Wesely Puzzle character

[Havard]

So I asked Maj. Wesely about his Blackmoor characters, starting with "the Weasel", and he said the weasel was probably meant to be him but was not a character he actually played. Initially he was "David the barbarian".

I read elsewhere that in the first couple of games they Original Players played themselves, or future characters that had been pulled into a fantasy world. I guess maybe David the Barbarian was that character?

Apparently David the Barbarian and Ross Makers dwarf character along with others stormed Blackmoor dungeons when it was under the control of the Orcs in order to rescue the Elven princess Lotsa, whom they had kidnapped. Only Maker and Wesely survived the adventure, but they returned Lotsa to the elf king who was waiting with Ean Elven Army outside the castle.

This is an awesome story. It definately needs to be incorporated into things. I'm thinking Lotsa is short for an actual elven name. She could easily be Menander's sister.

Anyway the reward for David the Barbarian was a short lived marriage to Lotsa. The end result of which - as Wesely learned years later - was a female half elf, who became Wesely's character during one of the anniversary games they played in the 2000's.

I do remember reading that Wesely had played a half-elf, but I didnt kow he didnt play this character until such a late date.

He said the character appeared in one of the Dave Arneson Blackmoor books, but he couldn't quite recal the name. It was something like "Martan vessaloy or vagely" - at least that's what it sounded to me like he said.

Any clue who that character might be?

Not that I can think of right now, but will look into it!
