Thorck Kurz
Posted: Wed Aug 31, 2011 3:59 pm
A large and confused-looking half-orc approaches you and says, "Uh... I s'posed to give you dis," and hands you a card with writing on both sides.
The front of the card reads "Hello! My name is THORCK KURZ and I am lost!"
You glance up at the half-orc who stares back blankly. You flip the card over, and it reads, in small print,
"My name is THORCK and I am a member of Vallon's Children, an half-orc pacification and re-education program based in NEVERWINTER. My handlers have deemed me pacified and permitted me to leave the compound for a period of 2 MONTHS to determine whether I am fit to re-enter society. Please inform me of my whereabouts and help me get situated with my surroundings, as I may lack the mental capacity to do so myself.
"Please to do not attempt to harm me or encourage me to violence! I'm a perfect gentleman, but if directed or provoked to attack, I could be a serious threat to myself or those around me-- even you!
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you use the following words or phrases in my presence, as they make me very angry, and serious or possibly fatal injury may occur:
WHIP
UNINTELLIGENT BEAST
BROOMSTICK
RAT-PIE
Have a nice day!"
You look up, and the half-orc, Thorck Kurz is now staring at you expectantly, evidently waiting for a command.
