The Theran Mystique - Volume 1, Issue 5
Question One:

Well here is what (Troubled Out Of His Intelligent Mind) wrote...

Dear Keeb,

Mr. Keeb... I was a bit skeptical about your little section in the Theran Mystique, claiming that you can help with people's problems and what not, so I decided to give it a try. Couldn't hurt anything... at least not that I know of. Anyways, I am really curious on my habits of learning. You see, I am a stubborn Drow at times, and it appalled me that being one of the most intelligent species in this land, my habits of becoming any better in my specialties is quite tedious and dreary. I have noticed that the decreasing sagacity within me is diminishing, or at least I think such, but that should not hinder my learning capabilities, correct? Am I just getting dumber or is there another force that shrinks my knowledge which causes many days of hard and constant training (and back pain, mind you) that seems as if I'm just wasting my existence in solitude. I beg of you, Mr. Keeb sir, please solve my problem. Why and what is causing this preposterous amount of time it is taking me to become extremely proficient in my skills?

Sincerely,
Troubled Out Of His Intelligent Mind

P.S. And why can't I seem to find much gold? I rarely travel to the legendary brothel, and the only thing I spend money on are mechanisms of flying. Now why is it that I have a shortage of money and the tax collectors keep banging on my door? Is it because some bastard thief be pinching a penny or two from my lovely bank or what?

Answer One:

I don't think this will take long to explain as it is a fairly straight forward question. Training is one of the fundamental parts of an adventurer's life and as such an adventurer can be severely disconcerted when it consumes more time then one would like. The basicality ( a new non-word word) is that there are many ways to enhance ones training experience but none of them can really make training truly easy. After all if training were truly easy then it wouldn't be a big deal. I think all I can truly tell you is to keep working and eventually mastery will come. Encouragement is about all I have to offer here. Oh and about gold if you want more I believe in the last issue four that is of the Mystique I said something about getting some gold quickly.

Good Luck,
Keeb Miedo the Grandmaster of Assassins

Question Two:

I recieved a hard to answer question from Vandrien and as always here it is...

How many times can I slay Aeva in a day without immortals interfering?

Answer Two: Well lets see, technically I have no way of having a correct answer unless of course I got Vandrien to try it out. So instead of trying and giving an answer that makes one of these fine specimens of undead want my head, which they could probably rip off fairly easily. I'm going to introduce our opponents and allow them to figure this out on their own time. So here we go, our first contestant is a real blood sucker, shunned of light, both the light of day and the metaphor for good. Once a human with a terminal illness he sought vampirism as a cure. Please welcome Vandrien the only vampire currently in Thera. Our second contestant is a thief and the only undead halfling. A member of the once secretive and now dissolved Covenant and now the only one left. Please welcome Aeva the Last of Covenant. Now if you would give our contestants a round of applause and wish them good luck they can figure out the answer whenever they feel they are ready.

Good Luck to both of you,
Keeb Miedo

Question Three:

Here is a problem from Rhastam that most of us will never experience...

Keeb,

For the last few moons, I have noticed that every single zombie that I manage to raise has some sort of discharge from their bowel. It is a very the guildmaster Quazark cant stand it when trails of goo lead inside onto the examination table. Aside from using old cheese to plug up the hole, can you render any suggestions as to how to combat this very stinky problem?

Answer Three:

I can't really speak from personal experience considering I am not from the undead magehall as Rhastam puts it but I can on the other hand give you some more general advice that might help. Ok, lets see what one would do about such a problem. I doubt it is possible for you to simply leave them outside so I won't even think of suggesting it. Oops too late oh well. In any case I can see how this could be quite a problem. No one wants undead bowel goo all over and not only because its unsanitary. Walla! I have it! Make your undead diapers. I've seen it before on young children. That way all the mess is caught and you don't have to worry about tracking it around your guildhall and across town and everywhere else you might go. Of course this may make your undead a bit more work if its a lot of flow from the bowels but otherwise you can probably just let the drip go the duration of their existence. Well Rhastam problem averted no more leaky undead bowel goo.

Good Luck,
Keeb Miedo
