[QUOTE="Femerus the Gnecro, post: 269353, member: 2381"] [b]in lieu of a *proper* update...[/b] So... chapter 3 is coming along, but unfortunately is stuck on my work computer at the moment. I'll finish it up and post it at some point next week. In the meantime, however, I've decided to give all of my loyal readers (I [I]do[/I] hope I have more than 1) an example of some of the pre-game character stuff that our DM had us do. Without further ado, here is Kerim's personal statement! Kerim Lightedge “If there is a more honorable motivator than curiosity, I don’t know what it is. Well, except maybe treasure… or a good pot roast for that matter… and a nice, plump, short woman… with HUGE *ahem*… AND a good pot roast. Wait… my personal mantra statement seems to have meandered a bit. Can I start over? Hello?” I was born in the empire, or at least that’s what it says on the maps. Well, it doesn’t exactly say “Kerim was born HERE,” rather, it says that my birthplace is part of the empire, despite evidence to the contrary… Damn. I’m wandering again. Ahem…! Far to the south of the spire lies the city of Greendon, named after a local mountain of the same name. It’s not a very tall mountain, but the inhabitants of Greendon figured that if the Empire can annex Greendon and call it an imperial holding without ever having seen it, then Greendon Hill can damn well become a mountain. And that’s just what happened, much to the confusion of the Imperial cartographer’s guild. At any rate, I was born there in a little house in the eastern part of town, where most of the halflings lived. My mother was there (shocker!) and my two sisters, eager to strangle me out of jealousy once I cleared what I now refer to as my ‘first dungeon.’ That is, my sisters were ready to strangle me, not my mother. From birth, I was obsessed with small, tight openings and shiny things. Fortunately, I was more than willing to share my shiny things with others, which led to a great deal of exploration into more small, tight openings. Finally, after a few years of unadulterated spelunking, I decided to merge all of my interests together into a freelance career of dungeon crawling and the gathering of shiny things. I soon learned that I was a great deal smaller and faster than most others who have taken up the same profession, which allowed me to get ahead early. All in all, I’ve been very lucky not to get my head separated from my body thus far. Or swallowed… or impaled… or crushed… Why do I do this again? Ooo… shiny… [I]Next post... The story hour continues with Chapter 3, part 1![/I] [/QUOTE]
