REPUTATIONS
-----------
Artos the Drunk
As anyone who is anyone (and sometimes it seems like there aren't that many
"anyones" around, just a bunch of "no ones") should know, the Heralds have among
them a great and powerful gnome. He's not really powerful in the sense that I
myself am powerful, with the whole "mastered all abilities from every single
guildhall in Thera" background, but he's powerful all the same. One of the
biggest areas of Artos's strength is his tolerance. Not of stupidity (none of us
can really tolerate idiots), but of alcohol.
If it's fermented, Artos will find it. His flaring gnomish gnostrils (yes, I
said it) can sniff out hops, barley and sour mash from miles away. Mead has met
its match. Whisky has been walloped. Rum has been rolled over, all by Artos's
conquering liver.
If you haven't seen or talked to the little guy, he's a really swell individual.
I'd suggest finding him in the Mockers Tavern and tossing back a few glasses of
the local specialty, unless straight whisky's your preference (and oh, is it
mine).
For the reasons stated above, I have reputed Artos with the obvious title of
"Drunk".
Gleefully yours,

Zarat the Honest
For anyone that didn't already know, I was maliciously oppressed by the Justice
named Zarat a while back. While standing at the North Square, my senses were
assaulted when the patron Melenn arrived without any pants on. My sensitive and
innocent halfling eyes were abused to such a degree that I felt it was worthy of
some legal and lawful action.
Seeing Zarat standing at the North Square as well, I began to file a complaint.
However, I soon realized that Zarat was too engrossed in the peep-show to pay
much attention to my cries of desperation. I continued to badger and pester the
Justice until finally he did respond to me - by marking me a criminal with a
WANTED flag.
To make a long story short, my outcries of "Justice brutality" and "vulgar
displays of power" were sent out immediately after. Zarat, fearing obviously for
the security of his position as a Justice, came crawling to me, begging for
mercy. As I am obviously a kind and benevolent soul, I figured that a little
leniency wouldn't hurt, so I offered to let bygones be bygones if Zarat agreed
to send a note of apology for his obvious abuse of authoritah.
Once Zarat's shaky hand penned the scroll of his apology and had it delivered,
I revised my opinion of him. I understood how he could be overtaken by his manly
urges, especially when presented with such an "open and free" individual as
Melenn. However, that isn't to say that I approve of it.
Regardless of my opinions on Zarat's personal vices, I had to respect his
straightforward nature in handling this matter. He didn't continue trying to
press his issue, believing himself to be right. Instead he bowed down to my
obviously superior arguments, and in turn made himself an honest man.
For the reasons stated above, I have reputed Zarat with the obvious title of
"Honest".
Gleefully yours,
Belbris
