Some computer programmers write a "Hello World" program as an exercise whenever they learn a new language; I have a similar exercise for Gloranthan game systems. The results are below for your amusement / horror:
Arquack is the last survivor of the Quawanwoli, the lost Durulz clan of the Colymar. He was educated by his mother, a healer and dentist, until she died in Starbrow's rebellion. Fleeing lunars into Beast Valley, he befriended a dream dragon named Ourshknos, who taught him Auld Wyrmish, the ancient art of Quack Fu, and introduced him to his dragon self. Finding a petrified dragon tooth taught him he was not a rock. He enjoys stupid cigar tricks, long walks on the beach, kneecapping lunars, and charming the ladies using the power of Barry White.
