GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My gaming friends and I once had those 3am post-gaming conversations where everyone is a little bit slap-happy. We were discussing how dwarven sernames always seemed to have a stone or metal paired with another random verb or noun. Ie Thuderbarr Stonecrusher or Olaf Ironbeard.

We went on a riff on this for a while coming up with more and more ridiculous names before deciding the most dwarven of all dwarven names to be Chiseldick Rockhumper.

Ah, the "creativity" of teenage boys with too much caffeine and too little sleep.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Tory has stamped her authority on the Quorum, and retires to the President's Office for some well deserved R&R. However - well, this is awkward. It seems no one thought to clear the previous President out first. Hi, Zombie Zarek! How ya doin'? Tory's crisis is:

Unexpected Reunion
Skill check (8 YGP)

Possible interrupts: IC, SR, Reckless. Everyone, please pass or play. You can also send me COs for your play into Tory's efforts to keep possession of her braaaaaains.
