“This tah be the vereh bes’ drinkin’ night, I don’ doubt! None bettah in all tha land!” Liesl waves a fist triumphantly

*feels left out but proud of her finding nonetheless ;-;

(Hip hip huzzah for the halfling golden age! And thanks a million to all those halflings that make the group so wonderful and work so hard for it)

Liesl runs forward, dragging her papa behind her “C’mon c’mon hurry!” Primary Shogger: Rollo Applefoot Secondary Shogger: Liesl Applefoot Desired Team Color: Yellow

Dame Aldonza de Castelo would welcome the old knight to the seven skies with a kind smile.

Liesl Applefoot would be deeply insulted! The halflings sorrow being wielded like a sword to better wage war? A cut as deep as the first. The young’un would lament once more within her burrow at the treachery of the nations.

Liesl would move to quickly paint over the odd scribblin’s on the Applefoot’s door. Although... the weird design was rather pretty! The li’ul halfling would proceed to spend many a sunny day doodling on the door. Surrounding the lovely design with hearts, smileys, and doodles in as many colors as she could. What a nice fellow to have come up with such a heartwarming idea! And to paint it on every door? A truly caring soul. Just the thought was enough to set the girl a whistling as she worked.

Liesl Applefoot, after a long day of a proud tinker’s work would skip back to the Applefoot dwelling, eager to hear the news of the latest Pumpkin Raid from kinsmen and parentage alike! Who now has vowed a life of peace? What would be shared at the table, drinks in hand, of strange bigguns and merry tavern tales? But it was not into a happy home and proud aura that Liesl returned to. The young halfling looked up to her father and Thain with a worried gaze, sensing his spirit to be off put. And with a woeful look in return, he shared that dreadful news. The peaceful role model and faithful Knoxist would return no more to cheer her on in shogging matches or nod approvingly at her most recent creations. Or even to tell a bedtime story when the night seemed especially dark and the world far too big for a young’in halfling. The tyke sealed herself away to process the news of her mother’s death. And she would stay sealed away within the Applefoot’s humble burrow for the days and weeks and year to come.

The lady Ildaria Castelo would begin speaking with her brother and his levymen about closing the settlement to outsiders for a time. This war was truly no good for business or peace of mind within Rodenburg.

My signature is a handy dandy list of past and present characters. Dame Aldonza the human is the character I ended up putting a lot of effort into and has a lot of accomplishments under her name. I enjoy seeing other communities and races, so I’ve experimented with a few interesting personas. Currently, my mains would be Ildaria (Aldonza’s daughter) and the halfling Liesl of the wonderful and ever growing Applefoot family.

Name: Liesl Applefoot Race: Halfling Tell us more about yourself: Ain’t no shogger like this shogger! Why do you want to win this Tournament: FOR GLORYYY

Dame Aldonza de Castelo cackles from the Seven Skies

Liesl Applefoot would nod along thoughtfully as she looks over the papers. After brief consideration, she finds this to be exactly what she has been looking for to finish her makeshift birds nest! She then proceeds to rip up the pages and stuff the scraps between the twiggies. No doubt some lovely birds will come to make their home here now. Liesl might’ve even gone so far as to make a “Welcome Home” sign if’un she was able to read and write.

HAVE SCIENCE: “A number of women’s magazines have recently carried goodnews reports claiming that the smell of cinnamon buns has been proven to ‘boost male erections’ - some use the more scientificsounding euphemism ‘increase penile blood-flow’. A few reports also mention lavender. In fact, the study in question - conducted by the Smell and Taste Research Foundation in Chicago - discovered only that ‘in those with a normal olfactory ability, a variety of odours can increase penile blood-flow’. These odours included pumpkin pie, liquorice, doughnuts and lavender, and various combinations of these, as well as oriental spice and cola.” [Source: https://www.sirc.org/publik/smell.pdf] “When it comes to using essential oils in products, lavender is one of the most popular ones selected. Used throughout history, lavender has made its mark in the cosmetics, medicinal, and perfumery industries. This is true for two reasons; first lavender is one of the most recognized scents worldwide. And second, with such an array of skin and health benefits from lavender, it is easily a front runner for induction in to products.” [Source: https://www.naturesgardencandles.com/blog/tag/what-does-lavender-smell-like/] “Lavender is traditionally alleged to have a variety of therapeutic and curative properties, ranging from inducing relaxation to treating parasitic infections, burns, insect bites, and spasm. There is growing evidence suggesting that lavender oil may be an effective medicament in treatment of several neurological disorders. Several animal and human investigations suggest anxiolytic, mood stabilizer, sedative, analgesic, and anticonvulsive and neuroprotective properties for lavender.” [Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3612440/] Additional Links: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/10/181023085648.htm YOU CAN TEAR THE WONDERFUL SMELL OF LAVENDER OUT OF MY COLD, DEAD HANDS.
