It had the same feel of a Hans Christian Anderson story.

Nevertheless, despite the "maudlin" appeal as Mouse so eloquently puts it, the message does bear some consideration. Is it better to live life safely and adequately, and eventually die forgotten, or better to reach beyond one's realm and go out in a blaze of glory?

For those of you who play BG2, isn't this the same question that Irenicus poses your character?

There are arguments for either side, clearly. For many people, the life of quiet and safety would be enough. For others, it's far from enough.

Good post, 250.
