Off Topic: Sythe I think you need to bring the size of your sig down a bit. If I remember correctly the max allowed size is much smaller than that. I could be wrong, but it's just a thought.

In my own recent experiments I left all my armaments on the ground had my mage friend cast friendship on me and proceeded to walk calmly toward a band of Kobolds my mage friend decided for his own safety and mine to cast invisibility on himself and remain downwind. No sooner had the kobolds spotted me than they opted to open fire. It was all I could manage not too take an arrow straight through the cranium. My friend the mage fortunately cast the hold spell on them giving me the opportunity to escape. I opted not to kill this group. Will this act of non-violence mellow them? or will they assume that humans have become more careless and weaker. We shall see. But the kobolds clearly have no qualms about firing on unarmed passers-by. If they open fire feel free to dispose of the wretched devils. If they are inclined to let you pass unmolested than kindly do the same for them. It works in theory, but they unerringly assault any human passers by. My informants have gathered information on our dear Mr. Sythe here, evidence that Sythe has managed to create a shapeshifting spell that turns him into a kobold form for as long as he pleases. No wonder he can come so close to them without being assaulted. They have also informed me that the above copies of conversation with Sythe and Ko are in fact either falsified documents or mere speculation as to what "could possibly" happen, and are not definitively true.

Off Topic: P.S. Sythe I love the sig.

The still absent chairman has to agree with Firestormaplha. As stated in the ToS:

Quote:

UPDATED: Be Sig Smart: The larger your image in your sig, the longer it takes for others to load it. Don't forget, MANY people still use dial-up internet, and huge images take a LONG time to download. we allow the following as per signatures:

http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...ample_size.jpg


We allow up to 2 Images in your sig. But, we prefer you use 1 or combine the 2 into one image. If you use 1 image in your signature, you are allowed the image resolution to be 225x155, and no more than 150Kb in size. This NEW Size will take effect on January 27th 2002. Anyone before that time will still be allowed to keep their slightly larger sig.

If you wish to use 2 images, both images must be no larger than 280x220 combined in resolution, and 150Kb in size as well. Your text sig or 'tagline' must not exceed 300 characters as well.

If you do not follow these rules, your profile may be edited, your image removed and account profile locked out to modification.

I see. Your informants have misinformed you. I am nay a druid. If I were such then I would not be defending our soon to be friends because I would fear of disrupting the "balance". But your informants are partly correct. My mage friend cast a spell of polymorph on me into a kobold. Then I met Ko after we became good friends I revealed my true identity. It took Ko and his new found tribe to accept me. I admit that kobolds are not perfect. I know that they do threaten innocent passers. When I say about their fear I am not really justifying for what they have done. Tactics into negotiating peace would be long. It would take many years. Without my companion Ko I would not be able to rally up the other kobold tribes. I always send Ko onto another tribes territory. Eventually the tribe would accept Ko and know that he can be trusted and then he would introduce me. It take a long while for a tribe to accept for who I am. With my already high Charisma I can convince them to trust me.

This tactic almost always works. Some of the tribes I have encounterd had a strong hatred for us that it's unbelievable.

The interview I had with Ko is not false. I actually did have a conversaiton with him. You can cast a spell that tells if I lie or not. If it says that lies it's only because you believe that Human beings cannot speak with kobolds.

UPDATE ON ENCAMPMENT
I am spending more gold on building small schools where Kobold children can learn. I personally will be the teacher and teach them how to learn and write and speak our tounge.

[img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img] Since when did I became part of the council defending kobolds? Am I really that good? Hm I guess my teachers are right then I do have potential [img]graemlins/givingspeech.gif[/img]

Schools for kobolds? Hmm... the word "bombing" comes to mind...
:D
[img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img] I have noticed that Mr. Baggins, Lord Brass, Keropism (sp???) and Leggy have vanished. Does anyone know where they have gone?

Even more [img]graemlins/offtopic.gif[/img] Who was your receptionist Mr. Leggy?

Dragonshadow have you ever heard of a kobold having more than 30 thousand gold pieces from his adventuring days. Do you think a kobold can buy a small home in Baldurs Gate. No you haven't. If I was a kobold attempting to accomplish such a thing (s)he would be shunned at every turn. So the answer to your question Dragonshadow is no.

Nice pair of scimitars you got there Sythe
Yeah I have nice scmitars don't I [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] Picked em up from a drow who was strangely with a dwarf a huge barbaric man and a woman. Took em while sleeping I did.

Also anybody having any intention of attacking the camp would deal with these scmitars of mine :D

What gave you the idea that I was a kobold Dragonshadow? I know that I defend kobolds with all my heart but there has to be more reason to it.
</font>[/QUOTE]Is this proof that Sythe is evil? He has stolen Drizzt Do'urden's scimitars, we can see this because he was with Cattie-Brie, Bruenor and Wulgar at the time. Funny Regis was not about but this proves his evil intentions, it also suggests that we should keep close contact on Sythe.

InsaneBane 06-11-2003 11:53 AM

Until now I have encountered 2310 evil kobolds (attacked me on sight) and one non-evil kobold.

How I keep track? Easy: I collect an ear after each 'duel' [img]smile.gif[/img]

[img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img]
Insane

BTW: Larry (or was it Darryl) still got both his ears [img]smile.gif[/img]

Sythe 06-11-2003 03:15 PM

I am not evil my friends. About five years ago I was still adventuring I was a well accomplished thief in Calisman. I sought to leave the city and head to Neverwinter. Along the way I saw Drizzt Do'Urden and the rest of his fellows. As you already know elves cannot sleep the go in a kind of trance. I used potions and equpped armor and boots to allow me to sneak very quietly. Not even the Drow could hear me as I slowly took his belt holding his scmimitars next to him. I saw this panther figurine I was about to steal that too but I saw dawn fast approaching. I left and saw a halfling I suppose he was supposed to keep watch and went away to have a leak I suppose.

But that was then and this is now I am now much diffrent than before. After my adventures I had a fortune of gold, retired and now living out the days I have left.

Probably one of those vile concoctions alchemists of less than perfect repute tend to sell. Oils of Fiery Burning they are called if my recollections are accurate.

Ever since the KAK sprung into existence there have been a roaring trade in these dangerous liquids. Makes one shudder, it true does.
