In Topic: Edwin Romance is here!

01 June 2003 - 03:36 AM

Welcome to Edwin Romance mod forum! The mod was in the work for some time but we finally decided to come out in the open with it! You are welcome to express your opinion on the project in this new forum.

Just to give you a taste of the Romance here is a quote from one of Edwin's possible new epilogues:

"It was during this uncharacteristically soul-searching period of his life that Edwin encountered Elminster the Sage once more. Having always despised the elderly wizard's smug and condescending attitude, Edwin spared no time in aggravating him. Innocent bystanders later quoted him as having said: 'Well, at least *I* gained my powers through the efforts of my unsurpassed mind, and not through being the pleasure-boy of the Goddess of Magic. (And I hear he was quite unsatisfactory as well. Probably that ridiculous hat is some crude form of compensation.)'

Elminster's retaliation would no doubt have been both cruel and sadistic, if he had had the time to get a spell off. What he hadn't counted on was Edwin's use of a spell trigger, and not just any old spell trigger, but the most rare and feared summoning spell of all, the dreaded Cow Kill.

It seems that not even the pampered Chosen of Mystra are entirely immune to the effects of having a very large cow dropped on top of their head from a very great height. Though it failed to kill him, it knocked Elminster out cold for several days, and he never could look upon a cow again without twitching nervously. Before leaving, Edwin is also said to have done something incredibly nasty involving Elminster's famous pointy hat. The details are perhaps better left unspoken, though since then Elminster seems to have exchanged his once favorite headgear for a soft and floppy woolen cap. "

Laufey: Hey, I thought I'd just drop in and wish you the best of luck with the mod. :) I may be a male, but as soon as this is completed, I'm going to start a female character and play it through...just to see Edwin getting all romantic! :) I must admit that I find it difficult to imagine Edwin being in love with anyone apart from himself, but I've read the dislogues you posted in the Attic and I can see that it makes sense. Not to mention that you and Silver both make it work well in your Edwin romance stories. Looking forward to the completed mod! :)
