Correll Starp

Starp? Yeah, I knew that it was a risk to take him on this expedition. As lauded as his discoveries have been, you have to admit that the man has earned his rest. He’s over eighty now, and his glory days had passed by the Year of Barely Angry Panda. He was certain that there were clues to the Sybarite Riddle in the Wasted Lands though, and really – Would you argue with Correll Starp? He invented the shining bell three years from the university!

His first mistake was assuming that since he had once kept a Lithoni servant, the Lithoni Tribesmen would be willing to help us out. The band which we encountered at Kek’s Tears turned out to be nothing more than bandits who had gotten themselves into a spot of trouble regarding their own supplies. Starp’s willingness to discuss their plight from the proper ethno-cultural view was commendable, but dangerous given the circumstances.

He went how he wanted to though, and that’s more than most of us can say. He must have solved that riddle, the way that he was going on before his notes turned into complete balderdash. I wish that he would have explained the final portion, now that I think of it. Just what did he mean by an astronumerical code?
