I have met with ze dwarf Lorith und ze good elf Arasminna, und I have been accepted into the warrior guild. I told them of papa und his legacy as a great troll slayer, und I think this was the deciding factor in my favor. They also complimented me on my new pink shirt, und then we fought a ghost which was missing his head. I would say that this was a very good meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After I was accepted into the warrior guild, I was finally permitted to kill the trolls! Unfortunately, ze trolls are much taller and more difficult for ze chopping than I realized. I was forced to run away from them, many times, killing only a few of ze terrible monsters. Fortunately for me, I met another brave gnome warrior named Nosbren, und he and I made a most excellent team! We went into the den of ze trolls, und chopped so many of them up that my chopping arm was sore. Papa would be so proud!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nosbren is being a bachelor, who is also from ze mountains, like us. I mentioned to him that I have a sister named Migli who is an excellent cook, und he asked to meet you! So I think perhaps you may be having a suitor very soon. I am planning to ask him to dinner with us, und I will let you know what day to be expecting us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am keeping my promise, and dressing warmly, and eating often, and drinking plenty of beer. So please do not worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your faithful brother,<br>Figli<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is one of a few in-character World Of Warcraft blog posts I wrote in the early 2000s and posted to rp-haven.com.
