Terrorist futures? Wasn't that Poindexter's idea? I believe I've heard of this 'death roll', btw, but can't remember the address. Rotten something or other.

Oh, and BSC: Yes, I forgot Nazgul. I didn't know about Ogre though...

Also interesting that my name can be translated as "they plow" in Spanish. :P

4-5 for me, I believe, and I've started programming feed aggregators so I don't have to check them all to see if there are new posts.

Aside: The reason I didn't find the earlier thread was because it had not, in fact, been purged yet.

Edit:

A tale I once heard from a wise man...

quote:
Once upon a time, there were two brothers who ran a farm with their father. One of them was a reasonable, knowledgeable man who knew his business. Sadly, the other one was a fool.

And when their father died without a will, the two brothers did not want to continue running their farm together (mainly because each of the two brothers knew in their heart that the other was a fool and would only bring their business down). And so they pondered long how they should divide their inheritance.

They split up everything nice and even, until they came to their livestock. Here, they could not reach agreement. Because, see, the two brothers had both worked hard to keep these animals, but because each were convinced the other was a fool, they were equally convinced they deserved them more. And so they resolved to make a wager.

Actually, it was the foolish brother who proposed it. "I will build," he said, "a new stable right next to the old one. And when in the evening the beasts come home from the pasture, some of them will go into the old stable, and some will go into the new one. And I will keep all the animals that go into the new stable; you can keep the rest. Fair bargain?"

"Fair bargain," said the other, and though the foolish brother did not ask for it, both brothers worked together to build the new stable, because it was not really a task for one man. At length, they were finished.

In his mind, the foolish brother was already gloating over his new herd. Of course, he thought, all but the most stupid of animals will come into my stable. It's so new, and bright, and shiny, what beast could resist its attraction? Thus he gloated, and awaited with eagerness the moment when they would drive their cattle back from the pasture, and they would each choose their stable.

But oh! When the animals faced the two stables, they did not once turn their heads to even look at the new stable! Instead they walked mindlessly on, driven by force of their habit, into the old stables that were their home.

Only a single old donkey walked into the new forum, because he was nearly blind and had lost his way.

Later, the smart brother felt bad about having let his brother walk into the trap of his own folly, but when he searched for him, intending to propose a more fair division of the animals, he was too late: In shame, the foolish brother had mounted the back of his donkey, and ridden off into the night to escape the embarassment. He never returned.

You eventually get a sense where punctuation ought to be, and then read as if it's there. It's a bit like reading words with only the beginning and ending letters in place and the rest jumpbled. :)

That would be correct in this case, yes. Even though it's not actually German in its phonetics, the pronounciation of Tolkien's languages is slightly related to German.

And it's stressed on the third syllable rather than the second, which is something my father always gets wrong when he addresses me that way for fun. :D

For some reason, I pronounce the short form like AM(?) said: "AIR-ran".

Character Description

People become Adventurers because they seek for something. Some desire fame, some power, and others wealth. Many wish to prove their strength, and some want to find their destiny. Few, however, are motivated primarily by their thirst for knowledge...

Name: Daryl Mycroft

World: Ermarian, born in 801 IE

Race: Human

Profession: Mage/Soldier

Mycroft has only recently finished his apprenticeship at the Tower of Magi. He is currently enlisted in the army of Avernum and fighting in the Empire War.

Age: Twenty-two (823 IE, in the midst of the Empire War)

Place of Birth: Formello, Northeast Avernum.

Appearance:

A man, of mediocre height, stands with his back turned. He cannot be taller than five feet. The grey cloak he wears is of a rough cloth, and looks both uncouth and worn. Beneath this cloak, his garment is that of an adventurer: A light armor made from boiled leather, and beneath it a tunic that has seen better days. All in all, he looks closer to the observer's idea of a vagrant than a mage, let alone a scholar. His tanned, leathery skin betrays his long and arduous travels even more than his cloak does. He carries a light, but gnarled, twisted staff that an Avernite will recognize as carved cavewood. This staff is unadorned and has nothing set in its tip, but there is a small inconspicious warding sigil etched somewhere far down its base. A mage trained in the lore of runes would recognize it as a minor charm, simple but very effective, rendering the staff almost unbreakable. The staff shows signs of wear like the mage himself, and must have been used as a bashing weapon at more than one point in its life.

Getting tired of being stared at from behind, the man finally turns aroud. His young face comes as a surprise to anyone who would have judged him older. He is in fact in his early twenties, even though in all but his face he looks over thirty, and his garb makes him look still older. Mycroft's face is dominated by his bushy eyebrows and the beard he has recently stopped shaving. He has a high forehead even at his age, but he has always had that. A rugged, but not unpleasant face to look at, over all, and his weatherbeaten skin only adds to the effect.

His dark brown eyes contain the wisdom brought by years spent studying the arcane lore. But they are not dulled, nor calm: A fire appears to glow deep in them; the never-ending hunger for more knowledge and more experience. The burning desire to learn. Mycroft's features shift into a light, knowledgeable smile in greeting, but they cannot hide a certain curiosity as to who this unknown observer might be, and what may be learned from him.

