Let it be known that Earl Frogstomper, Red Ninja extraordinaire and tough old miserly sod is finally announcing his retirement from the adventuring/mercenary tradition. At now quickly approaching his 89th birthday, he has this to say. "Man, it's been a wild ride, more fun than I ever expected. But with mah wife dead, my kids in thar 60s, my kid's kids in thar late 30s and THAR kids just about ready ter take up the trade and find wives of thar own, ah know ol father time comin for meh. Gonna trade in all mah gear and profits and pay off em back-taxes on tha family ranch in Brech, so we all keep with the brewin and pipeweed trade. Ter all meh friends out thar, please feel free ter drop by and give meh ah holler. Ah still got mebbe ah decade left in meh, and my family is yer family. We got the whiskey brewin and the pipes lit up fer ye!"
His will indicates the entirety of his wealth and items will be going towards his family members, and for paying off old debts. He shall now be taking up "an honest job" brewing for the dwarves of Brech and farming hops & pipeweed in Prunilla's way. With over 40 able bodied grandchildren and great grandchildren to take up the chores, his retirement years shall be spent most productively, seeing to it that the "XXX Whooparse Ninja Brew" label finds its way across the lands. And so, one of Layonara's most eclectic and energetic adventurers finds his retirement years in comfort, with over half of his soul strands still intact. If only we could all be so lucky!
//been fun, but playing a human past 90 entails heart attacks, hernias and adult diapers. Would rather go out on a strong point than see him whither down into feebleness. Please feel free to use him as an NPC in Brech, all ye GMs. And for any players interested in playing a descendant, let me know. Likely when the MMORPG comes out, I'll be playing his great-great-grandson, Earl Jr!
