Dont even know why I decided to reply....
But to the comment that reducing our charectors to numbers detracts from the fun of the game... Personaly I rather like numbers, and manipulating numbers in an equation (e.g. the equation of witch the sum total equals what NWN sees as youre char) to best suit how I like to enjoy my gaming experience, within the rules of the server of course. But I get some strange sence of satisfaction from tweaking everything I can reasonably tweak to achieve this goal.
For me this is the Yin the my roleplaying Yang, so to speak...

WellI am pleased to write that my studies and diligent note taking have paid off. Just as I suspected the wandering man found me again, and put me to the test. Having recently studied on the subject, and having the notes at hand I was able to pass flawlessly, answering each question with ease.
The man seemed satisfied, and told me I would be a worthy acolyte of the church. I was given a book to record all of the wisdom that I have found, and shall find, and instruction to report to the temple of Aragen in Casterly Castle.
With all of this comes a certain responsibility, and I shall strive to live up to this responsibility in every detail. I shall enlighten the unenlightened, record the unknown, and discover new wisdomin the name ofmy Lord, and for the greater good of society.

Some interesting events to note.....
It seems all my conversations withing the walls of Aragens temple have not fallen on deaf ears. I have spent many hours sitting in its study, speaking with fellow adventurers about my plans, and all this time I was thinking the temple clergy was simply ignoring me.
Quite the contrary it seems as of late. Twice in my travels lately aman dressed in light brown robve, with blue trim, and walking with a very plain staff. He seemed to have casualy stumbled upon our group the in our first encounter, just outside the mine in Haven. His speach was very peculiar, seemed to be telling a riddle. He asked to no one in particular, though the party told me afterward that he was directing the question to me, "What are three things thatconcern you? Three dominions, three domains. Answer when you are ready"
I was rather stumped standing there with the whole party wondering if it were three things that concerned me, three things that concerned the party, or three things that concern livigkind as a whole. I could not put together a satisfactory answer, nor could the group, so he just smiled and wandered of past us like he had never stopped.
Everyone there seemed to think this man was talking to me. So after our adventure was wrapped up I decided to go to my favorate place to think about anything, the Great Library. I decided that he must have been talking to me, so I had to find "three things, three dominions, three domains" that concerned me. Quickly it came to me the troubles I had gaining information about the Aragenite bearers, and how I had lamented this fact in the very temple itself. It occured to me that the riddle must have been a test of sorts, dissapointed though I was that I had failed in the moment, I was determined to find the right answer, and I was in the perfect place for it.
It took me a while to find it at first, but franticly researching shelves having gone through them all once already -rather frustrated at this point- I noticed the large tome with "The Lord of Knowledge" imprinted on the cover sitting out on a desk, obiosly having recently been used. Very relieved to have found exactly what I was looking for in such a large library I sat comfortably on the floor and began to read. There was so much to read that i knew I would not remember it all, so I took diligent notes, and sumarized the key points as best I could to have for reference. And when I was just about through I noticed that the last page in the tome was stuck to the rear cover at the corner with a tiny bit dried fruit filling, probably from a pie. Carefully seperating the page I found exactly what I was looking for on the back side of the last page. "Clerics of Aragen alwayshas Knowledge as one of their domains, so a cleric of Aragen couldchoose either Knowledge and Protection or Knowledge and Travel." Meening that the three domains of concern for an aragenite are Knowledge, Protection, and Travel.Feeling satisfied that I had answered the question I decided it was time to return to my current occupation as sand collecting and glass making.
Severly overloaded, and with my oxe fully loaded with sand I staggered my way back to Hlint from the Gulf of Bagira when again the same man dressed in light brown and blue, supporting himself rather noticable with his staff stumbled into me again. He seemed to offer a sugjestion for such laborious trips, a walking staff. Instantly I thought back to the passage in Aragens book "The favored “weapon” of Aragen’s clerics is the humble quarterstaff or a mage’s staff. Only rarely is a staff used as a weapon, however, as it is usually used as a walking stick when the Aragenite travels to new places to gather information." Dissapointed again I realized I had just failed another test, and making it even worse I remembered I had just the perfect walking stick, exept I left it at the bank. Again the monk strolled off like we had never even met.
On the walk home I though alot about the man I had just seen. And after a good deal of reflection I remembered where I had seen him before. A long time ago, in my travels with Xial Lin a man looking exactly the same I had just encountered had stumbled upon us, so many years ago, in exactly the same fashion. At that time I completely recognized that the man was addressing Xiao, but it was obvious that just like me Xiao did not recognize that the encounter was directed at him, and seemed surprised to hear that I thought so.
All of this comeing together so quickly, and realizing that I was being constantly observed, probably for possibly eligibilty for some position within the church. So I have made a decision that I will no longer fail these tests, for it is crucialy nececary for my ultimate goal....

