got a surprise. It was Blorn who had stolen from Lap-Lem a precious locket and Lap-Lem attacking him was only meant to get Blorn to return the locket. The Avatar returned to Blorn and forced him to release the locket, which he/she returned to the thankful Lap-Lem.
