Before I start, I'd like to point out that I'm new at this(The story telling part) but found the irony of it to be worth posting. He died before I found out the actual mountainhome he cam from, so that is(Obviously) BS.

--------------------------------------------------------


This is the story, of Erith Necikmosus.

Erith was born in the little dwarven city of Uristville in 203AD... but little uristville was a poor useless town with nothing to gain. Erith became a soaper when he was 59, but nobody wanted soap, nor could they afford it. So he went off to Linedlash to seek his fortune. The moment he arrive, he was drafted to the military and stationed on a bridge inside the fort...he and his newfound 'friends' stood on the bridge, and as soon as they were there a voice boomed.

"PULL THE LEVER!" it cried, and the bridge withdrew from under them. Erith fell, wondering why it had come to this? Then he realized it was his own fault for being a soapmaker. As he hit the ground, he found he was...ALIVE! The fall had not killed him! He had not a moment to celebrate before the spear of a dwarf above him landed and hit him in the lung.

He started hacking up blood, but as he did so another dwarf took note of him. "'EY! Floating voice in the sky, e've gut a live'un!"

And so the voice said, "Very well, he shall live and make his soap" So it was said, and so it was done. Erith was a happy little bugger then, and he rushed up the stairs, but before he reached the top, he collapsed, fell down the stairs, and died of suffocation...

And thus ends the story of Erith, the dwarf that couldn't

That should be published as a children's book.

[Joseph Miles]

That one post made it worth the trouble of typing that up

[magikarcher]

  Yay, I encouraged a fledgling children's book author! Some day, when you cause mass turmoil and mental disruption, you can look back and say 'Wow that moron on the bay12 forums was right'. Though you need to draw some pictures.

[Joseph Miles]

I already cause those things daily, like when I tried to bring logic to the interwebs.

BAD IDEA



As you can see, I have way too much spare time.

[magikarcher]

Nobody has more spare time than me. Except for WoW fanboys.

[Joseph Miles]

Heh. Then I've definitely got you beat, my sleeping hours are 7AM-4AM and I play WoW(Occasionally.) No job(can't find one) not school(Still on break) and no social life(Except for Sarah and my Friday night D&D games)

[magikarcher]

I withdraw my previous remark.

[Joseph Miles]

WHOOT! I WIN! I WIN! I W-...thats not a good thing....

On the bright side, you have a nice uplifting story with a great moral you can teach to your kids one day! 

[magikarcher]

And that is?
Don't grow up to be a soaper in a village with unhygienic poor people?

[Joseph Miles]

If the way I handle kids in DF reflects in ANY way on how I'd treat them in real life, they'll be on fire within 3 minutes of leaving the maternity ward.
