Please state your name, your place of origin and how you came to this building today. ”I am called Molov Dert, from the Lortmils beyond Verbobonc and the gnomish Kron Hills. My journey here was a matter of faith and duty to my Circle until my master died leaving me rootless and free to decide my future. I came here today to earn coin and see if this is where nature takes me.” Please address the orbs.” ”Of course. But what of the silent three? How will they make a decision?” “What horrors, seen or unseen, known or unknown, scares you or keeps you up at night?” “A creeping death that infests the head turning the mind to mush and makes a druid into a witless fool. Or the chains and manacles of towns and city life when the world of animals, plants and the elements lives and breathes outside.” “Do you value individual freedom and choice?” ”I do, especially when married to common sense and strength of purpose. But I have seen the power of a wolf pack supporting and working a s a team to succeed so I know there is more to life than these simple values. It is in the shades of grey that a dwarf can learn what suits his outlook best.” “What languages do you speak? Which do you care to learn?” “I know dwarven and common. The Hateful War has passed in the Lortmils but we are still taught goblinoid in case their plague returns.” “Where do you see yourself in ten years’ time?” ”I do not see myself. My eyes look outwards to experience life. Were I a short lived human I may feel differently, but I am not.” “Will you be able to work with, negotiate with or support a goblin, hobgoblin or orc tribe to get the job done?” ”I have heard more tales of the evils of goblins and their kin in our caverns than I have eaten porridge. A meal for Godsday every week. But surely there are some more deserving greenskins out there? But I have not heard of them so good luck finding such a cause.” “Do you think you work well with others?” ”I am trained to work within nature in all its glory but beneath this skin lies the heart of a dwarf. A man of clan, family and friends with a code of iron that we work for each other. But as for how well I may do at that, I do not score myself.” “If you see innocents suffering will you break from the mission to resolve the issue?” ”That is a bit thin. What suffering and do I decide if they are innocent or not first? And what is at stake in this mission? But speaking in generalities I know that once I have given my word to do something then I regard the mission as the path and any other distractions as off my journey.” “Besides wealth, what else will you work for?” The woods, birds and animals matter to me. The curious fey, cool river banks, dark mossy trees, and dappled glades hold more pleasure for my soul than a piece of gold. I have a beard, am a dwarf but not many of my kin hold such belief.” “Will you obey the law even if you feel it is unjust and goes against your beliefs?” ”No.” “What can you offer the team?” ”Magical support, years surviving in the wild and a staunch friend. A shoulder to cry on and a healing bandage if needed.” “Are you willing to endure suffering to complete the mission?” ”There is little point in starting something and not finishing it. Who cares if it is harder, the way must be found. But I have learnt patience - that like the spider spinning a web, I can keep trying despite any suffering if I wish to trap my fly.” “Complete the mission or save your companions - choose one. And why?” ”Why? Why would I choose? No, my companions are like blood and may not understand my deserting them for an oathsworn mission. I would expect some companions are more deserving of my trust than others but truthfully I cannot choose. A mission to save a village may be so needed and urgent that I should not stop to save anyone, but most times these things are not so cut and dried. Give me more of the tale so that I can answer better but first supply me with the companions I can hold hard to.” "Who do you pray to?" ”The Old Faith with the Circle of Life and Death at its heart sings to me. I am blessed with minor magical art in response to my constant praying.“ |
