[QUOTE="Verbatim, post: 2492417, member: 15549"] Plonk: Although I was initially wary of having anything to do with another gnome, I must admit that Artificer Plonk has given me several true laughs, although I will also admit that they were mainly due to the collapse of one of his many “gadgets” and “toys”. However while many are only able to see madness in his methods, I am not foolish to underestimate the potential that he has once he comes into his own. If he is able to find his focus, I have no doubt that he will be truly great at his craft. On the same vein though, if he continues to run rampant with no one having the strength of will to help him harness his energy, he is just as liable to kill himself, as well as any who happen to be near him, with a failed project. Boromar: While the warforged and I have spent several evenings in the cadaver hall going over the various aspects of how the human body is driven, I do not think that Boromar will truly understand the uniqueness of his creation. His body has none of the weaknesses that plague the majority of the sentient races, yet he still wonders if it is possible for them to truly die. Boromar also has an almost childlike fascination to hear stories of the darker aspects of my field of study. How is a skeleton summoned? How does one become a vampire? What are the weaknesses of a ghoul? Try as I might to convince him that I have no interest in that field, he has yet to grasp that concept. However, he does make an ideal assistant when I examine the inner workings of a cadaver, as his experiences in the war have made him as immune to the sight of death as I have now became.
