"Whaddya mean we? Did ya get a plot an no-one told me?"

[Petyr 485]

Well Kip, once I get this darn brewery off my hands, I'll have plenty o' my time to spend in Dunwood, and I believe I'll make a permanent home there. I've had some small talks about it with Len.

[Charlie4vb 26]

*Nods* "Get that brewery off yer hand an' we'll talk fer sure."

[Petyr 485]

Besides, I don't think I can match Gimblo's brewin' skills! He makes a mean ale. But don't tell the tall ones that, they pay well for me mediocre skills! *chuckle*

*Nods at drplat* True... I always imagine homes for my folks, where we fit in well.

((I really have to think about that lord of the rings scene with Gandalf and Frodo in Frodo's house haha))

[Petyr 485]

I've sold one brewery and hired staff for the other! I shall have lots of time now to come help ya out in Dunwood! I'll be makin' my way there shortly.

Darn me to heck! I need to start mah farm, but i cannot find Dunwood!

[Kayle Seek 6]

An' a nother thing! Wait, never mind it!

[Lym 849]

Ah found Dunwood when Ah was travelling through tha Wilds near Thistledown. Beautiful Landscape, Ah have to say. Ah met a guy. Ah still don't know his name but he was drunken and unfriendly, like a Half-ling has to be, haha!

OOC: Rusty told me I am speaking a (too) formular english.

If a Half-ling could write a 'quick guide' about the language I would be very happy =)

Looks like the language is a mix of Dwarvish and English?

[Kayle Seek 6]

Quick Guide to Soundin' Like a 'alfling

So, yah rolled as a 'alfling, did yah? That's good, we've got us a right fine community that is growin' all the time and a more developed culture than any other subrace. But now yah be needin' tah know how tah sound like a good 'alfing. The tips below should 'elp yah out.

1. Remember that 'alflings are country folk, preferring thar farms tah the big city. We don't 'ave all the fancy education that the city dwellers 'ave.

2. Swallah yar h's and g's. When a word starts with a h, replace it with a ', such as in 'ave a good day! When a word ends with a g, also replace it with a ', such as in good evenin' tah yah.

3. Use a country dialect that makes vowels flatten. Fer instance, use fer instead of 'for' and Ah instead of 'I'. Other examples are in this 'andy translation list:

Ah = I

Fer = For

Mah = My

Tah = To

Thar = There or Their

War = Were

Whar = Where

Yah = You

Yar = Your
