t sabreur nods on the halfling/wanderer bit. and it is a bit of a stretch to try to stuff together the shadowthief theme and the halfling theme. really i see it as no more of a stretch than halfling priests though, and less of a stretch than halfling fighters. but it's silly to make a decision potentially affecting the whole mud based on what, really, one player wants.

This is a large room with polished wood floors. Rows of benches line the walls
on three sides. In the center of the room, a large table sits, with six chairs
behind it. A grand staircase creates the fourth wall. This is apparently
where the halflings gather to discuss matters of Shire importance.
There are seven obvious exits: north, east, south, west, northwest, up and
down.

Our resident Wanderer

Several of our secrets center around our resident wanderer. Unfortunately, like a few of our residents, she's a bit loony. Forgetful, even, or maybe she's just too distracted by tasks she's meant to complete or events replaying in her head.

Oh! You haven't found her hiding place. She IS in the Shire, but she's a bit fearful of places too public. My theory is that she was exploring the cave and managed to fall down a bit of a hole. If you're interested in finding her, you oughta have a bit of extra weight you can take, and go visit that jerk Waktai the Avenger. He keeps his pee in a "vase." I wish HE'd move out of Rhone, but noone's had the heart to kick him out.

Anyway, once you take care of his vase (gross), you can see the hole hiding behind it. You'll get cheered up a bit by the nifty glowy stone, and while that's not the thing you want to take with you, you might want to move it up a bit. Somewhere in there is a hella heavy bronze hand that you need to put on a certain statue in a certain cave if you want to meet a certain wanderer.

Once you replace the broken hand and fall through the trapdoor, you'll see a dirty dirty girl. This is the wanderer you've been searching for. Unfortunately, all she wants is shiny stuff. Fortunately, she doesn't collect mad amounts of pc, or anything even very rare. She likes the weirdest things. She likes a craptastic boring silver ring that a couple of folks have. One's a babysitter of sorts who lives in Hylar. Easier than that is to go beat up a bunch of gully dwarves and take their eating utensils. There are some in the museum in Pesvint, and a couple through a foggy patch off the path southeast of Hylar. For these things, she gives you some Giggleberry juice. Yummmm! But it's best used for things other than tasting... If you find the right gem, you'll impress the socks off of her. The right gem will help her realize how dedicated to the shire you are, and she'll give you a useful device (it's a pipe, an impresario's favorite smoking implement) for getting to Rhea quickly in case of a raid.

Uh, that's all for now.

Current Shire Leadership

Mayor: Niblet
Sheriff:
Impresario: Moco (new today)
Finder: Apexyen
Fisher:

Mayor directs shire activities, negotiating and preventing problems as needed. The figurehead of the shire.

Sheriff regulates behavior internally and delivers retribution. The mayor's right hand halfling also has access to the org leaders room through the orgportal exit at join room. The only other position with this exit is the mayor.

Impresario is in charge of all things related to parties. A bit negotiator and a bit entertainer, a good impresario must also know where to get decent party equipment. You better know where the kegs can be found, who has the best smokes, and where you can pick up the best party favors of all kinds.

Finder tends to run around on her own. While the impresario is BFFs with lots of the local shopowners from Rhone to Iapage, the Finder tends to acquire goods while browsing other players' inventories. I'm not saying the Finder is often a thief or a pirate, but really, they do tend to have a lot in common. A good finder can point you in the way of the black market. Occultists and psionists might make tolerable finders too.

The Master Fisher should be on the top ten list. It hasn't been hard to get on the list for a while. There's been less halfies, and less botters, so there aren't even ten on the list right now. The master fisher can tell you a handful of places to fish, and how to become a better fisher. Of course, the Master Fisher tends to exaggerate stories a bit, so you can't believe everything you hear. That's true with most halflings though, innit.

Unfortunately, you can only hold one position at a time.

History

I started playing because of a boy. I think he waited until we started dating before he fully exposed his nerdery. We didn't have a computer. We didn't have much of anything except a scantily furnished apartment and a growing fondness for each other. And some amazing friends. Anyway.

Since we didn't have a computer, we'd use the free computers at the library (which SUCKED because you only have like half an hour and no privacy because people are more likely to make sure you're not trying to look at porn). Better than the library were the university computer labs. We weren't students there, but we had ways. There were computers in the hall there, placed conveniently for students to check their email. We'd telnet in and have that lovely green text scroll by at dizzying speeds. Once, a family was touring the building, and the mom peered over my shoulder in amazement. "Oh wow! How do you type so fast?!!?" I think I might have sealed the deal for the University of _________ for that lady's kid. If the University had such amazing typers, it had to be a great school. Really, I was slightly embarrassed, and I muttered something about my personal email and how people shouldn't peer over people's emails.

Those were the early days when we telnetted from wherever we could. We felt a bit subversive. We also did all that mildly subversive real life stuff. Dumpster dove (although folks that do that know you don't exactly dive), flyering to expose corporate evils, leaving random bits of art in coffeeshops for people to find and get happy about.

Eventually we settled in, became a bit more domestic, and got zmud. Or maybe it's the other way around. Now, years later, we take long breaks from the Realms of the Dragons. Not a BAD thing ever, it's good to be connected with the earth and the sky and a book and other people. But when you've got a position you've been neglecting, that's not exactly admirable.
