Arrgh!
*A well-built minoutaur walks through the door. His stance is weary, yet wary. His eyes has a fervent gleam to them, and he has a slight limp as he approaches the bar*
Hey, 'keep, a pint, please.
*Takes a seat and turnes to the bartender*
Argh, 'keep, I tell ya, my story is a long and sad one, and not for the faint of heart. Are you sure you're up for it?
*wait's patiently for bartenders reply*

Hey Kuma ...I need something to wipe out my memory of the last few hours. If you haven't got akavit, tequila will do. In a bucket, please ....with a straw.

'Tolkien sucks', 'Humans are boring', 'I know everything about ...', 'they must include my ideas', a page and a half of Mortal Kombat crud that morphed into a Pokemon discussion, towns and spells and creatures, OH MY!!!!!

The windmills have just gotten bigger is all ...
LOL .... and the archives are the biggest windmill yet. But I'll lick 'em, just you wait and see.
Sometimes you find some ideas that have fallen by the wayside, and there's a feeling of discovery there. (Anybody remember 'Trench Warfare'?) Sometimes, you want to just delete every freaking thread on a page because of some of the BS. But mostly, it's just a process of opening, reading, and filing. When it's all done, I'll be in the weird position of having read every single post on the Altar. I don't think anybody else will be in a position to claim that dubious honor LOL 
Now, if you'll excuse me :: grabbing a chainsaw:: I think one of the Dendroids is dealing off the bottom of the deck... Hold on thar, you miserable son of a birch!!

All right, here it goes:
A time of darkness has descended upon our race, and the timespan grows between each encounter with one of my own.
Although our origin is dark and bloody, some minotaurs turned later to the light, and tried to lead lives that would somehow, somewhen, redeem our original sin.
And with time, the strong, proud and adaptable minotaurs grew many, and so were divided into clans.
I am the last member of the once so proud Clear Water Mountain Clan. It was we who guarded the mountain springs, ensuring drinkable water for this part of the world. We roamed the mountainside, fighting an unheralded war to preserve our most basic and (still much too under)valued nature resource.
But as all minotaurs know, I reached my "age of exploring", the period in every minotaurs life where he, for couple of years or so, severs the bond with his clan to travel the world, and learn it's ways and wonders. After this, they can chose whether they want to return to the clan (have to be re-initiated, a lenghty and solemn ritual in which the minotaur in question has to answer a chain of questions regarding morale, ethics, dedication etc., whereupon a physical and psychological trial has to be completed, all to ensure the worthyness of each minotaur), or do otherwise with their lives. A very few wishes to stay apart from their clan, for various reasons, and another few fail to complete the initiation ritual, and as a result, minotaur mercenaries are not unheard of (and highly sought-after), but a vast majority return to their clans to perform their duties.
Upon returning from my "age of exploring", I was confused, shocked, engrieved and enraged. I expected a welcome commity on my arrival, and when I found none, was thoroughly confused. I racked my brains for the reasons my clan could have for not showing, and the two I could come up with seemed highly unlikely: That the entire clan had been mobilized in a war effort, if which was the case I could not imagine avoiding hearing mention of; the other that I had disgraced the clan and thereby banned myself, which I found very hard to believe. Sure, I had bruised a couple of faces and dented my share of armors, but certainly nothing to even come close to banning.
I camped at the arrival site for a few days, wringing my wits and contemplating other possible sources of my clan's absence, but when I could find none, I ventured higher up in the mountains, covering as much ground as I could each day, every now and then uttering howls and listening for replies. But all I heard were my own howls, echoing back and forth between the mountains. On my sixth day of search, I discovered the first body. It was Amund, my senior by four years, who had trained me in axefighting and been a good friend. The strange thing was that there were no exterior signs to inplicate the cause of death, and his tragic departure was a mystery to me. Still, I wept for him, and gave him a Clear Water burial.
In the following days, I found more and more dead minotaurs. My father, his father, my mother, my entire family, as well as every other minotaur of Clear Water Mountain Clan. I was the only one left. For weeks on end, I did nothing but bury friends and famliy and wailing for them. When the last was buried, onehundredandseventytwo in all, I collapsed on the ground, devastated and exhausted.
I awoke days later, my body screaming for food and water. I then decided to seek the neighboring clan, the Blue Sky Mountain Clan, only to find them eradicated. Later, I learned this was the cruel fate of all the minotaur clans.
So now I hunt. All that drives me is the thought of vengeance. That, and the faint hope that the Clear Water Mountain Clan will one day be restored. So if you would, my good man, *adressing Kuma*, spread the word to any minotaur who visits this place.

well, if you buy me a drink, I'll let you in on the secret...
go to your profile, and change your 'Custom Status' ...
Hey Kuma, a short beer for me ..on Lord_Echo's tab
And while we're waiting, I figured I'd bring in some free entertainment (since Pleuris hasn't been in a while). Out of my outrageous janitor's salary, I've hired the great wizard Smile-o-fax to show us his wonderous talents ...take it away, Smile-o-fax!!!
ok ..so he wasn't that great ..but he WAS entertaining LOL
