[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 2770533, member: 1210"] [b]Old Man Malford[/b] [i][b]10/21/97 O.L.G., on the road to Mirsa, Dorhaus[/b][/i][b][/b] A few things happened before the party’s aforementioned arrival in Mirsa. There was of course the incident with the faux faerie, which we have already discussed. The party met up with Unell Nutcrusher, a female dwarf, and helped her avenge herself on the man who had abused and assaulted her. The party gained a new member after word arrived that the King of Fuzia wished to speak to Dexter. Thanks to Rajah’s trump-maker Unso, the party was able to return to Fuzia, knowing that they would be able to trump back to Unso. The group found the news the king delivered to them daunting. “The Bishop of Fuzia and I both support and believe in you,” King Verrion II said uncomfortably. “But the Church has exerted a great deal of pressure on us. Although we aren’t going to turn you over to them, we did agree to place a warden with you.” Rajah snorted, “That’s ridiculous. You just have to talk to them-” (this to Dexter) “-and they’ll turn to your side.” “A... ‘warden’?” Dexter asked, dumbfounded. [i]Rajah’s right. When I use the Voice, I speak as Galador. Everyone who hears me knows it![/i] “Yes,” the king replied. “Pandos the Mute.” It made a lot more sense all of a sudden. Pandos the Mute was a paladin who could neither speak nor hear. Thus, he should have been immune to the effects of the Voice. “Very well,” Dexter nodded. “I accept this.” The others looked at him. “Is that wise?” asked Rajah. Dexter nodded. “Are you sure?” asked Lochenvare. Dexter nodded again, hiding a smile. The party trumped back to Unso. *** [i][b]10/28/97 O.L.G.[/b][/i][b][/b] Further along in their journey they encountered a burial mound and intrepidly investigated it.
