A Bugg's life . .

[BigJ]

A tattered tome lays open, a gruff looking tanarukk picks up a quill and begins to write with a surprisingly fluid motion . .

Menzo sucked, for 30 years it sucked. Bugg do this or Bugg do tha, Bugg lift this n'tha, Bugg bow lower, Bugg jump higher, Bugg smash skull or snap spine, yes master yes mistress yes yes yes, Bugg be doing all that yes, then Bugg do dishes if time.

Menzo sucked.

But after Menzo, that REALLY sucked!.

Now, another drow town. Bugg stick ta sewers. Sewers gud ta Bugg. No one tell Bugg what ta do. Strainge Sterange Funny being this weak again, take time it will. New master say tha be fine, just kill stuff and he be happy. Bugg can do that, tha easy.

This town be having weird name, to many s's, like they be telling ya ta be quiet n do yer homework.

Been ter market few times, this town be differant differ . . ent, not like Menzo. Drow still drow tho, best be careful, best be smart. Always gud ta be smart.

Bugg went in some crypts once, Bugg not like tha, give Bugg the creepies. Stay clear, Drow probs dunna like their dead being messed with anyhows, so smart to stay out. Not scary, just smart, yeah smart.

Darkwoods is gud, Bugg like Darkwoods, perhapsie better tha sewers.

This town differ . . ant. Not like Menzo. Maybe Bugg not hide so much, but still be smart.

Dunna want be dead Bugg.

Lloth is here too, some other drow gods n'all. Loads of book magic too. Damn magic everywhere, but Bugg gots his magic too, Bugg feeling it grow n'all. That gud

Bat meat gud too, Bugg hungary again. Bugg go back sewers fer some bat meat, tha be gud. Write again later, Bugg do as told n write again later.

Bugg earn gud coin in Darkwoods. Gangs want yer ta join and be fodder, but Bugg smart. Bugg gud at killing so hires out to whatever gang want Bugg attakk another gang, then gets paid by one gang n take all gud stuff from other gang. No law fer thems ta hide behind, and Bugg gets paid twice. Smart Bugg.

Best not hit same gang too many times though, best watch back.

Bugg like Nauklar in Darkwoods. Theres be drink n fighting pit. Gud fights ta watch but Bugg lose coin, Bugg not gud picking who wins. Bah, can always hit another gang. Bugg gets room at Inn, bettter thans sewer. But Bugg not sure why dumb folk buy food at Inn, plenty gud eating in sewers. Some folk dumber than Bugg guess me.

Power in this town strange. Not girl drow n gods but book magickers m a ges run this town. Weird.

Not in Darkwoods though, thems not care so much about Darkwoods.

Bugg went out town, some drow guard ASKED, yeah ASKED Bugg to do some work. Not told, not threaten, just asked. So Bugg did it. Got paid gud. Just had ta hunt down some runaway slaves, bring backs head of leader. It were fun, n he paid guds, drow guard even smiled at Bugg. Made Bugg nervous.

Bugg might branch out more in tunnels, cannna kepp just hitting gangs, thems get smart sooner or laters and gang up on Bugg.

Dunna want be dead Bugg.

Bugg will learn mores about m a ges, too. Theys runs things, maybe they pay Bugg too to go do stuff. Master might be liking that too, as they run this town, he mays likes Bugg write someat bout them.

Next time maybe, Bugg just heard someat sneaking outside door.

[BigJ]

Damn tha Hells, Bugg pushed it to far.

Two gangs pay Bugg visit at Nauklar, but both came at same tyme. Big fight break out, it spill upstairs n Maggot be pissed. He takes Bugg side though, Bugg be paying customer n the gangs aint. He breaks up fight n put one gang boss in pit wi Bugg, Bugg snap his spine gud!!!. Maggot make coin, one gang gets message n do runna, other gang happy rival boss got spine snapped!

