What if that Priest was a zombie?

Or some kind of immortal, and he wants revenge? What should Demon do?

[Wizard Random Sempai]

Well it depends on the type of undead, but odds are she should arm herself with two weapons, a chainsaw and a flamethrower ((an aresol can and lighter)) as most undead are pretty much vulnerable against one of thsoe two weapons.

[Demon]

Freaky...


Yay! A chainsaw!!

[Wizard Random Sempai]

Heh, being a modern wizard has it's advantages, you get to use all sorts of cool technology...like this forum!

[Desna]

What kind of magic do you practice?

[Wizard Random Sempai]

I practice general ritualistic magic, you know, blessings, rites, omens, the slow and rather sagelike stuff.

The point of being a wizard isn't to do magic, but rather to fill the mind with knowlege and wisdom, to become a sage and advisor in times of need.

The myths of man are full of such people. Merlin, Odin, Thoth.
I try to emulate that ideal.


Maybe that or I just think Gandalf's the best character in Lord of the Rings, I dunno.

[Desna]

Gandalf is cool.

What did you think of Boromir?

[Wizard Random Sempai]

A VERY noble character indeed, both in the book and in the movie.

Borimir's tragic flaw is that he's TOO noble, he wishes to bear whatever burdens he thinks he can, thinking he can withstand them, which is why he wishes to use the ring so much, he doesn't think it can corrupt him.

Borimir's death scene has to be one of the best filmed things I've even seen. It's FAR superior to what the book gives him. Mostly because in the book he's just killed by the Uruk-hai, where in the movie, they create the character of Lurtz specifically to kill Borimir and to provide an indirect link to Saruman. Thus, Saruman indirectly kills Boromir through a named agent. A PERFECT cinematic tweaking.

[Desna]

Yay! Someone else who thinks of Boromir the same way I do!

Sorry to shift the questioning focus again, but, what do other people think that cause you to celebrate?

[Wizard Random Sempai]

Heh, just to let people know, I'm still here to answer your tough questions!

[Desna]

Really, people have judged Boromir because he tried to take the Ring from Frodo and they don't see anything else but that. Some think he's a horrible character or they think he was evil. Some say they are glad he's dead. And then other's just like him because Sean Bean's hot.

I would make a better response, but I'm tired and I'm having trouble articulating.

[Wizard Random Sempai]

Eh, I'll bet you were tired when you made that post, it's okay, a dicussion can be delayed until a later date.

Till then I hope I can answer more questions!

C'mon! gimme what you got!

[arael]

Hey, the Pig reference came from Snatch but I like the movie and kudos to teh wizard for being able to recite it verbatim smile

And yeah Boromir is a real noble person. I almost cried when he died.

So about questions, I've always wanted to know what's in a shepherd pie.

[Wizard Random Sempai]

Okay, Sheperd's pie is usually a crust of pie at the bottom, which is usually some sort od simple flour-butter dough rolled out. Above that is already browned meat, it's usually beef, but lamb can be used as well. above this is a simple mix of vegetables, usually corn and peas. and on top is mashed potatoes. This entire concotion is baked untill the crust is done, and the potatoes have hardened on the top.

It's good stuff!
