I was about to say that, but I figured it's far more satisfying to kill her myself rather than watch someone else do her in. :P

What with his comments about halflings, I suppose he is a bit of a racist, and the generic CG-ness of the elves would really clash with his LN alignment.

Well, this Anomen reminds me strongly of certain kinds of real-world religious fanatics, so I'm particularly unfond of him. :D

> Well, I think he'd be considerably less-than-understanding.

Yes ... insecurity and homophobia often seem to be linked. And I can very well imagine his asshole of a father calling Anomen certain names, as he did in one of Silrana's stories IIRC, which wouldn't help either.

As much as I want to kick Anomen's teeth in sometimes, I still feel sorry for him when I think about his background. :/

> LOL! We are in complete agreement!

What did you expect from someone who's as unromantic as myself? :)

Who knows, that womanizer tiefling might actually go along with it.

> Laska's gamestats are : St 18/48, Dx 18, Cn 17, In 12, Wi 11, Ch 16.

I think you've been downplaying her Int and Wis a bit, except in the last episode, in which she thoroughly humiliated Isaea. 11-12 is on the upper end of average even under the new 3E system and slightly above average in 2E. And is her Cha supposed to be mostly looks or closer to the generic definition of having a strong force of personality and natural air of leadership?

(Hmm, totally OT: am I the only one who thinks that Jaheira's mental stats seem to be too low for the way she acts in the game? Cha 15 and Wis 14 aren't bad but just seem a little weird compared to, say, Aerie's Wis 16 Cha 14, and Int 10 looks plain wrong for someone who can match wits with just about every other NPC and who tends to be the first to offer information in many situations. There's no way you'll make me believe Knight-Anomen is as smart as and wiser than Jaheira.)

> There's also a picture of her on the TNT-novel site if you haven't seen it yet.

Speaking of which ... *kicks self* Another thing I've been meaning to ask you for months is where you got that picture from, and if you happen to know the name of the artist. I found a few elven portraits done in a similar style, but have no clue who the artist is, or even if it is the same.

Nope.

Aerie's stats are what they are because they have to be high as she is a mage/cleric. I think she is actually above average in all the mental stats.

Where Anomen is concerned, violence is always acceptable IMO.

Go ask your old man, Anomen. I'm sure he'll gladly have "the talk" with you. Better yet, ask Sir Ryan Trawl. Yeah, seek the wise guidance of your superior.

Hilarious, but I don't know if qualifies as Anomen-bashing when he is so in character.

Narri has only so much patience for idiocy, even from Anomen.

I don't know if you ever noticed but my usage of 'Cesspool' is directly linked to how idiotic he's acting in the given story. Yours almost always gets that nicname.

Well, I did say those were the game-stats. Personally, I don't go for the numbers of the charsheet. Those numbers are simply too abstract for me. I prefer to think things like : She can lift a treetrunk, do a backflip and land on her feet, she can run a marathon if need be, she can count to ten ;), say the alphabet backwards ;), speak a little elven and take it from those points.

> And is her Cha supposed to be mostly looks or closer to the generic

Mostly looks. Laska is too impulsive to be a true leader. She can keep the group together well enough, but she's no General Patton or Winston Churchill. ;) She does have a strong personality, though.

I agree with you on that one. Perhaps BG2 Jaheira is a different one than BG1 Jaheira, but maybe Bioware didn't want to change the stats too much for the sake of continuity. On the other hand they did up Viconia's wisdom by three points.

Another Example are the conversations between Anomen and Korgan. Now, Korgy only has a wisdom of nine, but he's still very much more witty and insightful than Anomen.

I got it from http://www.kirith.com/portrait/ just before Leo was kind enough to put up the TnT page. But that site is constantly changing with newer and different portraits. The Webmaster might now, so you might try e-mailing him/her and ask about the portrait. I'll send you an original version of the picture a little later.

Heh, he must see elves as frivolous light-footed party-animals. But if you live for over ten centuries, you're allowed to have fun and 'waste time' (from our perspective), imo.

It think that's more the bit about wanting to become a knight that makes this puritan arrogance swirl around him, more than the fact that he's a Helmite, though.

I shudder to think how many insecure people there must be in the world, if those two are linked. And it's insecurity which leads to hate, war and death. :D

Well, I don't mind romance personally. I just hate it when people start talking bollocks about it. I HATE shakespeare for that reason.

