Anonymous 12/16/10 (Thu)03:47 No.13170284 Hide Gather 'round to hear the tale of Donovan Graham Everyone who knew him thought that he was a paladin, but he was not. Everyone who knew him thought that he was noble-born, but he was not. Everyone who knew him thought that he was a brave man, but he was not. A rogue and a con artist, what began as a simple attempt to get free lodgings at a temple for the night rapidly spiraled into a lie from which Donovan could not escape. That very night, word came that the governor was calling up a band of brave souls to set forth and attempt to gain intelligence upon or even slow the advance of an army pushing up from the south. He had beseeched the church to send aid and while there was not one among their elderly ranks who could have endured such a trial, there WAS their visiting brother-paladin "But I've no armor, no weapons. I donated them all to the poor," Donovan explained Then take with you these relics, the blade and armor of a great knight entrusted to our care. As one equal to him in both baring and breeding, we know he would approve of your using them," the monks answered back. And so given a weapon he'd no idea how to use and clad in armor so heavy he could barely stand, Donovan Graham joined a rough band of mercenaries and patriots to face a vast and terrible army His plan was to run the first chance he got, yet in that first attempt he blundered straight into caught up with him, cheering the brave Paladin Donovan for uncovering the spy enemy spy. In panic and through sheer luck, he put his sword through the man's chest, and collapsed bellow a tree. The rest of the band Anonymous 12/16/10 (Thu)03:47 No.13170293 Hide So continued his every effort to flee, at least four more times carrying him unwittingly into the clutches of danger and death. The rest of the band were amazed at his ability to sniff out ambushes and patrols and the almost berserker-like fervor in which he set upon their foes Finally, realizing that his only chance to survive was to keep in the company of the others, Donovan ceased attempting to flee. Soon he began to impress them with other skills, such as the settings of traps and snares, being able to talk an entire camp of local bandits into aiding them, and even methods to stealthily approach enemy lines without being seen. It was clear to them all that his religious passion and knightly virtue was tempered with great worldly knowledge. Unanimously, it was agreed that HE would lead the guerrilla movement against the enemy Donovan, despite himself, began to grow fo f the member of his band. In particular the young bard with laughing green eyes who delighted in his knowledge of bawdy songs (" wouldn't think a member of nobility would know that Donovan." "Are you kidding? We WROTE it.") and the half-elven wizardess with the freckled face, whose worldliness both awed and frightened him. Even the half-orc, as grou nfriendly a man as had ever been born, had somehow become a pillar d the local population, they slowed and even checked the advancing army. A bounty was placed on all their heads, but n was higher than for the Black-Haired who lead them. Despite ha managed to avoid directly involving himself in battle nearly the time, legends rose about his great prowess and mastery of the sword.

Dead for good this time, either from the poison in his veins or the blood that had spilled out of them And to this day, Saint Donovan Graham is honored as the patron of Guerrillas and Just Causes

The Russian avos' (Russian: aвосb) describes a philosophy of behavior, or attitude, of a person who ignores possible problems or hassles and, at the same time, expects or hopes for no negative results or consequences. It is an attitude that treats life as unpredictable and holds that the best one can do is count on luck.[1][2] >>73658048 # 1703041606043192.jpg 127 KB JPG >Damn you are right, this whole positivity and gratefulness thing is actually pretty good Yeah especially if you think of it in terms of sheer usefulness. Any sort of doomerism just undermines your attitude and it's much better to go through life naively assuming things will turn out well as long as you keep going forward and trying again and again despite any downs and lows in the past.
