Grognard test

 I've spent the last couple days digging through the Grognardia blog.  He's an old school gamer - mostly AD&D, Traveller, and Empire of the Pearl Throne.  He is a lot more prolific than I am, with more than a post a day for many years.  There is a lot to sift through but there is a lot of good content.


One of his posts was a Grognard Test, originally from Stuart "PaperandPaychecks" Marshall.  The site it was originally from is gone, but the questions are reproduce on the site.  I was only able to answer one question - question 7.


The bonus question mentionsinvolved two names - Morgan Ironwolf, and Aleena.  Neither of whom I recognized by name.  A quick qoogle search later confirms that I should know both of them, as I had come across both of them back in the day.
