    Sorry about no post for the last few days, guys. I'm dealing with some vehicle repairs that I've been doing myself, and havn't been going too well due to seized bolts cause of brake dust.

    "Keetah's story is sad terrible. Small Keetah hears spirits and tells other goblins. Other stupid ugly goblins hit Keetah and call him 'Mad.' Keetah not mad, except at stupid goblins. Granix came and helped Keetah. Killed all the stupid goblins who hit Keetah. Other goblins not happy about that. They too afraid to hit Keetah though. So they send Keetah away. Keetah and Granix wander the forests avoiding stupid goblins and their ugly hob friends. Until some time ago. Then Keetah found treasure trove of great things and food. Stupid hobs caught Keetah and tried to make him follow Maglubiyet. Maglubiyet is a mean nasty goblin god who doesn't care about goblins. Keetah never follow him. Not ever. But then Keetah and ugly Pag broke out and found new friends. The spirits tell Keetah to help you, so here we are."

    "Quite a story," Toman looks at Granix then back to Keetah. "So had you and Granix ever met before then?"

    Keetah thinks for a second and responds, "No, first time Keetah see Granix was when he killed stupid mean goblins who hit Keetah."

    Keetah looks at Granix and says, "And I've not had a moments respite from your blathering since, have I you old fool?"

    The apparition silently shrugs at the goblin's barb.

    Toman looks a Granix, "I've not heard him speak, and honestly I would be curious to hear of his views on things. It is not often the living may speak with the dead." He pauses, "At least not without paying some price in return."

    Keetah's ears twitch at some unheard sound and he responds, "Granix says 'Shadow man is wise. Keetah should pay attention to shadow man. Keetah is lucky to have ancestors who talk to him.' Keetah thinks Granix is lucky Keetah listens to him. Granix not even a goblin when not around Keetah. Just a lonely spirit. Mostly Granix just tells Keetah what the other spirits want Keetah to do. Other spirits allllllwaaayyyssss have something for Keetah to do. Never stop asking for Keetah to fix this stream, trim that branch, kill these poachers."

    Toman chuckles, "The dead have odd demands on you it seems." Toman looks around, "Has no one else any stories they'd like to tell," he looks pointedly at Pah, "perhaps story of bravery or daring deeds?"

    Pah pulls his face off the greasy mutton shank and levels a considering gaze upon Toman, before surreptitiously throwing a wink toward Keetah.

    “Ah kin speak of ze midnight sun, and ze strange things done by ze dwarves who toil for gold.” Pah pauses to clear his throat with a hearty wash from his wineskin.

    “Ze arctic trails speak of such tales zat may make your blood run cold.” Looking around the group, the party can almost feel an icy breeze blowing from Pah’s eyes.

    “Ze Northern Lights ‘ave seen queer sights, but ze queerest zey ever did see, was ze night on ze shore of ze frozen Crehore when I cremated Bucktooth McGee.”

    *to be continued*

    Bucktooth McGee hailed from ze land of Bree, where ze shire-leaf blooms and blows.
    Why ‘e left ‘is ‘ome to the south to travel aboot, Gods only know.
    ‘e was always cold, but ze thought of gold seemed to ‘old ‘im like a spell;
    Though ‘e’d often exclaim through ze frostbite’s pain that ‘e druther march through Hell.

    ‘Twas Solstice Day as we packed our way across ze Yeti’s Pass.
    Speak of ze cold! Through ze blanket’s fold ‘twould bite us hard in ze ass.
    If our eyes we’d close, zen ze lashes froze, ‘til sometimes we couldn’t see.
    ‘Twas surely no fun, though ze only one to whimper was Bucktooth McGee.

    We camped where 'e fell and 'twas easy to tell that Bucktooth could nae go more.
    As we slurped up our broth 'neath ze wintair's wrath, Bucktooth moaned "I'm chilled to the core."
    "And I need to know, in this land of snow, that you'll cremate my last remains."
    'e seemed so low I couldn't zay No, and swore that I would no matter the pains.

    In the dawn I rose, and found 'is body froze, and began to consider my task.
    I fashioned a sled from the remains of his bed, as the cook fire would not serve as he asked.
    I had no plan, but the damned dead man would give me no respite.
    For days I grumbled and began to stumble, and the corpse smiled out of spite.

    At last I came the shore of the frozen Crehore, that has drowned, froze, entrapped many souls.
    Entombed in the ice, I found would suffice, a craft that had long paid its toll.
    With hammer and axe I chopped and I hacked, and kindling together did sweep,
    With flint and with steel, I lit up the keel, and ignited the enormous heap.

    The cold dry wood roared as the red flames did soar, and I burrowed a glowering hole.
    Then I put Bucktooth in and heaped it again so his froze ghost could no longer scold.
    Then I made a hike, for I didn’t like to hear him sizzle so,
    The heavens did scowl and I pulled tight my cowl, as the icy storm raged its bellow.

    I do not know how long in the snow I wrestled with grisly fear,
    But the stars were out and danced about ere again I ventured near.
    I was sick with dread but I bravely said, "I'll just take ze peek inside.
    "I guess he's cooked and it's time I looked," then the coals I shoveled aside.

    And there sat he, look calm and at ease, in the heart of the furnace's roar.
    He wore a smile you could see a mile and said "Please don't be a boor.
    "It's fine in here but I greatly fear you'll let in the cold and storm.
    "Since I left Plumtree, to the south in Bree, it's the first time I've been warm."

    Toman laughs, "What wonderful stories you both tell. 'Twas a time when the only tales I ever heard were scribed into the stone of the grave."

    He pauses, thinking for a moment before continuing,

    "Here lies the bones of Jasper Jones,
    he ate whene'r he was able.
    But overfed he dropped down dead
    and fell beneath the table.

    He drank, my dear, of ale and beer,
    of honey mead and wine.
    Many contend that drink brought his end
    Though he lived to ninety nine

    So when from the tomb, to meet his doom,
    He arises amidst sinners.
    Since he must dwell in heaven or hell,
    He'll go where they gives the best dinners."

    He pauses for a moment and stares into the camp fire.

    "I should tell you the tale of forgotten grave of Allisa
    If you would care to hear it..."

    "Ze lad 'as ze right of it!" Pah exhorts, before falling into a rollicking sing-song, "He drank, my deeeeeaar, of ale and beeeeer, of honeyed mead and wiiiiiiiiiine!"

    "Aaah, yes... Ze wine..." his misty eyes look off, seeing another time, a younger age.

    Snowdown is having personal troubles...
    The impression I get is he would like to come back to the game, but at this time it just may not be possible.

    I like Keetah too... and Pah...

    I'm alive. And I owe everyone an apology. Stuff just got real real.....unmanageable real. It's heading back on track now....not sure which track that'll be, but at least its going.

    Anyway, I should have the next post up today.

    You don't owe me an apology at least. This is a fun diversion and real life is what's important. Besides, Keetah got to tell his heartbreaking origin story.

    Well Rolan doesn't need an apology, merely an appreciative audience...and gold LOTS of gold! :)
