    Our Paladin has fallen in love with the portly inn keeper. Bjornin helaed long ago, but he is afraid to leave the side of his true love, and so fakes his illness so that he may stay and the keeper will continue caring for him. He has spent over a year building up to a confession of his true feelings, but his shyness keeps getting the better of him.

    Alas, if only the affairs of the heart were as easy to resolve as a marauding group of ogres.

    He's malingering so he can continue to collect long-term disability.

    ...and he wants to park his horse on the "reserved for handicapped" spot.

    It's really the goody-two shoes gene that causes this - he would have healed several times over by now but every time some healing approaches a wound it sends it away saying no no I'm sure there are other wounds that need more attention than I and the healing is sent hither and yon getting the same message from each wound it approaches until it simply withers away and another bit of healing appears and approaches a wound and the wound sends it away saying no no I'm sure there are other wounds that need more attention than I and the healing is sent hither and yon and......

    437 days? What were you doing all that time? Just curious. :-D

    Unfortunately the wounds that Bjornin suffers from recur every single morning and are self inflicted. "

    ...Didn't they teach him how to use Lay On Hands in his temple?

    Look. You have enough intestines in your gut to get halfway to the moon... Bjornin got disembowelled last outing. Not disastrous as he is growing them back 2cm a day! Until then it is a cheap time at the bar, buying one drink, then continually refilling it from the magic filling colostomy bag...

    They did, but then there were problems with the authorities.

    I think he has PTSD. Every time someone over 6ft comes into the bar he has flashbacks and needs to order another Firewine.

    He got into trouble for laying his hands on the wrong lass (or lad) and was told never to do that again.

    You seem to be underestimating the pain and suffering caused by a bruised ego. Some wounds you just can't come back from...

    I heard about that one back at the temple before an inquisition. In reality he's just an initiate that seems to have gotten lost from his commander and is to afraid to return to his temple for fear of punishment. I'll get him on the way back to Baldur's Gate when I make another run from Nashkel.

    @OneAngryMushroom Are you gonna stuff him in a sack and drag him back to his Order?

    "Can you let me out please? Its dark and stuffy in here!" "Quiet you! You already put me over my encumberance limit!"

    I heard he got caught laying hands on himself in public and got in major trouble. Something about indecent exposure???
  • SouthpawSouthpaw Member Posts: 2,026
    yup. there goes the old paladin-in-training excuse "I was just trying to heal her!"

    ...that got me thinking, monks do get a "Lay on hands" spell too, but only on themselves. (Monks get healed with a little "private time" ?)

    I was originally going to put him on a pony and pull him back but that sounds much better. I can do that because I'm a myconid.

    I hope you weren't referring to me. I'm more of a library pony. =-p

    For some... reason... can't... resist... posting...

    He took an arrow to the knee, the incurable ailment that befalls adventures.

    Gah! Flag option That way --->
  • AlexisisinneedAlexisisinneed Member Posts: 470
    I think the reason why's he still there is that he saw Imoen and realize he could never have her and decided to spend the rest of his days drowning himself ale. Imoen has the effect on a lot of people.

    @Alexisisinneed

    Is that what you're in need of? Some Vitamin Immy?
  • AlexisisinneedAlexisisinneed Member Posts: 470
    @CaptRory

    Who doesn't? Vitamin Immy is a crucial for a growing Adventure.
  • CaptRoryCaptRory Member Posts: 1,660
    @Alexisisinneed

    Haha! Fair enough!
  • the_spyderthe_spyder Member Posts: 5,018
    Is it just me or does Imoen remind anyone else of Dawn on Buffy the Vampire-Slayer?
  • AlexisisinneedAlexisisinneed Member Posts: 470
    Well Imoen is useful to the group and Dawn is just a plot point for the fifth season and after that she just takes up space. But you could argue that they both have cheery personalities.