> Yeah, it's kinda hard to see where trash ends and art begins at times. :)

just a bit. In Vancouver (Canada), some local artist wanted to take a live rat, put a metal box like 50 feet up in the air (or at least i think it was a box) and squish the rat onto canvas and frame it for an art gallery. Thankfully, the humaine society stopped him. I just remembered that. Pretty sick if you ask me.

Just checking in for a welcome break from RL... and was so glad I hadn't missed TnT! So, I'm just sneaking this comment in under the wire.

Always!

LOL! Wish I'd thought of that!!!! ;D

What, no genie popping out?

Absolutely -- just check out her tattoos! :(

*stunned silence* What she said!

*rolls eyes*

No....not really.

I vote for option #2!

*giggle* Sounds like a former supervisor of mine! She didn't actually blackmail anyone, but she was always threatening to write a book....and she knew where quite a few bodies were buried if you know what I mean. :)

Well, I'm sure Viconia can think of something....creative to do with him or to him... perhaps feed him to Khittix? No...don't want to hurt the nice spider!

Be careful for what you ask!

Soul throbbing eh, now that's a new one...

That pretty much sums it up, Viconia.

Loved your take on the *play*. I always cringe when I get into the playhouse -- pretty hard to take that stuff! Looking forward to more TnT!

Ah, thanks!

*smiles* I'm always glad to hear that.

> LOL! Wish I'd thought of that!!!! ;D

Those poor nobles had to sell most of their furniture to pay off Dougal De'Arnise. ;)

> What, no genie popping out?

Nope... not yet, anyway. :)

LOL! That's true...

ROTFL! Couldn't believe it either?

Can he ever? :)

I bet she must have made a lot of people nervous. :D

Khittix doesn't like tummyaches much. :D

> Be careful for what you ask!

Especially if you're overly religious. :)

It's *shudders* flowery proze...:)

> *rolls eyes*

*snort*

> *applauds heckler enthusiastically*

LOL! I'm glad you agree...

> Woodpecker? Oh don't get me started! :D

LOL! I gave Laska that birdgame WAY back in part 2 of Tnt. She told Haerry that she would imitate the sound of a woodpecker by repeatedly slamming her fist in Haerry's forehead if he wouldn't shut up. :)

> That pretty much sums it up, Viconia.

Yup...

> I am sorry it affected you in this way, though I understand that's when

I posted that story Sunday, one day before the assassination. Even though there's no way I would have voted for Fortuyn, such things just are not supposed to happen here. Adn right now, this is getting a very scary place to live. I was working on TNT storylines when it happened, and frustratingly enough, the ideas just stopped flowing temporarily.

> oh yeah? What do you call 'long' then?

When the file approaches 50Kb, it's long. ;) This story was short in that it was only *looks up in file manager* Heh, 32KB... Well, it FELT short...

Maybe, maybe not... :D

No, Rose and Laska have been flirting before around part 23. They're having fun at this moment, and Ano has nothing to do with it.

> uh huh :)

*grin*

> actually, that was what I was thinking too! gosh, I guess I am naive :D

LOL! Don't worry about it...

> I am not sure he even grasps the concept!

LOL!

> What does he have against theatre?

He had to sit through this play before with his wife. A gruesome fate. :D

> Oh my god!

Griffins have sharp claws. :)

> accidentally!?

Near-sighted gravedigger. :D

> scary!

Plus I bet it was not a fun thing for her to see. :)

> bet that hurt, grunt

I would think so... :)

> Ah, Rodrigo - I knew him well.

LOL! I wish I didn't... :)

> woodpecker?! I would call her a griffin!

LOL! It would fit...

> wise lady is she?

Just avoiding trouble...

> You go girl! Enjoyable installment as usual. Poor Ano and lucky Rose. :)

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the story. Thanks for commenting,

Assasination-indued writer's block? Did Dekaras kill your muse?

Yes, that's our dear Viconia.

Heh.

I begin to reflect that's it lucky for Anomen that Laska isn't interested in him. If she were, she'd likely shag him quite literally to death.

Let us all be thankful that Jan never got his hands on the Big Metal Unit, as my scribe calls it. The Realms would never survive.

Yes, that's my Sister, all right. *chuckle*