Maggot not let Bugg have room back mind, he say Bugg stay in cellar below Nauklar n Bugg pay double, it safer fer his customers. Bugg not mind tha, Bugg like cave there better than room. Also owe Maggot couple mure fights in pit. Bugg like Maggot.

Bugg also like Flix, he trader in slaves in Darkwoods. Bugg bring him new slave fer pen now n then, he give Bugg gud price for other stuff Bugg finds. It gud deal.

Bugg not hit gangs anymure now, Bugg go owts town more in tunnels, earn coin tha way.

Bugg meets sum drow, hunts wi them sum. One girl drow nice, she be weird drow. She there then aint there then aint there then aint. Bugg call her Blinky.

Other Drow aint sa nice, but Bugg play along as earn gud coin. One be spider god Mistress, make Bugg nervous, but Bugg respekk power, Bugg always respekk power. Survive longer tha way.

Dunna want be dead Bugg.

Her Bossdrow do tha talkin, Bugg no mind him so much. Cold, dark, strong, follow her wi'owt question. Bugg see him coming, know wha he likely do n when. Not her though, Bugg not sure wha she do next.

Bugg need ta do sum work fer mages maybe, gets known a bir around town.

Oh, Bugg find weird book, dusty, canna read it. Maybe take it market.

[BigJ]

Bugg be likein this town, it better tha Menzo, better tha other place. Bugg be finkin Bugg can be someone here. nau chance o'tha in Menzo.

Bugg been spendin time lots in the tunnels, learnin ways round outside town. Find snake place, snakes so big they be growling at yers. Bugg finks they taste pretty gud, now Buggs favorete. though still linkein bat.

Bugg earn gold lots, magik get strong like Master says did it would. It feel gud too.

Mages run town but split, theys calls them 'skools'. not as in head bone but be towers of diffirant magiks. Thems not be likein each other much.

Bugg might see if one thems skools maybe helpin Bugg wi'Fredds old bones, maybe gets Fredd ta help Bugg owt now n then. Bugg learn it be called Necrimansee, magik bout dead stuff. One thems skools called tha, others be have names like evikation, cunjaration, illoseun. things like tha. Master will know bout tha.

Bugg meet sum others like him, strong n orc blooded. Also meet some smart drow in town, she be helpin Bugg wi dusty old book. Bugg ask round, it may be it worth gud coin. Need ta chose wha do wi'it. Bugg hide it away fer now, safe place. Dunna want someone come lookin fer it . .

Dunna want be dead Bugg over some damn book.

Bugg need be start makin some friends tha can help protect Bugg wen be needin, canna be long on own in this town, this still be a drow town.

[BigJ]

Dang thems tinmen ar fun ta fight!. Bugg find a cave place full of'em and wen ya hits em they go ding and dong and wen they fall ta ground they goes ding-dang-dong! Make Bugg laff, sound like Bugg make music like tha Songdrow be doing.

Bugg like tha Songdrow, she be makin nice noyces wen she kill stuff n they dont ave ta be tinmen.

Bugg get gud weapon from Mudd, Bugg reckon master ad someat ta do wi tha as Bugg get urge to go check the ledger, n there it be, gud weapon fer Bugg. Cost lot of gold mind, but it wortf it, Bugg call it his 'Splattering Sceptor', on account any enenmy dunna bow to it gets its brains splattered al over it! Ha!

Gots some hope making Fredd swing n axe again, maybe gets meets a neckermincer to show Bugg how, tha be fun Bugg reckon.

Bugg blink like Blinky now, wells maybes not like Blinky does but still make Bugg ard ta hit, Bugg be likin being ard ta hit.

Dunna wanna be dead Bugg after all this.

Tha Bossdrow seems ta know lots of folks. He be makin conneckshuns, maybe one ta watch? Still na clue about tha mistress.

Bugg gettins strong now, be findins bettur fights deeper in tunnels. Tha gud, Bugg like gud fight. Bugg hear talk of some sorta stone guard thing, now tha sounds like a gud fight . . .
