A little gully dwarf runs by and says 'Wordwrap is at 65. You change? Off 65 80.'
The gully continues 'Eyes hurt? Turn Color OFF!! (regular story dates)

Astinus gently places a tattered paperback on the table in front of you.
You note the spine bears the word 'Tecla' scribed in dark red ink.

Subject     Tecla's here!

Being born in a
gnomish family, Tecla grew up happy, as all gnomes do,
learning
technical issues about engineering stuff during his childhood,
he
was gifted with the natural talent of making all sorts of
inventions and
every now and then this creative gift resulted
amusing. However he was still
looking for that invention he was
designed to create to make sense of his
life. 

One day, a
foreigner visited Nevermind Mount...

Tecla
thought;

"Thismightbeasignalofmylifecreation"

So he"
invited" him to stay at home during three months...Fear and
apprehension could be seen in this funny visitor and these
feelings grew when Tecla decided he could be a very important
part in his new creation;

"The
fabulousandmostgorgeoussubtlebodyharieliminatorwithmultipositionalbladesoftremendoussharpnessandcuttingprecision"

Which
according to Tecla it was going to be the super invention of the
year that might win the award of the academy of inventors and
that surely will be sold successfully in all Palanthas...

With
this invention, a new generation gap was about to explode among
all inventors!!

Never did Tecla know that his words were going
to be quite accurate...
At the first attempt to test this device
on his special "volunteer", all the machinery exploded leaving
the human with third grade burns and without hair in some parts
of his body... 

As a matter of fact, the machine did work,
although the idea was not to get it destroyed which at the end of
the day Tecla did not care a lot...

Tecla
said;

"SurelyanewonewouldcomesoonIalreadyhaveavolunteerthatIamsurewillcooperatelongenoughtomakesomeprevioustestsbeforeitgoestotheworldmarket"

The
volunteer's eyes almost popped out and went out fleeing that
place.

Tecla
thought;

"IamsurehehassomethingveryimportanttodoButnotlessimportantthancooperatingwithmyinventionOrmaybehewantsmetotestitinhishometown!!!...whatagreatidea!!...IwillgetmytoolsandluggagereadytomakeatriptoPalanthas!!

So
Tecla took a small case with some clothes and a huge case with
lots of tiny tools and certainly...lots of hopes and dreams about
what was going to be the great trip of his life.

To be
continued...
