"I'm still quite angry for your deals with Slavers.................. What did you do in the year between when the Triad saved you and when you met me?"
"As well you should be, it is inexcusable. But I'm actually glad you asked that. In the year between when this group began, and when I was rescued, I spent my time and the last of my ill-gotten money tracking down, buying, and setting free those slaves who were in their position because of me. I didn't free all of them, though. My resources were not unlimited, and I was called by the Triad to join this party before my quest was complete. In addition, not all of the slaves had survived...I was rather unscrupulous as to how well the slavers would treat them, you see, and many were in bad condition to begin with."
"Why did you decide to change?" "what was the thing that made you decide to change"
"I believe I already told you that; after about a year of being an officer, I had enough money to retire, which I did. Then, I was called back to my home because of an impending massive pirate raid. I heeded the call, and went to defend my hometown. The pirates were staved off, but...a lot of people died. That made me angry enough not to change to altruism and good, but enough for me to go after the pirates, which I suppose makes me neutral as opposed to pure evil, which I had been. I became truly good only after I was saved from certain death by the Triad, when the pirates defeated me soundly."
"As you already know, I had been severely beaten, bound, and tossed off a cliff into the sea to drown. I repented, and the Triad heard me. The ropes that prevented me from swimming were broken moments before I would have drowned, and I managed to swim back to shore on my own after that. The Triad, you see, believes in giving one the tools to save oneself, and then allowing you to prove your worth by doing the actual work yourself. Now I have a question for you: you say you killed a thousand Orcs. What did they do that so enraged you?"
Beat me nearly to death, tied me up, and tossed me off a cliff into the sea. To die. And I would have died, too, but I repented. *his eyes start to take on that 'fanatic zealot' light again* I repented of my sins. I apologized, sincerely. And I was forgiven. The Triad saved me, they spared me, they forgave me. They gave me the strength to crush evil, the will to resist my former temptations, and I intend to utilize it to crush evil and redeem myself.
"As you know, my uncle and his family were killed by orcs. Those orcs wore a symbol on their armor. Every orc I killed had the same insignia. I am certain I killed no inocents."
from page 718: (had a lucky guess of a page when i stumbled upon me informing you Hyper what happened, and used it as reference to find it)
"Well, it all started when i was about 70, the height of my adolescence..... Coming from a quite large family, I had 2 brothers and a sister, Xavice, Mardak, myself, and Aluvyre *quiet gulp*. Because there was such a large gap between my own and Aluvyre's births (about 60 years, an average Human's lifetime), I was always treated as the 'little sister' of the family, and was always pushed around by my 2 older brothers and just poured over by my mother, who cared for me very much ( I think even more than my brothers!). But enough about that..... by 70 my parents could tell i was a little 'off' from y 2 older siblings, and that my destiny seemed to be aligned with that of Evermeet's somehow.... After being taken to the High Priest of Corellon Larethian, the prophecy was confirmed, that indeed the stars smiled upon my future..... After that point, all i remember is just constant, hard training from my tutors and elders, and through training i learned my preference, the Bow. A good 20 years later of nothing but Training, I was approved to be sent on my 'Quest', and I was put on a boat with a few rowers and an old Priest, who also made sure I was ready for my journey, spiritually and physically (don't ask). Eventually arriving on the Mainland, they left me on the shore of such a vast world, and at first I was absolutely clueless as to what I was doing here. I barely knew a word of Common, and there wasn't a face in sight that I could even speak to if I did! Walking for many days away from that desolate place on the Shore, I settled down in the Forest, the one place I truly knew, but this forest was strange.... It was infected with some strange reptiles I later learned were called 'Kobolds', and they were not very happy with me being there, believe me..... Quick with the bow and at learning, I quickly became adept at their hunting, and after about 48 years of such a Lifestyle, I came across the Paladin Hyperion over there on a road. I decided to join up with him on his adventures(I had learned Common from the occasional lost Adventurer in the Woods), and from there my story with all of you start by meeting Hyperion here."