I have been playing a deep gnome, Cideous, for a couple years now, I had a massive leave of absence, but im sure there are old players who remmber me...
Due to his history with a crazy mage molding, and changing the way his brain works in order to have the perfect labratory assitant he has become very distant from his standard gnomish brothers, being a deep gnome doesnt help either. He is usualy quite reserved, and will rarely push anyone to do anything, even if he knows its waht needs to be done.
Becuase of his backround he would probably end up being an extreamly successfull inventor, though thats just not what he is interested in, and it would likely deredge up some bad memories.
He asks alot of questions (being a monk of aragen) and accualy speaks relativly slowly. He is very deliberate in his conversation and will usualy say quite a bit more than is needed to articulate his views, he likes to use an example whenever possible to illistare his point.
In every conflict, no matter what sized, wheather dealing with red light goblins or balors, his approach is the same. He trys to find every tid bit of imformation he can, to gain an understanding of what the root cause of the conflict is. And then he trys to use very simple common sence to find a solution. He trys to avoid a solution by force, for even if succesfull, something corrected by force usually does not stay corrected for very long (eg. the exile of Sinthar Bloodstone) He usualy willl try to find a path of mutual understanding, so that all parties involved are satisfied with the outcome, for this is the only way for the solution to last. If any feel like they have been forced into their position against their will, they will slowly plot their revenge, and soon the conflict will arise anew. This is something he has learned through a great many years of observation and research.
Something I dont often roleplay as well as I should..... this ugly little thing has a charisma score of 6 I think, maybe 5 ill have to check again. As such every person I ever encounter should not only have reason to hate me becuase I am an underdark race, but I am also so physicaly repulsing, that the mere sight of my hideous form causes those of low fortitude to immediatly vomit. You cant right click on my avatar and see that my charisma is that low so it would be impossible for others to just recognize my uglyness. So its something ill just have to RP creativly in-game. Needless to say I dont make friends easily, but the friends I do have share a very strong bond (even though those friends are now all lvl 20+ and Ide feel like a powergamer runnin around with em, heh)
Being a monk of aragen he will usualy roleplay his way into any party, being that his presence is absoutly essential to the proper documentation, and recording of the events that are to take place. Though he will usualy keeps his malodorous cloak at home, and leave naught a spec of skin uncovered when he joins a new group.
Am I still typing...? Someone should realy smack me upside the head while im posting casue I just rant and rant and rant and rant and.................yeh then I rant somemore

I would have to kindly disagree on youre causes for flatfootedness, not that any of them are wrong, but there are a few more ppl should be aware of, maybe it goes under the "otherwise disabled" category...
Obviously if youre currently looting a corpse i.e you have clicked on the corpse you have youre inventory open to that corpse, you are otherwise disabled.
There is an odd one, that me and Xiao Lin found out about a while ago, when using flurry of blows with the dodge feat. There are a few different circumstances I have had it occure under, but the nost consistant is this: Fighting against two or more enemies, you kill one of the enimies you attempt a dodge and the dodge misses, and instead of continuing with attacking youre flurry of blows automaticly deactivates itself and you just stand there flatfooted, with my monk I would go from an armor class of around 35 to an armor class of 18 when flatfooted, witch realy succed when the circumstances were like, six enimies, becuase you pretty much die in about two rounds, ucky. It also seems to happen ever more commonly when you are fighting with someone else, and when you kill an opponent and the text above youre head says cleave "hit", and just before the actualy graffic of youre cleave hitting and the damage actualy showing up you allie kills that enemy, and again all of a sudden youre flurry of blows auto deactivates and you just stand there flatfooted.
Now there is a way to save youreself, but you just have to be realy quick on the draw, when you notice the circumstance is about to happen you imediatly give a command through youre mouse to attack another enimy that close enough that you will hit them and not get the "cannot reach target" response. Cue it a couple times too, becuase it seems when the instance occurs it clears all cues, including youre current cue to be fighting that enemy, I dont know if that is the root of the problem, but its my guess.... So you just have to on top of things and make sure you dont stop watching you char while it is surounded by enemies, and you will usualy be okay, but I still get random times where even through all my efforts I end up standing there flatfooted for a round for no reason, and the random monster rolls a 4 for an attack roll and hits me - the worst acctualy is when the random monster doesnt have enough attack bonus to hit you, so it will only ever hit you with a crit strike, and he manages to pull a crit strike in that moment of flatfootedness, then pulls another one as soon as you recover, and youre left with half youre hp gone going that realy sucked.
Anyway its late and im tired so of course I typed about a page more than I probably had too....sorry

