Kid Lair
« on: March 08, 2012, 03:31:09 am »

I was exploring a lair I found and I stumbled across Iteb Ushatoshur,Dwarven Child. He saw me and greeted me with a "hello my name is inigo montoya you killed my father prepare to die" (just kidding  :)) What he actually said was "I am Iteb Basementcircled!, prepare to die!"
Is this normal to find killer kids? Also, why did he get his name wrong? Thanks

The most obvious answer is that the kid is a were*, but the other shit I don't get. Specifically why he would go by another name. It seems like he's trying to pull a vampire alias but there's really no reason for him to do it.

Edit for question: DO weres so that? I've never actually paid enough attention to one that wasn't transformed so I don't actually know. It just seems pointless since they don't really take steps to blend in beyond not mauling everything when they're normal.

That wasn't technically a miscarriage, but the doctors didn't have a concise term for "gave birth and immediately baptized the baby in liquid fire."

Yeah, it's perfectly normal(IMO) to find WereKids, i've found three in my time with the new version.

It's the same name, Ushatoshur is dwarven for Basementcircled.

On that note, know that many creatures have a last name in their own tongue but when they talk to you, they may say the translated version in human.

Which means you're all killing linguists. Congratulations.

And, no. lycanthropes do not change names.

The proper response in such situations:

"Stop kidding around and turn into whaterver-you-turn-into-usually, I need a quick bite to heal my severed motor nerves."

The entire content consists of senseless murder, a pile of faceless naked women and zero regard for human life in general, all in the service of the protagonist's base impulses. It is clearly a cry for help from a neglected, self absorbed and disempowered juvenile badly in need of affectionate guidance. What a sad, sad display.
