QUESTIONS

You and your group head over to the Skinny Thrak Table.
[Skinny Thrak Table]
The table edges here are sharply beveled, as though someone has been whittling away at them. Etched into the table top are some of the most emaciated thraks you have ever seen. Their sides draw in together at the waist, giving them a waspish look.

Obvious exits: out

You softly say, "The purpose was to document the lives of warriors and to record on public scrolls. It's not a test of knowledge, just questions about you. You can answer what you are happy to."

Lieo grins.

Lieo says, "Sounds good."

You softly say, "Ok."

You softly say, "How long have you wandered the lands.This can be on or off. Roughly... doesn't have to be precise."

You grin.

Lieo says, "Tough to say. First time ever was about 15 years ago, took a long break in between. Started back up about a year ago, took time off after the summer, and just came back a month ago."

You softly say, "Just remember ye winter woollies and Gak wool shorts and ye be ok there."

You softly ask, "And why am I standing?"

You snicker to yourself.

You pull out a chair and seat yourself at the table.

Lieo says, "This is in no way because of who is interviewing me, but I really admire Bremerial. Reading her work is what guided me down the path I'm taking today. And it's a great path to be on."

You blush a glowing shade of red.

Lieo starts chuckling at you!

You grin at Lieo.

Lieo says, "I think he spends time down in the Rest."

Lieo says, "Last I heard."

You softly say, "Ahhh."

You nod to Lieo.

You softly ask, "What has been your best moment in the lands so far?"

Lieo grins.
Lieo ponders.
Lieo scratches his head.

You softly say, "You may not have a 'best moment'."

You grin.

Lieo says, "My best moments were in times past. I have very fond memories of the way things used to be. Or it may just be nostalgia."

Lieo says, "I would say my best moments now are when I do something new, something I couldn't do before."

Lieo says, "And the first warcamp I razzed by myself."

You turn to Lieo and cheer!

You softly say, "Nice."

Lieo asks, "Too much ale?"

Lieo says, "Well at least your partner knew not to mess with you anymore."

Lieo flashes a wide grin.
Lieo nods to you.

Lieo says, "I definitely count it as that."

You softly ask, "What advice would you give to a new warrior?"

Lieo says, "Study. And learn to hunt without any spells first. You won't always have them available to you. Plus it's a whole lot more fun when you know you've done it yourself."

You softly say, "Great advice."

You agree with Lieo.

You softly say, "If you had to do it all again, knowing what you now know, would you do anything differently."

Lieo scratches his head.

You softly say, "That's good."

You grin.

You softly exclaim, "Someone after my own heart!!"

Lieo cackles!
You grin at Lieo.
You snicker.
Lieo scoots his chair back and stands up.

Speaking softly to Lieo, you say, "Thanks for ye time and good hunting to ye."

You turn to Lieo and cheer!

Lieo nods to you.

Lieo says, "Good to see you again."

You softly say, "Will put scrolls on public display today."
