ORVIL TRAPJUMPER
Gender: M
Kender Age: 27
Motto: "Help those who need it, unless there's something more interesting to do."

Description Hullo. I guess you want to know more about me. Well, lets see. I'm a little shy of four feet (I know, I'm short) and am slightly thin. My hair is brown, and my eyes also. My skin is light and slightly tanned (only because I don't get out much anymore) but, that will change if I get to go.

About Orvil Trapjumper: I was born to Kazelhoff & Bellhopper Trapjumper in the great city of Hylo. We lived there until my fifth birthday, when we moved to Palanthas. I was about seven when I met my first cleric of Mishakal. From that day, I knew I wanted to be a cleric. His name was Eric Mandon. He was sooo nice. He gave me candy and walked me home. That night, my dad somehow got tangled up in with some drunken dwarves. A very nice human named Orvil Steelhelm tried to save him, but died trying. My parents were also killed. The next day, Eric found me in an alley and took me to the Temple. In honor of my parent's protector, I took on his name. I also began to learn my priestly craft. My life has been spent wandering across Ansalon, helping those in need. I have been many places, such as Kendermore, Flotsam, and the Minotaur Isles. Then I saw this notice, and decided the Desolation sounded fun. So, do I get the part?

What would be so fun about trekking across the Desolation?
To help the others and explore somewhere I've never been of course! =P

WEEK 1 CHALLENGE QUESTION: You have all been drawn to the town of Port Balifor. News you have received through kender gossip has been that a call has gone out for true kender to come to Port Balifor for a mission of great importance.

As you arrive in the run down town of Port Balifor you are approached by Harlowe Barstool, the afflicted kender sheriff of the town. "Hey there, if you're going to be wandering through Port Balifor I'm gonna have to ask you a few questions. I don't need any trouble here with the Dark Knights or anything and you need to stay away from the locals or they tend to get fussy. Anyway answer me these questions before you can continue. If I don't like what you have to say I'm gonna give you a tour of our underground jail."
1. What is your name?
2. What is your quest?
3. What is you're favorite color?
4. What is the weirdest thing you have ever seen?
5. How many fingers am I holding up?
6. If a Dark Knight were to grab you and shake you upside down until your face turned as red as a dwarf's nose what would you do?
7. Do you have any candy in your pouches?

Orvil lookes at the sherrif apraisingly. He holds out his hand as he states, "I'm Orvil Trapjumper of Palanthas. Who are you?" harlowe looks angrily at Orvil, who quickly moves on. "I have no particular quest right now, except for answering the summons, which it seems others have as well, but other than that I'm not really doing anything. My favorite color is...white I guess...no, it's clue...no, green...well, it could be red, but that's kinda odd to have a good cleric with red as a favorite color. I guess I really have no real favorite color, but I do lean towards blue or white."

"You know, that reminds me of the time I went to the Minotaur Isles. They are soooooo wierd. They had all these ritualistic battles and stuff. It got really bloody, and I got kinda bored, so I went over to talk to this preist looking guy..uh bull, and he told me I wasn't supposed to be there. So then they started to chase me. Always one to play the crowd, I challenged the priest to a battle. It looked kinda fun."

"So then they all started to laugh. I got a little miffed when he told me I wasn't really a challenge and it would disgrace him to fight me. So I called him a stupid cow and hit him with my hoopak. He got mad at that and tried to hit me with his battle axe. But I jumped out of the way and hit him in the butt and he fell on his face. He didn't like that much. He got up and said he was going to strangle me, but before he could I hit him in the head with a rock and he fell again. Minotaurs really don't have all that good balance, do they? It reminds me of the time uncle Tas was..." Harlowe glares at him, "uh...anyway..."

"You are holding up one finger," he states blankly. Harlowe looks at him questioningly.

"Your hand. It has one finger up and you asked. I was just being helpful. Anyway...being shaken upside down by a Dark Knight
sounds pretty fun. I would probably laugh until it got boring, then find something else to do."

"But what if the Knights don't let you go?"

"Well, then I'd just ask them to stop. I can't believe anyone wouldn't stop if you asked them. Unless they're evil. Wait, they are, aren't they? That's an interesting question. I don't really know. I'd probably run away before thay could get me, so I wouldn't be shaken in the first place."

"And for your last question, I do have some. Would you like a piece?" holds out some candy.

"Of course!" Harlowe smiles and takes the proffered sweets, "You know, that's very nice of you..." And they prattle away for a long time...
