Now, we've had lots of usurpers and wannabe's and all <glance Legs, Rolton>
No, its time for the New Order
We will now adopt Tartism...Yes, that is right Tartism.
Now hear me out...
Let their be 3 branches of government. The tart, the filling, and the sprinkles. Each branch shall have its own office.
The governmental branch shall be the sprinkles. Every 4 years their shall be a new sprinkle to take command. Their shall be two parties. The Demosprinkles and the Repusprinkles. These will compete, and the local hobbits of the town will vote for the one that tastes best.
The Judiciary branch shall be the filling. The filling will judge over the land, and rule wisely. The fillings will all be tested and tried, until the perfect filling for the job will come. This shall be the filling that judges over the town of Rivers Rest. When their is a problem, the filling shall judge
The Legislative Branch shall be the tarts. The tarts will all congregate in the Tart Shop to vote on new eating habbits, new manufacturing procedures, pass the law for new tarts to be made etc. These tarts will be split up into two parties. Again, the reputarts and the demotarts.
Then and only then will the fair land of Rivers Rest remain unplagued.
The 10 tart laws:
1. All tarts are created equally
2. Tarts must eb approved by the local taste tester hobbit (Me in this
instance)
3. Corupt Tarts (moldy, stale, and half-eaten) can not hold office
4. A tart tax shall be imposed by the head sprinkle. This tax can be altered
to the sprinkles liking. All tart taxes shall be collected by the local taste
tester hobbit (Again, me) to be decided where they are distributed.
5. When a disupte should enter the lands, the filling and only the filling
will be able to decide what is eaten and what is not
6. When in doubt, pay your taxes
7. Only important matters shall be taken to the sprinkles, tarts, and filling.
Again, see law 6
8. Once a tart has been corupt, it may be impeached by the sprinkle and the
filling, and vicea versa
9. A lawful abiding citizen will obey the tart rules
10. Failure to obey these laws may result in punishment depending on the
discretion of the the filling

Esserae said: Kennesaw makes some important points about the need for us to pay attention to our community, and they are especially important because we seem to be in the midst of our bimonthly growth spurt where suddenly there are dozens of new and visiting faces wandering through the Rest. I think the previous one was the result of the influx of wealthy warfarers; I can't imagine what's luring them here now, unless people just think Kennesaw is really hot.
Prata said: River's Rest is jammed full of odd little unfinished bits and unexplored nooks. We've been waiting for years to find out what's behind that pesky door near the well. I suspect when we finally get it open all we'll find will be the moldy bones of Aephir, and there will be Kennesaw and Gromial grinning and goggling like the illegitimate children of kings with their thumbs in their ears and fingers all a-wiggling and them saying "Wogga Wogga Wogga."
To them both I say: You are both my dear friends, and I hold you close in my heart.* With that in mind, I find it hard, though necessary to say something.** That something, most cherished friends is this.***
Seek professional help. Not later, not after a hunt or a Songfest. Seek it now.**** It can only do you good. I speak from experience. I adore you, but you're killing me.*****
Yours, Saddie
*Not so close as to allow you to stick a finger in a ventricle or something though.
**Please, no jokes about finding things hard, or my loquaciousness. I get that enough from Starwind.
***Not that, as some would believe. You really shouldn't listen to rumors.
****This does not involve searching repeatedly in the Sanctuary and pointing at people. Those people cannot help you. Trust me, if they could, they wouldn't be hiding themselves.
*****A reference to Esserae's troll song, or the few times I've hunted with Prata? Both ancient and modern scholars had opinions on this. Some thought it a reference to the time that Sadryne whapped off peoples arms so they could bump into one another. Others thought it just a reference to the Krolvin ship in general.

>>>I doubt Prata would like Pra'edas ;-) though I could be wrong...<<<
I've been among the pra'eda four times. The first time Zephina calmed me (or whatever that spell thing is). The second time Rayyne removed my leg...and cackled for hours. The third time I went there with Arwen on a rescue...and spent the entire time ducking and hiding, much to Arwen's amusement. The fourth time Shatazar poked a hole through my head.
Last year when several of us went to visit Aephir, our late admiral, at his odd workshop this is what happened:
Aephir just tickled you.
A pra'eda just arrived! A pra'eda just arrived! A pra'eda just arrived! A pra'eda just arrived!
Aephir just tickled you. Aephir says, "just for you..." Zephina laughs!
Did you see that? Zephina laughs. I hate pra'eda

One thing I hate are Manuver Attacks that will do a lot of damage and kill you one third of the time and knock you down and stun you and take half your hit points the other 2/3 (Minotaurs come to mind)
The kinds of Manuver Attacks I love are those that will kock you down or steal your weapon (<coughshanwarriorscough>.
Some good manuver attacks, IMO would be like:
A Shan Seductress slaps you in the mouth
....5 damage You lose the spell you were concentrating on
A Shan Esserae begins to sing 50 Troll Kings arrive!
(I had too...I'm sorry ;)
A Shan Overweight Sumowrestler jumps and lands on the ground
The ground beneath you shakes and you begin to fall down
A Shan Amu-net Merchant offers you a dagger for you weapon
You lose your weapon!
A Shan Hobbit begins to eat your tarts
You scream and fall in agony as you realize your tarts are being eaten!
A Shan Ugly shows it face!
You run Northwest, screaming!
Some bad manuver attacks, the kind I hate
A Shan Minotaur charges you
You're dead
A Shan Glacei hurls ice chunks at you
You're dead
A Shan Troll King talks to you
You're dead
A Shan Shan does its various spikethorns, boils, and all that
You're dead.
A Shan Emeraldwand steals your tarts
Hah! You're not dead
The kinds of Manuver attacks which I don't mind much are
A Shan Kaown-rolton bites your leg
....20 damage You fall down
Its not fatal, and it takes a few health from you, but you're still alive.
Some interesting things that should be added to manuver attacks...
A Shan Prata tries to step on your leg again
You deftly step out of the way and a Shan Prata falls on his face. You laugh
at it.
A Shan Juspera tries to tweak your nose
You catch her finger and flip her over you back...you laugh at her
Negative effects, in other words. Like the leap attacks that some critters have that when they miss makes them land on there back.
Of course, you have to have a chance to get away from all these Manuvers, and a good chance too
You know, I probably contradicted myself somewhere over there, oh well. <grin>

One time I was eating a sandwich, and it began to dance. Now normally, that would not have been a problem, I would have eaten it anyway. But it was one of those, you know, um... hip swaying naked dances. Now I couldn't very well go an insult the sandwich by eating it, and I couldn't very well just leave it there, as it really wasn't very good at the dance. In fact, it was disturbingly bad at it. Probably because it had no hips. Anyway, I thought for a bit, making noncommital replies to the sandwich's inquiries about whether I liked the dance, and then I figured out what I had to do. While the sandwich would certainly be insulted if I ate it, it would have no reason to be offended if I simply ripped a hole in the essence and sucked it into another dimension, right? So I cast Implosion, and sure enough, the sandwich went flying into the void. For safety's sake, I sealed up the void. Unfortunately, my quick thinking in trying not to hurt the sandwich's feelings had failed to take into account the umbrage the constable might take. I spent the next three weeks in Icemule, till a singing apple popover scared me back to the landing. And that's why I was naked that day when I jumped out of the treehouse and landed on a cave gnome down in the well. And let me tell you, it sure is hard to remove a gnome from your abdomen.
