People suck at English, particularly at spelling long ir complicated words. Some people just sound out everything, which is why they spell everything wrong, because English carries a ton of loan words that aren't phonetically spelled.

In short, people are too lazy to spell check, and English is a convoluted mess.

And sometimes they fail at words that aren't long or complicated!
and I know that was probably just a typo :p

I'm suddenly sad that nobody lets me punch people anymore.

Amateur Boxing. Punch people for fun and profit!

That bishop needs to go doooown.

Look on the bright side! If he's blasting you, he's not healing bad guys!

Gordon sold his half-used Heal staff and bought a new one. He didn't bother with introductions; if what the violent young woman (and why was it always young people?) said was even half-true, they'd be meeting soon enough anyway - probably while he was treating her injuries.

Hrmmm. That's a tough one and I have work to do, so I'll revisit this topic later.

Okay.

Ursa is a definite "no". He's big and strong, sure, but he's also violent, has trouble with language, had a pretty crappy life that would get you your own documentary nowadays, and is a raging bigot.

Grifen has her own problems, not least of which is being permanently disabled and having a crippling phobia. On the other hand, she didn't have many family issues, is smart enough to practice (herbal) medicine, and she's likable.

Gordon is an old cranky bastard - not exactly what I hope to be. He also lost his wife very early in their marriage and has spent decades in a semi-suicidal haze because of it. No thank you!

Gregor has earned the respect of his friends, met and married a wonderful (to him) girl, and bravely fights for what he believes is right. A bit of a Stu, but it would be hard to argue against living in his shoes. The biggest downside is that his family is now dead.

Jasmine I don't have much of a personality or backstory figured out yet, so she's a bit of a blank slate. Still, she's steampunky and enjoys tinkering with stuff so that could be fun I guess.

I guess I would go with Gregor or Jasmine as first/second choice, and Grifen for third. The other two are a little dysfunctional for me

Hrmmm. That's a tough one and I have work to do, so I'll revisit this topic later.

: "Minor injuries only, already healed. I'm afraid I got a wee bit overconfident back there."

Sophie walks up to Gordon.
:"Please heal me? I'm not sick anymore, but I still feel terrible..."

Gordon does so.

"Do you think he really will return?"

: "Were it not for all that talk about necromancers I would have said no. Now? Who can say?"

"Thanks, Gramps. Sorry for being in a rush all the time."

: "Don't mention it. Just try ta be a little more careful in the future; I have me hands full with Garret as it is."
