Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lazybones" data-source="post: 1314993" data-attributes="member: 143">Thanks for the kind posts, all.  It will be tough writing a dialect like Hodge's in a way that's convincing and not overly jarring to the reader, but I've had two dwarves thus far that were very atypical (Lok and Arun) and I wanted to delve a bit into the more basic stereotypes of the race.  Not that Hodge will be a shallow character; I haven't decided where he'll end up in the story (and he may yet fall prey to my vicious anti-NPC tendencies), but I do have a few ideas for him.  And I needed a love interest for Mole (okay, just kidding, sheesh, put the crossbow down, girl <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> ). Besides, there's plenty of priests of Helm left to kill off. BTW, I just got the latest issue of Dungeon, with a new installment in the Adventure Path.  I've only just glanced at it but it looks like a planar sojourn may be in the future for our dedicated heroes (and, from the art, some weird foes...).  Now I just have to get caught up. I'm staffing all-day meetings this week, so I may not get a chance to post again until Friday... but there's a pretty decent cliffhanger in the works, of course...Thanks again for reading,LB</blockquote>
