Ah, yes, RudeDawg!

You see, "Smitty" is a holdover from one of Bradley's other games. He was one of the NPC's in Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge (1990). That was the last of the Wizardry games to be set in the fantasy realm of Llylgamyn, in which the party of adventurers was chasing down a mystic pen that had the power to alter the reality of the universe to whatever you wrote with it. Except that whatever you wrote with it, would come back upon you as a bane, and that curse would last for 120 years.

Recognizing Smitty from the Wizardry game, I incorporated that into my storyline...also had Sylvia, my priestess, hailing from the lost city of Llylgamyn. Sort of a "nod of the head" in tribute to Wizardry, which was truly the background from which Wizards & Warriors came.

I'm spinning some added elements into the storyline, but the main details hold true to the gaming environment.

Thanks for asking!
