Time to get up already?  Didn't we just rid the world of that menace a decade or so ago?  Alright, so be it; I'll just put the finishing touches on the longsword I've been enchanting and I'll be ready to go before the next blue moon.Dwarven Fighter:  We'll now that I'm an adult and now longer have to seek the clan's permission, I suppose we'll be off! But first, we feast!Half-orc Barbarian: I'm the tribal elder now.  I can't go anywhere! Leastwise, not without a walking stick.The thing about levelling up in a quick hurry is that most heroic figures of legend in our own world have finished their conquest before they turn thirty.  Those who haven't likely never will.Boy, that's depressing coming from a 31 year-old college student who has yet to even conquer Northern California.</blockquote>
