Our last D&D game is on hiatus (we're playing
this now), but here goes anyway:
Milo Greenbrook (halfing Wiz10/El.Savant 1, Scarred Lands): "I don't know, I give up....Oh, sorry, I thought you were starting to tell a joke. That's a strange question to ask, you know. I mean, I can list some things in life that are really good, some things which are difficult but rewarding, some things which are difficult and unrewarding but serve to further extremely good ends, but which one of them is the
best? Hm. I suppose I could research that for you, but it would be a lengthy and inordinately expensive process. Have you considered asking a priest? I can give you an excellent introduction to someone in Madriel's service, if you like, or you might want to try one of Idra's followers. But I should caution you, you might not want to ask a question like that if you aren't fully prepared to live up to the answer. I mean, once someone has told you what is
best in life, aren't you kind of wasting your time if you do anything other than that? I'm just guessing, mind you, but I take it the paucity of faithful clerics who have asked their respective gods and goddesses for the unabridged, entirely truthful answer to that question might tell you a little bit about how wise it is to just not ask."
