In Which reldnahkram Is Christened as a Bridge Inspector

[reldnahkram]

I'm now a first level bridge inspector. My starting equipment is a vest of blinding and a helmet of protection, which also has a minor blinding bonus. Of course, my first encounter involved boots of water protection and a stream. The -2 DEX penalty they gave to those with small feet was amusing for a while, and then, well, I failed a detect deep water check and later got attacked by a first level branch; thankfully I'm not particularly vulnerable to dirt, rocks, or water, and I think my pants will survive the encounter (I only fell once).

Anyway, work will be good, but involve early days (typical bridge dept hours are 7.30-4 w/ half-hour lunch). Oh well, leaves plenty of time for evening fun. Also, Siddiqui's wife works there (not sure yet which dept).

You wonderful, geeky, nerdy man. I hope your life is greatly enriched by inspecting bridges; I know it's something you'd like doing. I think. Eh. Just have fun.

I'm glad you've found something to do, and it sounds like it might even be vaguely amusing. Plus, I'm happy to hear that your hours are even earlier than mine. It'll be a good way to drag myself out of bed. (:
