GULGALLANA

[soulping]

[ You find yourself sequestered in a cave deep within Waldemar's mountain. A table and a set of chairs have been carved from the surrounding rock. Torches are set into the walls to provide light, while a faint breeze blows through cracks in the walls and ceiling to provide ventilation. There are no doors or windows to speak of.

In the center of the room are your (randomly assigned) gifts: A BASKET OF FOODSTUFFS and A VERY LARGE JEWEL.

There’s an hourglass of wrought silver embedded in the wall, with ten rubies inside. Pinned beside it is an elegant tapestry featuring musical notes interspersed with symbols from myth and legend, such as swords and grails. You are part of THE BARDS.

Resting on the table are the following: a sheet of parchment, a quill, and a capped jar of ink. Written on the parchment is a list and three words in bold lettering:

PROTECT
TARGET
DEFEND

Y'know what? I don't like those damn scribes. They keep takin' all the good jobs.

The eternal rivalry between the written and spoken word, huh...? Let's go with that, then.

On it! Let's give those dastards what for!

Re: DISCUSSION

[debate_avenger]

[Well. That is a word I did not expect to hear from you.]

...Do you... even know what a dastard is?

I'm an entertainer. The language is my canvas.

Well, if you meant to call them contemptible sneaking cowards, that's fine. I'm just a little surprised that you would know that word, since it's kind of archaic.

Re: DISCUSSION

Well, obviously I did. That's the sorta people what do dastardly deeds.
