Naked Halfling Run

Trinst was abuzz with excited chatter. I followed the streams of Mirthians to the South Gate and found it swarming with Naked Halflings.



I moved for a closer look, wondering what all the commotion was. The large group gathered before Daddy Haggis, who sported a NHR Staff Tshirt. They were getting ready to begin the Great Naked Halfling Run. Wiliband (Boliele) and Fredeger (Alderen) of Salvation were among those who started the race.



Without benefit of armor, spells, or weapons, the young halflings started the long and dangerous journey to Kauldur by foot. Many will start, but few will finish.



Many crash and die along the way. Fredeger among them, but I follow Wiliband closely, though I can do nothing to assist her. She is among the few in the lead, but predators stalk the helpless halflings nearby.




Crossing Jakareth and into the Eastern Wasteland is the most dangerous of all paths. It is in the Eastern Wasteland that Wiliband was attacked by a Carrion Beetle and perished.



However, Wiliband perseveres and eventually makes it to the finish line to win a special Tshirt. She is pictured here with Daddy Haggis, who did a great job "babysitting" the naked halflings LOL



The finishers line up for pictures, triumphant in their accomplishment. The winner (Bolorun) wins prizes of Scrolls of Learning, Books of Learning, and Fortified Potions.



Everyone gathers for pictures and partying to celebrate the occasion.
