The Theran Mystique - Volume 1, Issue 3
Well Ilyar wrote me the following...

Deer Keeb,
I have a problem, I think I'm... visually challenged. See, I always used to think my eyes were fine, but it just so happens that I kept bumping into things at the bar where I drink, and generally making a fool of myself. I would go see a doctor, but I am one myself, sort of. What should I do? And should I somehow make reparations for the embarassment I caused to all the other drinkers?

How I see it, Ilyar, you don't really have a problem at all. When you get a bit tipsy you're kind of expected to run into things. It's all part of the fun, isn't it? In any case, I always thought it was. Of course I am a thief and it doesn't really matter if I make a bit of a fool of myself. I don't know what profession you follow but if you need respect I have your answer... There are actually two solutions but one involves staying sober so I won't talk about that one. The other solution is to get completely wasted whenever you do get drunk, do you see where I am going with this? No? Well ok, when you get completely wasted, chances are you are going to pass out so you're not going to bump into things (and if you do, you won't remember). Also if you're passed out in some seedy bar on the bad side of town where loads of rogues and thieves and murderers and stuff are waiting around for you to slip up so they can cut your throat or beat you senseless or stab you in the back or steal your purse or do numerous other nasty things to you, then you look really tough because your not afraid. So there you go Ilyar. Good luck! --Keeb Miedo

Well an unnamed person, I'll call him Sir Fights Alot, wrote me with the following problem...

Dear Keeb, I am a minotaur, and as such, I like to fight... Alot! Every time I come into town looking for a fight, my opponents run. This is upsetting, because how am I going to send my application to the Warlords, without tales of battle. Can you help me with my Problem? Please withold my name as well.

Hmm... I see, I see... many people have this problem. How can you fight them if they know you are coming? Oh my, I've just gotten an idea. I am assuming you don't mind breaking the law. Ok, what you do is wait near the entrance of an area and get someone in the area to be your snitch and tell you if the target individual is where you want them to be. Its all gravy from there, just rush in and do your thing. This would probably work really well in the Sewers just below South Square, because lots of people congregate in South Square. Its not a perfect solution but, hey, its an idea. Also, if your target is a warrior or someone who's not going to go invisible on you or hide, then perhaps you should chase them... that might work too.

Good luck Sir Fights Alot,
Keeb Miedo

Renfel wrote me with more of a rant than a problem but I think I'll address it anyway. here is what he wrote...

Dear Keeb, maybe as a citizen of Thera, and yet a companion in arms to myself, you can understand me. See, I'm just doing my job, but everybody holds me up. How am I supposed to make trip garrad coin or two when people hinder me everywhere I go? I go says to this druid, I says, druid! This is a stickup! And ya know what he says? And this is the part that really gets me. He asks me why! C'mon, it's what I do! I'm not trying to hurt nobody! It would just facilitate the transfer-aw, nevermind. Let's just say, I would appreciate if you could warn people when that when I say "this is a stickup! I'm serious! They shouldn't attack me, just hand it over and everything will be fine. But they never learn...

I understand how you feel Renfel, when I was younger I participated in our guilds lucrative trade quite a bit myself and it always seems people are trying to make things difficult. You just want their gold, not their life, but they seem to insist they are just asking to be killed. The most I can do for you Renfel, is give you words of encouragement, just keep doing your job. That goes for everyone else too, do whatever you do and don't worry about people that don't like cooperation!

Good Luck Renfel,
Keeb Miedo
