...I swear I was going to return that. And that. And that. And that, too! I'm just behind schedule and it's not my fault. I expected the Dreamberry wine to run out two days ago... - Pergathon

Comments: Pergathon, played by my friend Kyle, was the happy go lucky halfling thief. Kyle is one of the funniest guys I know and he kept my laughing all the time while we played and he was a great gamer. He moved to Iowa our sophomore year of high school but we stayed in touch through the years and we had some great party weekend in our younger days.
For my new backstory for him here, he’s happy on the outside, but very sad on the inside as he longs to find his real parents. When we played, he was one of our best combatants, having a modified belt of Ogre Strength so there was this 3 ft tall Halfling flining big dudes around. It was fun stuff.
Pergathon at this point in his life is similar to King Xander in that he longs for the adventuring life, but with a wife at home and his appointment by the king to be the Master of Espionage for the kingdom, he has responsibilities that preclude him from resuming his adventuring life. He has turned to the bottle a bit (a bit too much for his wife’s taste, although she remains loyal) and Xander and Sian have had to get him out of a bit of trouble as he continues his thieving ways “just to stay in practice” he says. Most of the time, he steals stuff and returns it quickly just to prove he can since he is loaded thanks to his sales of procured items over the years, but when he’s drunk, sometimes he forgets.
