An Introduction

(OOG: Not Kanas Whisperwood)

Wotcher,

I write this because I wish to make my formal introduction to the people of Travance. I first arrived at an establishment known as the Dragon's Claw Inn in the middle of what the people of this area call the Proper during a festival to celebrate the defeat of Xualla and his demonic forces. For those who have met me and those who have not I am Dr. Isaac Percy Goggins, a doctor of the medical sciences from her Majesty's queendom of Londwyn, of the wonderful city of Crownhurst. I came here originally to get correspondence with an Arthur Caracactus Goggins, who I have not seen for quite some time, but I met an old friend and fell in love with this quaint place. It's quite serene, but I've heard that it gets rowdy, and that that nice serenity that I once saw would be quickly replaced with the sounds of steel against steel and the roars of battle. I find that claim a tad bit extreme, and I doubt that this place is full of conflict on a day to day basis, but I will see one day.

To answer the question that you all have in your heads when you read this: Yes, I am related to Arthur Goggins, or Goggins as you refer to him. I am his step-cousin, as his uncle married my mother when we were both younger. The people that I have spoken to here were shocked by the fact that Arthur and I are related. If any of you need proof relation I have some stories that would validate my relation to him. I was shocked myself to see Ms. Matilda Catchlove in the proper. It's not often you see your former headmistress from years ago at the other end of Palmydia. I guess that feeling is similar to you all meeting another Goggins.

To any of my kinsmen in the proper of Travance, I am looking forward to meeting to you all. I remember the attacks in Crownhurst, and it was thanks to your tireless service that we succeeded. Words cannot describe the gratitude I and everyone in Londwyn feels. From the bottom of my heart thank you. I remember those days, those bloody days. Thank you for helping us end them.

To everyone of Travance, thank you for welcoming me to this land. You all are an interesting bunch of people, and I feel that there are more interesting things to come. I am looking forward to the tea and bread that we may share in the days to come. There are many of you I have not met yet. Please send me a letter or a missive. I am currently residing in the Dragon's Claw Inn until I find a place to stay and set my things.

Thank you for reading this posting, despite its length.

Dr. Isaac Percy Goggins

P.S. Arthur, if you are reading this or read this at some point, please send a letter home. Your mother misses you.

Heh. His middle name is Caracactus.

To the mysterious individual who did not sign his/her posting,

Why yes, his middle name is Caracactus. There are many people with middle names. For example, my middle name is Percy, short for Perseus. If you are curious about middle names, I think there are other people in the proper you can talk to about middle names.

Next time you write, do me a favor and sign. You seem like an interesting person and someone I would like to talk to.

From,
Dr. Isaac Percy Goggins

Oi,

Do you hit things with a wrench as well or is that only Arthur?

Signed, With Truth,
Jack Dimms.

Dear Mr. Dimms,

I regret to inform you that I do not use a wrench in the manner that you specify. A wrench is a instrument for the construction, repair, and improvement of mechanisms, and using it as a weapon is contrary to its original purpose. If you talk to Arthur, you will learn about the proper use of a wrench. But I am not a fighter. If I had to defend myself, I guess using a scalpel is my only option.

From,
Dr. Isaac Percy Goggins

Do not worry much about the words of my associate, his personality tends to reflect his name rather well. It is a pleasure to have you among us Dr.Goggins. I believe we may have met, I am the resident idiot of Travanse.
