Today we find ourselves far away from the well-known comfort of the world of Krynn. Today we are draped in the eerie quietness and dark brooding feeling that permeates the air as we travel through the Mists in the realm of Ravenloft........ for it is here that Tavin has come to give you.......

Tavin's Nugget of Joy 10-20-97

By Tavin Springfingers

Long gone but not so easily forgotten, Tavin's guest has been with us from the beginning, and many a Cleric hopes he will stay away until the end. You guessed it, Today we......

INTERVIEW LORD SOTH

Tavin: Hallo!

Soth: A Kender.....? Alive...? Here....? How did you come here small one?

Tavin: Oh that was the last Interview. There was this BIG red Dragon and I got her upset and so....

Soth: SO! You do hail from Krynn......

Tavin: Uh, last time I checked.

Soth: How fares our world, small one?

Tavin: Well, I'll tell you later, okay?

Soth: Why later? What have you come here for?

Tavin: I want to interview you!

Soth: A Kender..... interview ME? How quaint.... Very well, it is dull here and I am in good humor today. You may proceed.

Tavin: Okay. So how come you ended up in this dump?

Soth: I am not quite sure. From what I know, this is Hell for the extremely evil.

Tavin: You don't seem like that bad of a guy.

Soth: I could have prevented the Cataclysm, but instead I killed my wife......

Tavin: So what? We've had TWO of them! That isn't half as bad as the bag boy at the store who always puts the bread on the bottom so it gets squished or that Human who runs around yelling "ORDER OF THE MACE" this and "ORDER OF THE MACE" that until you think your ears will fall off..... he should be here, not you!

Soth: Now I remember why I hate Kender.

Tavin: What's it like to be undead?

Soth: It is an eternal torment, reliving your sins every waking moment, knowing that you will never be at peace. I would not wish this curse upon any being!

Tavin: Answer the question.

Soth: ...............

Tavin: Hey, you know, you have your very own country now, back on Krynn. Its called Nightlund. And people even say that they have seen you! Is that true?

Soth: Is this strictly off the record?

Tavin: Uh huh!

Soth: It's me. I like to drop by every once in a while to throw a kink in the works and jumble things up.

Tavin: Well then how come you said it had to be off the record?

Soth: Because you little fool, the ones in charge say that I must stay in this damned demi-plane!

Tavin: The ones....... you mean the Gods?

Soth: NO! The staff at TSR! Don't you ever read???

Tavin: Oh............. guess not.

Soth: According to TSR, the Mists are inescapable, therefore I am stuck here for eternity. However, when building the place, they installed a service elevator in the mists for janitorial services and it is still used.

Tavin: There is only ONE janitor for ALL the worlds????

Soth: Hey! They're on a tight budget you know.

Tavin: So you use the service elevator?

Soth: Yes. I know the janitor. His name is Bill. We've been buddies since before I died.

Tavin: You know, I found this spell at that other guys castle... what is his name.......... Straw?

Soth: ......... STRAHD! STRAHD VON ZAROVICH???

Tavin: Yeah that's the guy. I'm holding it for him. It is a scroll of Mist Traveling....... whatever that means.

Soth: ....................................................................... little one....... may I hold on to it? I am bound to see him before you.

Tavin: Oh, sure!

Soth: *quietly, so that Tavin can't hear* YES! Now I can Legally traverse the Mists back to Krynn!! Blessed Kender!!

Tavin: Is everything okay?

Soth: Yes. May I borrow your Hoopak?

Tavin: Sure.

*The hoopak glows a sudden shade of green as Soth hands it back*

Soth: Now go to Krynn small one. And Hurry.

Tavin: Okay! Thanks for the interview!

Soth: No Kender. Thank you!

*At this point, Tavin returned home. As he sat in the Inn of the Last Home two weeks later, he was surprised to make an interesting discovery.....*

Tavin: Gee, this looks familiar...... HEY! This is that scroll of Mist Travelling...... I must have given Soth my scroll of Random Plane Transference instead....... oh, well.

*Somewhere in the Astral Plane..........*

Soth: ............. Damn Kender! Wish he was Undead.......
