Message-ID: <1993Mar29.230133.29441@freenet.carleton.ca> Date: Mon, 29 Mar 1993 23:01:33 GMT Ildamar looks around at the gathered adventurers with a measuring gaze. <> "My story," he says, "My story is not a long one, though it has surely been long in the living. I search for others like me. I am of an ancient and not well-known race. Many years ago, there was a war in our homeland, and many of us were taken as slaves, or prisoners. The war is over now, and I travel wherever my travels take me, always searching. With regards to your inquiry, friend Quaeros, I am well versed in the ways of the wild, and move with much stealth when circumstances so dictate. I am also skilled with a blade, though I try to avoid its use when possible. I will not kill another, save if my life, or the lives of my companions are in serious danger, and it still pains me greatly to do so. Friend Alarond. It may hearten you to hear that my people, too are not unskilled in the ways of form-shifting, and I find my skills in that area to be of great use at times. For the most part, I seek to prevent the actions of evil where it may lie, and return those of my kind whom I meet to our homeland. That said, I believe that I will now take my leave and rest for the morrow, as we will be leaving at dawn." Finishing his speech, Ildamar rises from his seat and climbs the stairs. -- Darryl Farr An old grey horse stood on the wall, The Grey Man As daft as he was high.
