Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bill Reich" data-source="post: 7268433" data-attributes="member: 6892958">I started playing Autogar back in AD&D1 when it first came out. He was a Baron's son but his father was a problem gambler and had lost all of the family's ready cash and the rents from the peasants for the next few years. Autogar was the eldest but it looked like there would be little to inherit. Autogar's mother advised him that he had better marry a rich woman and he took the advice to heart. He had armor and weapons and a riding horse but an actual warhorse (or really good plate armor) was out of his price range. He hired on as a caravan guard and met a player-character merchant's daughter who was going to be rich. So I had to roleplay  courtship, where Autogar thought he was slumming (he was a really good-looking nobleman and she was ugly and a merchant's daughter) and she did not fall for his line of BS.Fast-forward and they have been on a sereies of adventures, she was a fighter and a good one, and have become friends and they are both rich. He goes home and puts the barony back on its financial feet. He thinks about how much he admires the young woman and realizes that he is sincerely smitten. His father is still alive, so he has no responsibilities in the barony. He gets his father's promise not to gamble, which doesn't work, and goes back on the road. He runs into Caroly (not a typo; that's her name) again and proposes. And they get married.</blockquote>
