Malagigi

Yes, I have read the Legends of Charlemagne and yes, Malagigi is my favorite Paladin. I'm even thinking of basing a character off of him in a campaign world of mine.

He would be more than just a Paladin. Read futher about Malagigi and you'll find out why.

     Ã¢,¬Å"All stood for a while in silence, lost in the delight of looking at her. The fiery youth Ferrau could hardly restrain himself from seizing her from the giants and carrying he away; Rinaldo turned as red as fire, while Malagigi, who had discovered by his art that the stranger was not speaking the truth, muttered softly, as he looked at her, â,¬ËExquisite false creature! I will play thee such a trick for this, as will leave thee no cause to boast of thy visitâ,¬,,¢Ã¢,¬Â
      "He hastened to the appointed spot, and there found the prince and his sister in a beautiful pavilion, where lay asleep, while the the four giants kept watch. Malagigi took his book and cast a spell out of it, and immediately the four giants fell into a deep sleep. Drawing his sword (for he was a belted knight), he softly approached the young lady, intending to despatch her at once: but, seeing her so lovely, he paused for a moment, thinking there was no need of hurry, as he believed his spell was upon her, and she could not wake."

     Ã¢,¬Å"â,¬ËSomething is going on wrong, and looks very black,â,¬,,¢ thought Malagigi, the good wizard; â,¬ËRinaldo is not here, and it is indispensably necessary that he should be. I must find out where he is, and Ricciardetto too, and send for them with all speed.â,¬,,¢Ã¢,¬Â
     Ã¢,¬Å"Malagigi called up by his art a wise, terrible and cruel spirit, named Ashtaroth. â,¬ËTell me, and tell me truly, of Rinaldo,â,¬,,¢ said Malagigi to the spirit. The demon looked hard at the paladin, and said nothing. His aspect was clouded and violent.â,¬Â
     Ã¢,¬Å"The enchanter, with an aspect still cloudier, bade Ashtaroth lay down that look, and made signs as if he would resort to angrier compulsion; and the devil, alarmed, loosened his tongue, and said, â,¬ËYou have not told me what you desire of Rinaldo.â,¬,,¢Ã¢,¬Â

In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

I believe this thread seriously needs some very strong bumpage here, especially with all the new contributing members we've been seeing lately.

I would like to offer you a sincere and heartfelt cabbage leaf, toasted with golden doritoes, and served on the back of a silver tortoise shell.

To this day I remain proud in knowing that I cannot read a word you said, save leet, as everybody can typically pick that one out.

SDragon

i know the first line, and through proccess of logical deduction, i feel safe in assuming the word before "leet" is "i'm" (or, at least, something to that affect; it could be "i am"), but other then that...

yea, pretty much looks like a monkey banging on the keyboard to me.
