Character Q&A Melric
Added 2016-09-29 23:57:47 +0000 UTCOne reader asked Melric:
"When you were casting the mind control spell, what about it caused you to get the nosebleed? Was the spell itself just really intense or was it a product of the environment?"
Answer:
Melric:
The human body, even one as attuned to the Arcane as my own, is ill-suited to the rigors of channeling psychic forces. When bending the raw power of the super-ego to one’s conscious will, sometimes…
Thorden:
The nosebleed thing happens whenever he sees a naked girl.
Melric:
No one asked you, Thorden!
Nimrol:
Wait… He got a nosebleed that time in Laxton, and that girl wasn’t even naked!
Thorden:
She was wearing a chainmail bikini, Nim. That counts as naked.
Nimrol:
Nuh-uh! She was covered up in all the important parts.
Thorden:
Dude, chainmail don’t count! You can totally see through the links. I mean you got nips pokin’ through forged steel! That’s enough to give me a nosebleed!
Nimrol:
I thought you only got nosebleeds for truesilver?
Thorden:
Oh, man, that would be somethin’! Mithril-bound melons!
Melric:
Dear gods, are there no limits to his dwarven misogyny?
Thorden:
It’s pronounced “Metallurgy”, douche-wad!
Nimrol:
How come I can’t see through your chainmail, Thorden?
Thorden:
Why you tryin’ to see my nips, man?
Nimrol:
Shut up, Thorden!
Thorden:
Why don’t you make me, Sir Peepsalot?
Nimrol:
I don’t make stinky dwarves, I… uh… I feel the sudden urge to stop talking.
Thorden:
As do I… Though, in point of fact, I do feel the inexplicable compulsion to remark upon what a valuable and clever addition to our adventuring party the amazing Melric truly is… and now I shall remain silent for an extended period of time.
Nimrol:
As shall I… Wait! Why’s your nose bleeding now, Mel?
