FormID: 01198113 1emmQuest1 88readbook 0 There once was a man named Wheedle. Or maybe it was a woman. The story goes to great lengths to avoid declaring Wheedle's gender.

FormID: 01198117 1emmQuest1 88readbook 0 The beggar was swaddled in rags from head to toe. No portion of the vagabond's body was visible. The men were intent on slaying the beggar.
FormID: 01198118 1emmQuest1 88readbook 0 With a cry of rage and indignation, Wheedle charged the men with sword drawn. They immediately fled from the armored figure with the shining sword.

FormID: 01198120 1emmQuest1 88readbook 0 [QUOTE]I ask only that you grant me powers to make my fortune and forge a name for myself that will live through the ages.[QUOTE]
