Good to hear. People react differently to these kinds of things.
I remember when I was last in a car crash the girl who was driving turned to me crying after she got out of the car and said "I hit them. I can't believe I hit them." She had totaled her car and minorly damaged two other cars she bumped into, luckily with nobody but us hurt. I had a bloody nose from the aribag impact and bruises on my legs where the crumpled front of the car had impacted me and I was coughing and half blinded from the airbag dust but I jumped about three feet in the air from sheer joy and adrenaline. "We lived!" was my reaction.
My friend rolled his bronco in the arizona desert. Fortunately we both were belted in. After 4 rolls we finally came to a stop and the first thing I said to him was "Damn! That was fun!" His reaction was to start laughing hysterically. Different reactions, for sure.
Ok, I start my 4-day work cycle today, which means my posting frequency and quality will drop during those days due to me being on the road a lot and until late, using a mobile phone for web access. Please bear with me.
I've added background, personality and appearance to Thrindar's character sheet. Here are the pertinent bits placed here as well:
BP&A
Background:
From a very young age Thrindar had been taught by his parents to be the best he could be. Not being like many parents they hoped only for the best of their children and never tried to pidgin hole them into any specific profession. His father was a well known dwarven smith and his mother was a tanner. Unfortunately Thrindar took the whole ‘best you can be’ attitude to an extreme and due to his obsessive compulsive behaviors worked out a hierarchy of people over the years. He chose the profession of a wizard and more specifically that of an evoker. As he continued to learn he quickly found the company of others to be overwhelmingly uncomfortable. But, over time, he has learned to ‘tolerate’ others. Thankfully his familiar, a grey tabby named Toby, is actually very friendly and often takes the edge off of his very odd master.
Personality:
Thrindar is very much an elitist. He believes in a hierarchy of things. To this end he has group people into categories where their class, race and even gender play a big role in how he treats them. The order of classes are evokers, conjurers, abjurers, transmuters, diviners, illusionists, necromancers, enchanters, wizards, druids, rangers, sorcerers, clerics, bards, paladins, rogues, monks, barbarians, fighters, and any others. The order of races are dwarves, gnomes, halflings, half-elves, half-orcs, humans, elves, and any others. The order of gender are males, females, and any others. Of course he is at the top of the hierarchy being the de facto best of the best. He is also extremely obsessive compulsive.
Appearance:
Thrindar is short for a dwarf and a bit overweight for his height. His features are plain save for his flame red hair and his piercing reddish brown eyes. He generally can be seen wearing a dark brown shirt and breeches, and light brown belt and boots. Looped into his belt is a pouch and upon his back is a pack with unknown contents. Near him at al times is a grey tabby cat with an odd gleam in its eye.
Thrindar steps into the church, glances around and then clears his throat as Toby peeks into the doorway. "Apparantly, if we wish to rid the town of its troubles we are to vanquish the ogre and his kobold allies in their cave hideout in the hills nearby. I have been given directions. Apparently the trouble started two months ago. Prior to two months ago the ogre was just an inconvenience and a local curiosity. He and the kobolds generally didn't bother the town too much. As long as everyone kept thier distance, the ogre and the kobolds left the town alone. A woodsman and some other victims were apparently mutilated."
I tweaked it a bit... Mutilated was not in the original dialogue. He's got an 18 INT though. He is able to remember spells verbatim and those have got to be way more complicated then simple conversations. :|
Hi! Back from skiing! Alive but knackered.
Lots of reading, and excellent reading I must say! Very good roleplay indeed!
I'll post when I can be included in the story..

I know you guys are chomping at the bit, but lets see if we can get Rosalia worked in here real quick. I'm off for a couple days now and sick to boot, so I'll be able to be a very active DM for a bit. Thanks!

Ok all, here it is...
I have been down with some diabetes complications for the last two weeks and am now geting better. As such I am needing to get caugt up on jobs in progress. On top of that I have got my self hooked into trying for a play.
What that means is iIam going to be working late (I hope) and if I get a part, I will be praticing for my part if I get one. It is for a local community theater, but one that prides itself in prfessionalism.I will still be active in pbp, but i amy be reducing to like a very serious once per day poswting frequency.

You Know, that was a good question. I never thought of asking that.
He and Thrindar are going to get along famously.