Second Entry- Apreal 1, 1408
My journey back to Hlint from Casterly Castle and the temple of Aragen there,proved to be quite eventfull. Walking away from the port of Valensk the sea sir filled my nose and prvoed to quite a pleasent distraction from the smell of myself. I walked as far as the outskirts of the forst when a new smell again invaded my nose. But this wasnt me I was smelling, it was entirely different, and yet farmiliar. As I traveled south towards Hlint I noticed a scene of grave destruction just of the road. I walked closer to investigate, and It proved to be the source of the foerll smell I had recognized. A groutesque scene was splayed out acrost the grassy hills. There was a wood carrage of some sort, the only sign of it being so was a wheel attached to what appeared to be a horse drawn carrage. There was a chared bloodstain where the horse would have been, and half of the carrage was completely destroyed. Not far from the carrage itself was what appeared to be a human body, though race was difficult to discern from the state of the dismemberment. Upon quick examinations of the wounds, and puting together where I knew the smell from, I knew what had done this. It had to be a Balor. I investigated past the scene just into the outskirts of the anajari swamp, and found more of the same dismembermant, obviously indicating the source.
And so who do I tell about such things? Well I completed my journy back to Hlint and found Ozymandias up to his usual wakieness, and decided to ask him about it. Just as I was about to aproach him a woman named Brisbane adressed ozy, and seemed very adamant about finding an imp, with him. I tried to ask Ozy quicking and he was quite blunt with me, saying if it wasnt quick it would have to wait. In order to get his attention I used the old "Ohh nevermind, yo probably dont know anything about it anyway, i dont need to waste youre time" Witch forced him to listen to me. His answer was very quick, and just as vague. He said it had something to do with the Seeds of Change, and then he was gone like a flash.
I quickly remembered where I had heard Seeds of Change before. Upon joining a party to travel to Rholdem, and hopefully Tibum, for I wish to travel to the Temple there, there was another woman who said something very quickly about the seeds, just explaining to someone where she had been the previos day, not very detailed. But just as I was pondering what to do next I saw that same woman, her name was Rhynn, I remembered. She just happened to be stroling through hlint so I decided to tell her all I knew. Ahe then preceeded to tell me that she was desperatly seeking knowlade about the subject of the seeds, and that indeed a Balors precense was very important to her. She asked me to make a deal mith her. She would tell me all she knew about the Seeds of Chnage, If I would become a friend of Brisbane -whom Rhynn thought hated her- and get her to tell me as much as I could get about the Seeds of Change, and the child born of the forest. I agreed to this, and Rhynn seemed to not have realized the importance of what I had told her about the Balor. I told her that as soon as I told Ozy about where I sighted him he told Brisbane they were heading south (witch would be the direction of travel to get to Valensk, on the southernmost tip of Mistone) At that moment she realized her opportunity. That if she helped me get to the Balor before Ozy and Brisbane did, then Brisbane would absolutely have to let her in on all of the goings on. So we made haste to the swamps, but we had a plan of going north and sailing into valensk as to make sure we never encountered them on the way, I had a gut feeling that Ozy wasnt going to go directly to where I told him the attack site was and so we may have a window of opportunity to beat him to the source of the Balor. We were so very close, and managed to get to the crypt of the ancient lych just before Brisbane, but just by happenstance, they walked through the door just a moment after us, and in doing so we all bumped into eachother. There was a tense moment of silence, and then everyone agreed to work together to achieve their goal.
Our first obstacle was a Death Slaad that blocked the route to a mysterious portal. We decided to wait until it walked away, and eventualy it worked, and we were able to walk right over to the portal. Rhynn and Brisbane did all they could to study the portal, and found that it was a gate from the Abyss, and that the crature that had used the gate had come through it to the dungeon, but had not yet returned. So we decided to just sit there and wait, because eventualy it would have to use the same gate to return to the Abyss. So we sat and we waited, and waited, and eventualy the death Slaad came back. Contrary to our previous doubt the party dispatched of the Slaadi rather quickly, no doubt becuase of Rhynn's aid. We ten waited quite a while longer, everyone taking turn to sleep and prepare for wahtever might happen next. ronicly as soon as we had finished protecting ourselves magicly from the worst a Balor could bear upon us, he decided to show up. Now im going to say in advance that this is the second time that a Balor has told a party I was in that it wanted to barter, or toalk, or whatever with a group of adventurers. Both times as soon as the Balor shows up he doesnt listen to a word anyone says and he just starts trying to kill everyone, summoning draons, casting tremendois spells, the whole works. It seems we had no choice but to kill the beast. We just so happened to be lucky enough that we cought the Balor while he had the item we were after on him. We simply looted his corpse for the last of the four bark keys, the Key of Fire. We merily left the crypt, and made our way back to Valensk. As I sit here writing this we are preparing for the journy to Firesteep, and the unlocking of the Seed itself, so we may bring peace back to the broken forest.

* A note posted on the craft hall board *
In my advetures I have come acrost a set of bolts, ninety-nine in count that are truly remarkable indeed. The Bolts of the Destroyer as they are called are tipped with what is said to be molten metal recovered from a pool of magma from the base of some wholey Pyrtechon volcano, by some meditating cleric or some such thing. In any event the tips themselves become molten in flight and as such they burn youre enimies upon impact with the breath of the Destroyer Himself...
My name is Cideous, im a gnome dressed all in blue, and I can usualy be found reading a book in Hlint. Seek me out if you are interested and we will decide a price.
