Pentwell\'s book
#1Well, should we move this to Flesh it out and give it what for? It has good points but is overall a peice of garbage, it sounds like a prime canidate.
Pentwell's book | Type: Other | Book of fate, tells the future | Cursed | Author: elfkin [ Print Item ] [ Edit Post ]
This book's origin's are unknown, it's owner, Pentwell, an old hermit gnome living of the coast of Felldart found it one day on the shoreline, floating in the tide. Then, he learned that the book fortold what was to happen.
The old hermit was a sculking figure, small and ugly like most gnomes. Pentwell was his name. He lived on a rocky outcropping in what looked like a house made of mud and clay. One day, when his food reserves were dwindling, Pentwell went fishing. Instead of fish, he found a book floating in the tide, Reaching down to pick up the large black book, he noticed strange writing on it. (i)livre de future sombre(i) Not knowing the origine of these letters, yet he needed not fear the language barrier, the minute his fingers touched the leather cover, the letters changed to spell (i)Book of dark futur(i) Petwell was not stupid, he knew the book was magical. He then brought it to his home. Sitting down to read the first page, it was blank. All the pages were blank. "I wish I knew where this camefrom." declared Pentwell outloud. Then, something began to appear on the page, it showd an old man with a long silvery beard writing a book on a table. Pentwell turned the page quickly. On the next page showed the old man leting the book go into the ocean. Pentwell figured that this must be the great mage Leviadan. The old wizard must of known who this book was to go to. Pentwell kept the book, learned of wars, horrors and peaces yet to come. Soon he did not know what was present and what was future.

#2Don't think this one should be deleted regardless of what happens. I actually like the idea hidden in there but it does need some work.
Could move it to Flesh it Out but only under the condition that we immediately post a few things to help it out. -

#3What Strolen said. Lets give him a chance to fix some of it first. (It could happen). No matter what we do, we should dump it into the working area.
A random thought....
We could put it as a contest in the freeform area... where would you take this from here... as a story seed. Just a thought.
