(Slight Language warning) Not a single one of the characters is mine, their leader asked this, in a brief moment after watch change:
What Do You Want?
Ammon: I want to see the ending of the Illefarn Guardian's existence. I have worked and waited lifetimes for this, only to see most of the failsafes fall into your hands. I want you to spend less time on useless things like this, and gather more power, by any means necessary.
And stop humoring those children, and control them! It will be good practice on using power.
Bishop: What does any man, with working balls want? Wine, women, and cold, hard money.
You're right, that's not all I want. Freedom from chains, tyrant leaders, and others' expectations. Fresh air and open trails. Wealthy targets that bleed, be they gith or Luskan.
Casavir: I pray daily for this darkness to be defeated, and never be a threat again. I hope we will enjoy the fruits of our hard fought victory.
I will help with this war in any way I can, you do know that, Commander? This oath means far more to me than my life. I will not fail you.
Elanee: I want those that are tainting the land to be stopped. The land to be cleansed and a new Circle grow. A Circle that remembers old errors, and that guardians cannot live only in the 'now' that animals do. Elders must think not of seasons like a gourd, but eras like a redwood or the land itself. They must remember it takes more to remove the taint of unlife and infernals than preventing it.
Grobnar: There are so many things I would like to have, so many things large and small I'd like to see. From legendary instruments, to lost songs, to mighty deeds and happy endings, I want many things, just like everyone else.
I believe the mighty deeds are well covered with our group, even if some are less than pleasant. -smiles- And I'm sure, none would begrudge me an ancient instrument if we come upon one. Happy endings aren't given in tales and legends, they have to be earned. So, why are you asking?
Khelgar: I want the Ironfists to prosper, with a reputation as strong as our worth! I'd like to marry a good woman, and raise many fine clan members. I want to become a truly strong fist for both my clan and Tyr, no matter how many times I have to bounce on my ass when learning my new roles. I want to help with this 'wee' problem that keeps dogging yer path.
Neeshka: Piles and piles of coins, jewels and goodies just dripping off me. We've had the dripping and oozing part, but I wouldn't call that any fun.
I want respect. -sighs- But I also know how rarely I've gotten any outside this gang, I never would have thought to get anything like that from a paladin. I don't remember any even smiling at me when I was a kid.
Qara: I want the respect I am owed by my mastery of magics. I am not some ignorant child, but a mistress of fire and lightning. I want those other girls and their parents to kneel and beg for my forgiveness for the way they mocked me.
Sand: Want? Those urges are well under my control after these many years. Sometimes I think these lands would be milder if humans lived long enough to cultivate more patience. True, true, problems are not always sought. But I would be quite willing to wager a large sum, that the roots of the problem lie in someone not anticipating consequences and rushing ahead. We are at the bottom of a barely balanced skree slope, begun long ago. -sighs-
If my needs were that complex, do you really think I would be living in the poorer part of a primarily human city? I admit there are spells and items I still covet, even after all these years of study. But there is no rush for those. There is little I want. I want us to succeed, and I want to be able to return to my researches and study.
Shandra: I want to rebuild the farm. I want things to stop trying to kill me, and finally get some peace and quiet from your collection of freaks.
Zjhaeve: Know that the life leeching darkness must be stopped. The relic of my people should be returned to us, though I admit I am less sure of the pieces.
A/N: Another, perhaps mordant, question for a shadow war.
