Juhani "Jumanji" Saarijarvo's page

Allow me to perform a requiem for your passing, upon my clarinet.

Somehow I got better at using this stick. Who knew it was for music and not just breaking noses?

A lady of chilling beauty steps from the shadow of a near by door, her pale skin, light blond hair and blue eyes giving a possible indication of her northern heritage.

"Out-stepping bounds? I doubt she has, although he might have. Not that there is anything wrong at all, with Ulfen Men. It's that the Blakros, or Black-rose as you put it, family have a more matriarchal view on family roles. Ulfen aren't that different, with individuals proving themselves worthy, or would you look down on Shield-Maidens and White Estrid? I certainly hope you don't think little of our dearest Zarta. Or me for having been adopted into the Blakros family."
She pauses, and gives a disappointed look at Juhani.
Noticing the Asmodean symbol about his neck, she adds "And do not the Angels of Vengeance to do as they wish, with His acceptance?"

The Ulfen man then turns to the newly arrived woman. "Heh. You see, I have nothing against the strong women idea by itself. I fight alongside a few in my time as a Pathfinder. Only when the women start making their men whipped is it getting into the bad. It is something I have seen in Black-rose, such as marrying that pretty-boy nerd elf at the museum. My woman can kill demons all she wants, but I will never put on a frilly dress and make trenchers in kitchen."

An Ulfen man with a lute, a silver chain bearing an Asmodean symbol, and a blackened mithral breastplate stands to address the newcomer.

"Hah. Woman of Black-rose is muchly fortunate to be taken by man of the north. He will make her many of the strong and beautiful babies. Yet she must learn proper place and stay at the house while big man slays dragons and brings home meats and monies for family. Black-rose women have problems outstepping bounds, but strong Ulfen men show them the true path."

"By the way, what is name of earth-breaker? Perhaps I write ballad of the legendary lady-killer, not leave out mighty weapon."
