Here is a peek into the interaction between an unknown NPC entity and the character in the Void.
Fleck is the PC that is trapped in the Void.

EVENT

Fleck hears a voice from the Void! The voice is soft and commanding, weaving through the air like tendrils of mist, carrying with it an irresistible allure.

Voice from the Void "Ah, lost soul, ensnared in the intricate web of fate's folly, you've stumbled into the abyss with such exquisite timing! Tell me, do you revel in the chaos, or tremble at its touch? Fear not, for in this void, where reality dances on the edge of oblivion, there are secrets untold, power unchained. Embrace the madness, dear traveler, for here, even the laws of magic bend to the will of the unpredictable. Let us weave our destinies together amidst the chaos, for in the void, there are infinite possibilities waiting to be unraveled."

GM: What is your reply?

Fleck: " Greetings whispering voice, I maybe ensnared in this prison of yours .. " " I may also have danced on the edge of Chaos for the past year or so also ... " "Most of that being due to the desires of evil elements that seek ultimate power to rule all." "Currently the world is a blaze of war and destruction ... to what end ... we can only guess!" "This magic you speck of seems unlike any that I have been taught. I have been taught extensively by talented Mages, Seers, Mentalists, and Elementalist's." "All magic has a source ... so I posse to you dear voice of the void, 1. What pray tell is the source of this magical conundrum other than chaos." "2. What are the costs of this weaving of our destinies?" "3. What control if any may I impose on the magics that will be unleashed?" 

Voice from the Void

Ah, a student of magic! This is a wonderful stroke of luck! I see that Chaos has touched you even before arriving here in this prison. A tortured soul. We have this in common. I also was an apprentice like yourself, in the beginning. War and destruction you say. So not much has changed since I last walked the Known World. Although I do not know how long ago that was. Time passes here unmeasured. Your questions reveal much about you. I will answer them honestly.

1. What pray tell is the source of this magical conundrum other than chaos? "The High Council of Azehur".

2. What are the costs of this weaving of our destinies? "We will become Soulbound. If one life is lost, both of us will perish".

3. What control if any may I impose on the magics that will be unleashed? "That is an intriguing question. Magics unleashed? I will be unleashed of course and I will seek revenge on those who imprisoned me, if they still live, and my wrath will be glorious to behold!".

Suddenly you are struck by a bolt of eldritch energy. The air around you seems to shimmer and distort, charged with arcane magic. The Voice from the Void takes on an otherworldly tone, commanding and authoritative. The sensation is unsettling, as if your mind is being pulled in different directions at once as you struggle to remain in control and try to make sense of the chaos within your own mind.

Voice from the Void
"Listen closely, my new apprentice, for chaos bends to my will. I offer power beyond your wildest dreams, but know this: defiance invites chaos's cruel embrace. Serve me, and thrive in its chaotic dance. Cross me, and drown in its merciless tide."

I really want RM2 to be "reprinted" it good PDFs to be sold on whatever site.
I sadly just dont see it happening if there is no end date to the rights of the authors!

My solution would be to update it all like the RoCo I and then give whoever come claiming a part they money of the sale.

Hmm, I did not notice it, but goblins shrank from previous editions that had them 3'6"-4'6". Possibly that was to keep them from being on the cusp of size Small, but the others didn't get adjusted. Kobolds have a lower St modifier though.

Goblin clogs might also give them an edge.

I'm going to convert the drow from AD&D to RMSS.  I know the original Creatures and Treasures had conversion guidelines for AD&D monsters as well as RuneQuest monsters.

The reason is, the drow have an important spot in my world system that I'm filling out on World Anvil. And I know that Rolemaster doesn't have drow.  But I'd like to add them.  Any help would be appreciated.
