Raban sighs, "No it is usually not a good idea to trust those of Kototh or Chaos but anyone who can pass the training to be a Druid cannot be a fool or an idiot. Maybe it is just because he is not a human that we have difficulty understanding his intent. My Bardic teacher was an Elf so I know the Sidh are very different from humans, enough so that you must be careful not to expect a human answer. But remember this, no Sidh is likely to trust Kototh or Chaos even minutely, yet Arawn tried to learn something from them. I can only hope those smarter and wiser than I, know what they are doing." > > Louder, and to the whole group "There is a storage room off that-a-way > (west?) that may have some items of value.

I'm sorry it couldn't have been more." Raban (to Kiet) "You took many risks to help others and may have saved lives doing so. Even I could not have taken many more hits. That is the danger of being out numbered, you are more easily hurt. If you can keep an enemy from a friends back, you have greatly helped your friend, even if you do not hurt that enemy." _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl From: J Hooten To: PBEM List References: <48F91393.7050900@mosquitonet.com> In-Reply-To: <48F91393.7050900@mosquitonet.com> X-XS4ALL-DNSBL-Checked: mxdrop230.xs4all.nl checked 71.74.56.124 against DNS blacklists Subject: Re: [pnpgm] comment: making armor X-BeenThere: pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl Alex Koponen wrote: > Z'leyra will mention that if and when she has time she as a master > armorer and weaponsmith will be happy to make armor and a weapon for > each member of the party.

Raban says to Z'leyra with a smile, "I would love to have you make me armor powerful enough to worry the gods, you can take my measurements anytime you wish." then continues "Do you really think that armor would change how they treat such as I? Is it not obvious that I have been chosen to entertain them, why else would a boy training to be a great dancer suddenly grow to a size to be ridiculed off the stage no matter the quality of his performance? So I chose a Goddess who would love me as well as be entertained by me and if she chooses harder tasks for me it will be because she knows I will do all I can for her. But if a tasks needs doing, does it matter whether you are armored or naked? You must still do your best to achieve it. Perhaps it is the other way around, the gods knew you had a difficult task and arranged for you to acquire powerful tools to perform it?" _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl http://abroere.xs4all.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm
