How Purrlin got her nickname... Well, the version that we can tell publicly, anyway.

"Please sit down and make yourselves comfortable," says Selame as she gestures towards the chairs in the sitting area.

"I have a lovely story to tell you all about a wonderful Ranger lass named Purrlin," she smiles wickedly at Purrlin with a gleam in her eyes as she pulls out a chair and makes herself comfortable.

"This story takes place many years ago. Purrlin was just a wee lass back then. Always seeking adventure, as she still does today."

"So when the time came to go on one of the many pirate hunts aboard the Lybadel, Purrlin was all over the idea of going with everyone. She climbed right on board, without the slighest hint of fear in her eyes."

"The others readied themselves for battle as Purrlin searched the seas for any signs of pirates that may be coming their way."

"Many minutes passed before a pirate ship was finally spotted approaching the Lybadel." Selame leans on the edge of her chair as she says,"You could feel the excitement growing amongst the other passangers as the ship came closer...and closer..."

"Screams were heard in the background as some of the others aboard the ship ran for cover, while everyone else advanced upon the pirates as they started making their way over the side of the Lybadel."

You hear Purrlin start to groan as the story continues. Selame pats her on the back, her smile widening.

"The battle was fierce! Pirates lay dead across the Lybadel's floor. Eventually, they started to get overwhelmed by the number of pirates that kept boarding the ship. So they decided to take cover through a doorway close by, hoping that some of them would wonder off out of boredom."

Selame begins laughing quietly to herself.

"As I was saying, the others took cover through the doorway for some time. There they sat waiting for the noise outside to quiet down so they could go back out and loot what remained and to finish what was left of any pirates. Niktoahl slowly creaked the door open to peek out onto the deck. When all of a sudden..."

"WHAM...CRACK...CLINK...THUD...The door slams in Niktoahl's face!" yells Selame as she slaps her hands together.

"Niktoahl put his ear to the door listening for any other sounds of movement before creaking it open again. Unable to see anything that posed an immediate danger he pushed the door open as they all stepped back onto the deck."

"Everyone's jaw hit the floor as they witnessed what had happened. There was Purrlin standing over the body of a pirate. THE pirate that she had creeped up on, bonked head first into the door with all of her might and knocked unconcious."

"Everyone was amazed at what Purrlin had done. They laughed and they cheered, of course they did all of that after they checked her from head to toe to make sure that she wasn't bleeding."

"After realizing that she wasn't bleeding and only suffered from a few minor scrapes and bumps, they continued laughing and carrying on as they cleared the deck."

"When they were finished they sat around laughing, sharing stories and doing all of the regular goofing off ODS members are famous for, as they made their way back home."

Selame settles herself back into her chair as she says,"Now you all know the story behind Purrlin's nickname....Bonk!"
