Transcript: Grond

Grond is a wrecked shipbuilder, who had found his way inside Ambrosia.

Description[edit]

The Avatar was surprised to find a human in the Underwater City of the Gargoyles in Ultima IX. Grond explained his presence by having come too close to one of the columns and a whirlpool had drawn his ship and him under sea.[1]

Grond tried for half a year to build a boat so as to escape, but with no wood available, that proved an impossible task, as rock was a useless building material for boats. Grond however was willing to trade some of the things that had survived the way down with him.
