[Your char name] what is best in life?

Mileda Saraceil (female half-vistani, domain wizard with a puppet familiar): To find what lies beyond the Realms of Dread, to built better golems, to add stupid PCs to my collection of constructs

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."

Autumn Sky (elven druid): "To delight in nature's bounty... oh, the pretty colours... to feel the sky coursing through your fingers... and to bear your enemies. The kind of bear with claws."

Vasili Harold Rebenok (character in a GURPS In Nomine game, mortal detective, born in Soviet Russia, now very rich in post-Soviet Russia): "To help the weak, to prevent injustice, to keep a secret, to lead the people to their manifest destiny over the capitalists and religionists of backwards lands, and to drink... in moderation. Hand me another bottle, darlin', I've been sober nearly half an hour." Harry was fun.
 

Shiraz (ex-monk, cleric of Mouqol)... "The free, noble, not to mention profitable exchange of goods and services that bind us all into the Great Wheel of Wealth, which turns endlessly-like by the grace of God. And a nice whitefish salad ain't half bad either, if you get my meaning, which in this case is clear and bright as the fez on my head".

Mallus D'argentum (fighter/rogue/aristocrat)... "True love, honor, family, and the look on someone's face as they fail to realize you're playing them like a cheap hammer dulcimer. Honestly? Oh... well then privilage, wit, expensive euphoriants. Sometimes I wish I never stopped using. Really. I give you my word..."

Lester Bang (Acolye of the Boss)... "Well, Springsteen for sure. And not getting shot. Faith, family, old time rock-and-roll. Working class values. Beer. Did I mention not getting shot? Asbury Park in the summer. And putting a few 9mm rounds in a devil-spider to save a pretty girl with tats."
 

Grayl Stormborn (half-elf Sorcerer) "There was this girl...."

He actually tended to start most of his answers that way. Not that his player ever did. Noooooo. Not Me.
