I am so getting hit by the staff of the irritated moderator +5 for that one!
Well, this explains the fact that I ever have the impression that exists at least 40 Alaundos walking in the halls of Candlekeep, looking for the wellfare of the tomes and whiping... err... helping the scribes...    |
Dwarf, DM, husband, and proud of this! :P

Yeah, but I mentioned your earlier one just to cover one of the other possible results.

Elminster
Khelben
Halaster
Manshoon
Mordenkain(en)
Raistlin
Szass Tam (someone over at Worlds got the lich lord)
and
The Simbul (no one's gotten her yet? Hmm.)
Cheers
Ah, thanks for listing those. |

Khelben Blackstaff for me.
Haha... I loved those questions, especially the first one, a poke at all those conspiring nobles in Cormyr. |

Well met! I took the test, answering all the questions truthfully (assuming if I were able to hurl Chain Lightning and all) and got Khelben Arunsun (30% Whimsy, 10% Ruthlessness, 66% Routine).
Hmmm... I bet most of the librarians who took this test would end up as Khelben. Ed being the exception, of course |

Bow? Why? Going by just arcane might, Manshoon is one of the weakest on the list. |

Personally I think the test is stacked in Els favor. |

I tried answering as if it was really me, but few if any of the answers fit.
By choosing the least wrong answers, I came up with Elminster. |

Ah, GROMPH! Why didn't I think of Gromph? It's not like I'm halfway through Resurrection or anything.
Well, I suppose it's more the drow way to be secret and hidden. 
Anyway. Carry on.

Wooly...lad....it's not the size of the staff, but the deftness by which one wields it. And haven't ye heard that politics and money are merely magics taken out of dusty towers and given a good airing? There is where Manshoon's greatest power lies...not in how to counterspell someone's spells but how to keep them from wanting to leave their towers at all. |

| Got Elminster myself. In the beginning of the questioning had a serious case of Khelbenism, but then I got bored and started to kill everybody. maybe it thougt that I was too whimsical to be Khelben. |
I am Talanfir Swiftfeet. (In)famous across the Swoardcoast as "Tal the Swift", Brandobaris´ seraph of mischief. If ye find yer shoelaces tied together while trying to catch a thief or meet a king who is angry because somebody switched the places of his chamberpot and his crown, ye can usually (try to) find me near.
If I had a halfling mother and a human father, would I be a half-halfling or a threequarterling? |
