Stories of Ansalon from the view of Tecla.

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

Astinus says 'Enter the main library here to view only the author list.'
Astinus gently places a leather bound tome with glowing glyphs on the table in front of you.
You note the spine bears the word 'Tecla' scribed in dark brown 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.
