Curly Greenleaf

[Scott]

Does anybody have any stats for Curly? I used to know a bit, but now I can't remember anything other than druid/ranger.

Thanks.

Gary has lost the character sheet for his original PC of that name, who was a Gnome Illusionist/Thief. The character in the books is a Half-Elf Druid/Ranger. The three Aspirants that follow him in Artifact of Evil are clearly due to his reaching 12th level as a Druid. Regards.

[Scott]

Are you sure he was a gnome illusionist thief? I used to think that too, and I thought EGG told me that, but the last time I talked to him about it, he said he was as the character from the novels. So maybe I was mixing up Curly Greenleaf and Louhi Sharpnose.

I, too, had heard about the gnome of that name--but I didn't really start "talking shop" with Gary til after the Gord novels started so I am with Scott on maybe confusing another character in there! The Pun Demon

You're right, I misread the following phrase in an interview on the web:

A favorite character is a hard choice. As usual, the adventure is key to that. As I played Mordie more than any other character, I lean towards him. Curley Greenleaf was a lot of fun, but then again, a little-played gnome illusionist-thief I worked up a few years back brought some excellent gaming moments.

So clearly the gnome and Curley Greenleaf are separate characters.

I may have confused it with Gleed and Keak, who are pregens from the G-D series and also Obmi's henchmen in the Gord novels. In the modules, Keak is a Gnome Fighter/Thief and Gleed is a Human Magic-User. In Artifact of Evil, Keak is an Elf Fighter/Magic-User and Gleed is a Gnome Illusionist/Thief. Regards.

Is it interesting to align the Keak and of the GDQ series with the ones of the Gord novels?

If yes, how would you do it?

Is it possible that Curley Greenleaf is Greenleaf = feuillevert? An allusion that he is a Huguenot?

I just picked up my old set of books and was thinking of Curley Greenleaf.

I figured he was named for two kinds of parsley: the curly leaf kind and the Italian, flat-leaf kind. 

Was the Huguenot reference derived from John Greenleaf Whittier's bio?

According to EGG he was named after lettuce.

Just a couple cases down at your grocer's produce section.

I always assumed he was named after the Three Stooges character, since he's bald.
