Jeff "the Handsome"

Here is a first hand account from the Player of Jeff the Handsome (Fighter) in my current monthly Labyrinth Lord Game.

Jeff, raising a tankard of the darkest drink he can find: "Today, we mourn the poor souls who are no longer with us. But, in their memory, we celebrate the victory that each of us has had, having ventured forth and returned with spoils and stories for a lifetime! The bravery that each friend showed in the face of peril many times over - that is to commended. So, let's drink to the band that won the day, and drink to the days to come! For we will win those, too, and anyone brave and capable enough to join us is welcome! Cheers, my friends, and let the stories and drink be shared!"


Later, surrounded by interested ears: "... And we managed to escape the clutches of that dreadful ghost - those of us who had their wits, at least. We pulled each other through doorways, up ropes, and out into the air - I made sure of it. After having felled a dreadful beast with teeth like daggers, and a second that made men its meal, we would not be bested by some dread spirit!"

But there were those who were hired to join us on this quest that didn't make it. Not because we failed them, but because they failed us. You see the fellows over there - they were smart enough to work with us, and have reaped the rewards. But the few who decided their greed and treachery were more important were duly rewarded... with death. I feel for them - they were capable compatriots, to the last, and we will mourn them still. But for those interested, I'd say that this side of the table is much nicer than that side of the grave. Now, which of you knows the arcane? We're to have a discussion..."
