Velvyn isn't just a comic. He's real life. You may ask, "Who is this crazy elf in this comic who does all these outrageous things?" And I can tell you that each of his antics has its roots in a real event. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "I wish I could say this was an exaggeration, but that would be a lie." The Velvyn you see is 100% true to life, and 100% bound and determined for trouble. You can almost say he's our own personal Leeroy Jenkins--with pointy ears.
You see, V likes to elect himself as leader; unfortunately, his idea of leadership usually involves a kamikaze hop skip and a leap into certain doom, much to our persistent dismay. Many times the rest of us wished we had a leash for that elf. (V says he'd like it to match his feather.)
You might wonder why we put up with him. Well, the fact of the matter is he's a constant source of amusement and entertainment for us, so we keep him around, at least for that. Our Kinship wouldn't be the same without him--not to mention, if we must, he's a top-notch minstrel. But don't tell him we said that: it would go straight to his feather.

The truth thou speaketh master dwarf. Trying to keep a lead on yon minstrel when he hath spotted danger, is akin to trying to holdeth back one of my wolfhounds when it hath caught the spore of a goblin!
It's not as though he's the only one around here who does loopy, risky stuff for fun. His problem is just that he doesn't have ability to get away with it, like a certain first-class Burglar I know.
Actually based on many true stories. . .

I do concur.

Don't let Velvyn take all the credit...

What I want to know is. . .
Has he had all his shots?
