[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 193583, member: 426"] [b]At the Inn of the Last Home continued[/b] OOC: Kalanyr, Black Omega: We still have that wedding to perform for your characters. I imagine that will be the official end of the IR. I did promise to throw in a few more characters for Hazen's visit to the Inn of the Last Home on Krynn. So, if by any chance Jean Rabe stumbles across this, consider this an IR tribute to your writing. The door opened again and a crowd of three Solamnic knights, two of them women, a gnoll, an elf, a dwarf, a tall dark haired man in armor, and a half-elven woman with blonde hair entered the Inn. "Pigs," the half-elven woman muttered. "How can we get a seat here?" Caramon rose. "Don't worry, Rikali. There are seats right by the fire for all of you. I would be a poor innkeeper not to have room for my customers." The tall man in armor spoke. "A pleasure to meet you, Caramon Majere. I am Dhamon Grimwulf. How did you know we would be here?" "I must take responsibility for that." Hazen said. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Dhamon. Also a pleasure to meet you Rikali, Fiona, Rig, Camilla, Gair, Jasper, and R'vagho." "Pigs, an angel," Rikali said, he mouth dropping open. Hazen laughed, as did his wife Sarai. "Hazen, I think this is the first time I have heard that reaction!" Sarai said. "It is good to be here," Dhamon said. "I made a lot of mistakes but I have tried to live a better life." "Well, I thank you for rescuing us," Rig, a dark skinned Solamnic Knight, said. "That prison was hideous," Fiona, a red haired woman, who held Rig's arm said. "I made my own fair share of mistakes, seeking power," Gair said as he gazed at Camilla, the dark haired woman by his side. "Now is the time for second chances," Jasper said. "Uncle Flint, do you remember me?" Flint Fireforge gazed at his nephew and smiled. "Well, you have grown." R'vagho spoke. "Is it true that there are gnolls on Toril?" there was a hint of a growl in the gnolls voice as he struggled with a language unlike his native tongue. "Yes, and they are mostly in the Humanoid State. If you wish to visit them, I can perhaps refer your request to the Union of World's embassy in the Kevellond League." The King Priest of Istar rose and looked at Dhamon and Gair. "Your mistakes pale in comparison to mine. I just hope that I can begin to atone for my sins and crimes. I made a grave mistake: I thought I was the source of goodness and that my will alone was correct." "It is a common mistake," Hazen said sadly. "Too often, people fall into the trap of pride. If a man can be said to be holy, it is because of what he does to act on his beliefs. It is not based on some internal quality that makes him better than his fellows. Holiness is defined more by acting, then by being. Or, as a friend of mine has said, actions speak more loudly and clearly than words." "Yes, they do," Dhamon said. "I lost faith in myself. I set a standard for myself and when things did not go right, I abandoned that standard. I guess we are all our worst enemies." "Well spoken," Hazen said. "I have made my own share of mistakes. The secret is to learn from them and to aspire to a higher standard for yourself. Do not expect perfection of yourself, but you can as I have said, listen to the angels of your better nature." "Hazen, it is nice to know that your love of puns hasn't changed." Sarai said. "In my heart, I am still the same man that I was always: capable of good and evil. To be an Angel is not to be perfect, but to strive for that which is good and just." For the rest of that day, there was much talk on the past of Krynn and of other worlds. Plans were made for the future and old friendships renewed and new ones made. OOC: The next book in Jean Rabe's Dhamon saga, Redemption, comes out in June. As does Dragons of a Vanished Moon, the conclusion of the War of Souls trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. The EN Chicago Gameday will be in June as well.
