However it happened, I got off easy living in the slums for most of my years instead of being six feet under. Not that it matters...

An end to bloody sabbaths and a stop to the renaissance of the Dark Ages. May he rot in hell.

[ for someone who is all about second chances gam also seem to hold grudges. they shake their head ]
I'd say the sword is pretty good, as far as these trinket gifts go.
