    "I wanted to know what hell is about."
    He has blue eyes set in a knot of wrinkles.
    "So I changed my appearance into one of those chaos
    creatures and joined them."
    His face disappears in shadow.
              -Glemantrious "The Glamour Trip"

	I knew this reptile man who carried a broadsword in each hand and used them 
well.  He went into the pits of hell and stepped on a trap door.  One that 
opened and dropped him a hundred meters to his death.  The rest of his team 
had to go on without him.
	I knew one man who got killed crossing the street.  He had a wounded friend 
and was going to the healer to buy some salve.  Ruffians wanted his money 
pouch and he resisted.  His stripped body was picked up by the body cart in 
the morning.
	I knew this Elf that didnt make it a hundred meters off the boat before he 
died.  On entering the city he refused to give up his bow to the town guard. 
 The archers on the walls shot him down.  His tombstone was engraved 
"resisting the guard." Sometimes they die so quickly one cant remember 
their name.

	One guy who lived was called Blane.  An Elf he went barefoot, wore a loin 
cloth and carried nothing but a crowbar.  Sometimes the most surprising 
characters do well.  He would charge in and wrestle creatures to the ground. 
 Holding them there so his friends could finish them off.  And he was real 
useful when a door needed to be opened.
	I remember the day he appeared on the scene.  He was part of a team making 
a foray into the pits.  They encountered a platoon of chaos creatures in a 
tunnel.  He through his crowbar into the crowd at head level.  The big iron 
thing missed six people before striking the seventh in the head and knocking 
him dead.  The other members started calling him Blane Brain Basher after 
that.
	After a long string of success he decided to buy a magic item.  Unlike 
everyone else he didnt get a souped up weapon, or some kind of enhanced 
defense.  He bought a glamour.  A pair of suspenders that made him look like 
a big two meter tall infant.  And started chewing on a cigar. It was quite 
disarming to his enemies.  Even the chaos creatures werent quite sure what 
to make of this giant infant.  It got him the initiative more than once.  
After that everyone started calling him Baby Blane Brain Basher.  A name 
that is still remembered.
