That sounds great Thorn

I'd love to see it!

I just put down a rabid creationalist in a debate forum a few days ago, because dogma isn't exactly my cuppa . Far as I'm concerned, calling a debate opponent the Antichrist is a cheapshot/low tactic(yes, even though depending on whom, might be kinda fun...).

Came up with conceptual designs, character sketches for Beowulf, Hrothgar, Grendel, and Grendel's mum so far.

I vaguely recall skimming thro the Beowulf...and that's about it...can you give me a quick summary of what it's about?

I could look it up, but this is much more interesting...

! Here goes...It might seem kind of long (but please keep in mind that I am summarizing an archaic/antique "epic" and am gutting through all the boasts/side-stories and background information):
Beowulf is the title character and his people call themselves Geats. He and his 'crew' of thanes (Proto-vassal/liege lord. Sort of like a warrior and a page,no wait, serfver to kings type of person at once), have to go help this tribe of 'Shield'-Danes. you see this dude named Hrothgar, he lords it over them, in this rather large-ish monument of a mead/feasting hall called Heorot. Unfortunately for the Danes there's this rather hostile/voracious demon named Grendel, who it seems has taken upon, midnight/nightly snacking upon them. Grendel's olair is under water in some sort of grotto in like a tairn in a swamp-like setting at the bottom of the lake w/ his momma. A hideous&equally evil water-hag w/large talon-claws. You see, Grendel receives quite a nasty shock being bested unarmed by Beowulf. He was pretty much weapon proof, near invulnerable (suspect had a skin of metal or something like that). Missing an arm, grendel runs crying home to his mommy before finally dying (I guess from bleeding to death). His mother is rather very P.O.'ed about this, and decides to wreck shop and the B-man has to go amnd fight her too. He gets real famous and eventually I guess obscure later, and in his old age gets to be a king, and dies in mortal combat with a dragon that they call "Wyrm." It bites him while he is stabbing it as it is dying and by the time help is sent for the poison has gone too fast thru his system. then the other thanes and people over in Geatland give him a spectacular, grand warrior's funeral, so that people fget to forever remember stuff 'bout his daring exploits, I suppose.
