A tired, old man stumbles into town. He is a stranger in these lands. The only words he says are "laffing."

The stranger walks a little farther into town, and then collapses. Then only thing he keeps saying is "Laffing."

Paul Laffing is walking by when suddenly he sees someone on the floor. He picks the stranger up and suddenly stops when he see's their face. He calls for someone to help him heal the stranger.

"Paul are you starting trouble again...." Fooser says as he enters and then looks down. "Oh geez." Looks at the man closer. "I dont know any healing magic, but I have some potions?"

"anything would be fine. Just hurry. This man is very important," says Paul in an urgent voice.

"Alright I only have normal healing potions, ill give you a few." He hands over some orange bottles.

Paul Laffing gives the stranger the potions. He then drags the man into a nearby shop.

Elaralith is walking by the shop when she sees the old man through the window. Extremely concerned at the man's state she rushes into the shop..."Oh my...Elara save us!" Placing her hands on the man's head, she utters a quick prayer to Elara. A shaft of shimmering light seems to descend on the man. "You need rest. Help me get him to a bed, quick!"

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 10:53 pm

"Where is a bed where he can get rest?" Paul questions.

"Maybe the tavern or that building in the west of town"

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Mon Jan 20, 2003 11:25 pm

Paul Laffing, with the help of Fooser and Elaralith, carry the stranger to the tavern. "I thank you all," Paul says, "yet i am amazed how you help a total stranger, without knowing his causes."

"Well It dosen't appear he is in the health to do anything bad."

Paul Laffing pulls out a book that he always keeps close to his heart and starts reading to himself. He looks up and shows Elaralith and Fooser a picture that looks like the man in his younger days. "I knew I would find him! I had my doubts, but this proves it is true. This is my great- great grand uncle. ((http://www.illarion.org/community/forum ... ?t=3892)).He is 350 years old!" Paul proclaims excitedly.

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 12:53 am

"A human? 350 years old? Are you sure?"

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 12:58 am

Paul reads the book over again and then does some calculating in his head. "Yes, I am quite sure," He says with certainty. "Look at the date in this book."

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 12:58 am

(looks at the book)

Mmmm where did he come from?

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 1:04 am

He is the Great Mage Grandildor, ruler of Former Grandildoria.

Grandildor · Post by **Grandildor** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 2:55 am

Grandildor opens his eyes and begins to talk. "I have found you at last, boy. I have much to tell you and teach you." Grandildor coughs and then closes his eyes.

Bumbol walks into the room and finds the old old man lying in the bed sleeping. The old man looks beat up. The hobbit talks to paul and finds out about the old man and finds out he was alive in the time of grandildoria. Grandildoria was the place in which hobbits were enslaved. Bumbol wants to ask so many questions to the old man, but he must wait until the old man is ready. Bumbol pulls up a chair and smokes.

I think we all could use a drink

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 3:16 am

Paul Laffing buys drinks for everyone except Bumbol, telling him he will only buy a drink for him if he Pronounces it correctly.

Fooser · Post by **Fooser** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 3:46 am

thats mean paul...

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 3:52 am

But he is dephiling the city of my ancestors with his horrible pronunciations...

Bumbol Woodstock · Post by **Bumbol Woodstock** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 4:41 am

Grandildoria there, I have a sort term memory on most things. Anyway, i am in no mood for a beer.

Elaralith · Post by **Elaralith** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 3:52 pm

Elaralith busily adminsters to the old man, ignoring the various arguments around her. "Hmmm, I think some hot medicated soup will do you well. Elaralith hands the old man bowl of hot soup that gives of a fragrant herb aroma." Elaralith seems mildly surprised at the comment of Grandildor being of 350 years. "Three-hundred and fifty you say? Strange for a human to be so on in years, but then many queer things are known to happen..."

Grandildor awakens and thanks everyone around him. He sees Paul reading a familiar book and asks to see it. He wipes a smudge from the page and say,"I am over 500 years old, boy. Take better care of this book, for i remember it well." Grandildor then gets out of his bed and walks around to stretch his legs.

paul laffing · Post by **paul laffing** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 4:37 am

Paul takes the book back and looks in disbelief. "over 500 years old! By Elara, thats amazing!" he exclaims. He gets up to ask his great-great grand uncle about his homeland.
