Did the contributor quit? I don't recall offhand who wrote that thread. It's possible that the contributor left, or that he lost interest in that thread or had that his ideas didn't seem good enough to him, or that he didn't have the time to write about it. Or maybe he just forgot about that thread - most contributors have so many threads started here and there. > Humanoids are great!

This then ends the War Journal for good (I think). Jacob Skytte scythe@wanadoo.dk *** Sven Svenson Neutral 9th level Fighter (Str 18, Int 6, Wis 5, Dex 10, Con 14, Cha 12, = AC 4, hp 59) Personality Traits: Cautious/Rash 4/16, Modest Proud 5/15, = Peaceful/Violent 4/16, Courageous/Fearful 15/5, Reverent/Godless 14/6 41 years old, Brown hair, Blue eyes "It is not the nature of a Warrior of Thor to settle disputes with = words." Sven's parents were killed when he was very young, and he was adopted = into the household of a berserker warrior. The young boy was expected to = become a mighty warrior following Thor and, when his new family moved = into the Royal Household to live among the berserkers, he saw rigorous = training every day. The Ravenguard, the king's personal force of = berserkers, took him under their wing, many of them seeing him as the = son they didn't have. Through years of hard training Sven became a strong, strapping lad and = went on his first raids. Sven experienced his first berserker rages = under the spells of the godar (priests) of Thor and found himself = addicted to the rage. Over the years Sven discovered that he only felt = truly alive, when under the influence of the berserker rage. When he = couldn't always depend on a godi to be there to induce the madness, he = turned to natural solutions, poisons made from plants that induced a = rage like that of the magic, or worse. Through years of abuse Sven's = health and mind has been slowly gnawed at, but he is still strong and = hardy, just not as hardy as he used to be. Sven's many accomplishments and lust for battle has gained him much = honour among the Blessed Warriors of Thor and he is now a leader of men, = though leadership is not one of his strong skills. Of course the = berserker warriors don't care much about that, so long as he leads them = into glorious battles in the name of Thor. In battle Sven wields a battle axe+2 and wears chain mail+1. Though unmarried, Sven has had several mistresses and is the father of a = few children, none of whom mean anything to him. Ralf Silk-Tongue Lawful 11th level Skald* (Str 10, Int 14, Wis 16, Dex 8, Con 11, Cha 16, = AC 6, hp 42) Personality Traits: Modest/Proud 16/4, Peaceful/Violent 13/7, = Generous/Greedy 15/5, Reverent/Godless 14/6, Honest/Deceitful 13/7, = Loyal/Unreliable 15/5 56 years old, White hair and beard, Grey eyes "All the Gods stand behind my powers, I am one of their representatives = among the Northlanders." *The skald is basically a wandering cleric, who represents the entire = pantheon of Immortals with an interest in Ostland. Well educated, poetic = and respected, the skalds are welcomed everywhere. They often seek out = great events and heroes, so that they might write of them or include = them in their tales. Ralf comes from humble beginnings. The child of a thrall, he was born = into slavery and a hard life. The only real fun he was allowed was when = he and the other children were entertained by an old skald, Olaf = Branison, who frequently visited the household. Ralf took in Olaf's = tales and retold them again and again to the other children. One = afternoon Olaf surprised the children at their work and overheard Ralf's = retelling of his tales. Seeing the potential of the boy, Olaf went to = his master and arranged for Ralf to become his own thrall (for a = considerable amount of gold, as it happens). Ralf was forced to leave = his mother and join the old skald as his servant. Gradually Olaf worked Ralf into his telling of tales and other forms of = entertainment, letting the boy play the roles of some of the characters = in his tales. Olaf taught Ralf to read and write, saying that he needed = him to aid his own failing eyes by reading and penning the tales Olaf = related. Ralf eventually put every tale Olaf knew into writing and, in = the process, was educated to become a skald. On Olaf's deathbed he announced Ralf his heir, freed him of thralldom = and asked him to carry on his work. Ralf readily agreed and tearfully = burned the old man on a funeral pyre, when he died a few days later. He = took up Olaf's possessions and set out on the road again, continuing his = travels, his tales and his life as a skald. For four decades now, Ralf has travelled the Northlands, often engaging = in adventures himself to be where the events unfold, when they unfold. = He is quite a famous skald and would be very respected everywhere, but = for the fact that he was born a thrall. Some hold that against him, = unhappy that they should welcome him as their equal or even their = better. Ralf quietly accepts this and has learned which places and = people to avoid. On his travels Ralf is clad in leather armor+2 and carries a war = hammer+1 for defense. He wears a ring of survival, which has saved his = life on several occasions. Ralf has no wife, but he was a famous womanizer, when he was younger. = His skill with words has left many sighing maidens behind him, some who = happily rewarded him in the dark, cold Ostland nights. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2003 17:53:10 -0000 From: Colin Davidson Subject: Re: Wrath of the Immortal ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thibault Sarlat" To: Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 10:11 PM Subject: Re: [MYSTARA] Wrath of the Immortal > if you want to stay on the good side of the law, you can buy the ESD of WotI > on TSR site (they are not expensive at all); and if you don't want to > support the copyrights laws (i don't support this attitude) you can find for > free the ESD on Kazaa.

I personally have downloaded about 1500 files from Kazaa and have never received a virus. The only virus I have ever got was in an email, but my McCaffey caught it. Kazaa comes with virus protection now anyway.