Personality, Strengths and Weaknesses:

Strength: Openmindedness & Adaptability
Whenever a situation comes up where an encounter with a new, unfamiliar sight might prove disturbing, Mycroft's curiosity may cover up any initial unease. Weakness: Suicidal Curiosity
"Oh look! Now that is a strange-looking insect indeed – it appears to be at least two meters tall when standing on its hind legs, is plated in green-brown armor and possesses pincers that seem to be its main weapons. It also appears to inherently radiate a forcefield… my analysing spells reveal it to be a simple, but very strong anti-magic field. Finally, it can run amazingly fast. I just have to note this down; I've never heard of this creature before… hey, why are you all running awa--- Aargh!" Enough said.
 Strength: Ranger's Abilities
Even after studying the magical arts in the Tower of Magi, Mycroft has retained the cave lore taught him during his apprenticeship to a sage in Almaria. With this comes experience in Cavelore, Navigation skills, and many other abilities necessary for surviving in the harsh environment of the Underground.
 Strength: Magery
Mycroft graduated from the Tower of Magi with honors shortly before his twenty-first birthday, in 822 IE. While he can – being skilled in the ways of a ranger – defend himself in close combat against weak opponents, his preferred way of fighting is magic. He knows most of the standard combat spells, as well as many spells used for magical analysis that aren't commonly taught to apprentices.
 Weakness: Physical Frailty
Daryl has an almost iron constitution, but when it comes to actual force, he is better off in the back of a battle, frying or riddling his opponents with arrows from afar rather than wielding a sword.
 Weakness: Confidence in himself
This comes as a real surprise. We have here a man striving constantly to learn more, to increase his experience. No one would possibly accuse him of thinking himself all-knowing; that would interfere with his continued quest for wisdom. Yet this same character will be over-confident when it comes to trusting his own experience and senses. He is reluctant to accept being instructed, especially on a topic he believes to know well. He may occasionally reject being corrected, even in matters that the other one is quite intimate with, and grow obstinate and stubborn. Even though such lapses never last long, they can cause problems in situations where quick action is required.
 Weakness: Lack of social/practical skills:
While, as described above, Mycroft is ready to interact with and adapt to other races and cultures with little or no inhibition, his actual social instruction is lacking. To simplify: In his life, an adventurer deals with two sorts of beings. Those he has to fight, and those who pay him for it. The latter are often humans with vast resources; merchants, rulers and the nobility - a social class that expects certain standards of behavior. When these people are concerned, Mycroft should stay in the back and let others negotiate, because he might botch things up, or worse, get saddled with a bad deal due to his weak haggling skills. Magical knowledge and cave lore simply is not all. 
Possessions:

A worn cavewood staff, light leather armor (cave lizard skin), a rough grey cloak (an heirloom from the surface), a tattered tunic (woven from cavewood cotton, an uncouth but durable material), a steel shortsword (also an heirloom), a tiny obsidian dagger used for etching runes (Tower of Magi standard issue), a pair of lizardskin boots, a cavewood bow, but no arrows.

History:

Daryl Mycroft was born in 801 IE to his parents Radel and Dora Mycroft, in the city of Formello, Northeast Avernum. He is one of a small generation of children born and raised in the caverns (there are only a few of these who were born before the Reconciliation; most inhabitants of Avernum are still immigrants, though the native descendant population is now on the rise). Radel and Dora had been exiled from the surface for vagrancy and unlicensed sorcery, respectively. They first met in Avernum.

Daryl lived in Formello till the age of seven, when his parents moved to the city of Almaria on a trek. The roads were dangerous then, for it was the high time of the war against the Nephilim, who had recently united under the rulership of the human mage Anastasia and forged a temporary truce with the Slithzerikai, who had already ravaged the lands south of Formello some time back. The trip was not without risks, and the trek was guarded by experienced mercenaries and soldiers of the Crown. When the trek was ambushed by Sliths as it reached the shores of the southern lake to set sail for Almaria, it was young Daryl's first sight of a battle.

His father Radel died in this battle, and his grief-shaken mother Dora was left to raise him alone once they reached the city of Almaria.

At the age of ten, he was to be apprenticed to one of the craftsmen in the city ( who had a shortage of apprentices anyway due to the lack of younger Avernites, which gave him a lot of options). A solid choice might have been one of the Almarian vintners or wine-traders, but he did not want that. The other choices were either a former bladesman of the Empire army or the local scribe. Since the death of his father, Daryl had been wary and distasteful of anything related to combat or warfare, and so he became an apprentice to the scribe.

Since the sage was also an alchemist and the potionmaker of Almaria, Daryl spent a lot of his apprenticeship learning the properties and uses of herbs, making potions, and of course gathering ingredients for his master. This was a tricky task, and the alchemist himself had learned a lot of the cave and nature lore that enabled him to journey through dangerous lands unharmed. He passed this on to Daryl.

His apprenticeship was brought to a stop when the old scribe had never returned from a journey to procure some graymold from the northern caves. In spite of the best tricks that his cave lore gave him, he had been discovered by a raiding band of Slithzerikai. His body was never found.

Daryl, now old enough to journey alone, had joined the next caravan to the Tower of Magi in the Southeast and, by a fortunate chance, managed to secure himself an apprenticeship in the then most prestiguous (and only) center for magical learning in all of Avernum.

However, he did not much like the tower's risky environment in layers of intrigue and political struggles. No sooner had his apprenticeship been finished and he himself been certified a licensed mage, than he left the tower to go north. When he was twenty (in 821 IE, four years after the assassination of Emperor Hawthorne III) he arrived in the town of Formello, which he had last seen thirteen years ago.

He stayed there for a while, making a little money from protecting traveling merchants and selling potions. A year later, however, the Empire War began as the Empire retaliated against the murder of its ruler. As the war grew increasingly desperate for the Avernites, Daryl in a mix of patriotism and unemployment desperation joined the army of Avernum.

Just as the barriers sprang up, he was sent up with a rag-tag band of other enlisted adventurers to Fort Ganrick. It is now 823 IE.
