Well met, all

I would like to see a search function added to the Hall of Heroes. It would be great to be able to search for an NPC with search terms like "ranger" AND "female" AND "level 6". I realize it would be an immense of amount of work to add the searchable fields and so on. A simpler alternative would be to simply add gender and level to the "Race & class" column. The "Race & Class" column for the NPC Aden Sahr Donzait, for example, currently reads: "Human Mage Cleric". I would be helpful if it could read: "Human male Mage 18 Cleric 6"

I would, by the way, be willing to go through all of the NPC entries myself and edit the center column entries to reflect gender and class level. I could do this in a word file from which the revised entries could be cut and pasted into the center column field.

Hmmm... Looks like I'll have to remind Big Al that this scroll is still waiting for a reply.

No, I haven't forgot, my dear Sage. Mayhaps I should start sharing the load of all my numerous tasks, to ensure i'm able to respond faster

Many thanks for the offer, Afetbinttuzani. However, this section of the site will be contained within a database and be part of the site redesign, which will enable your requested functionality of using searchable key fields

Most excellent. Many thanks, Aluando, for thy toils and those of all the good scribes, without whom this noble edifice would surely crumble.

Huh? Oh, errr... look, I'm needed in the other chamber.

Hold, pray do hold! Where goest thou most high lore Master? Dost though tire of our intercourse?

And so I start the day with a hearty chuckle
