It's a good show. People that travel in the TARDIS are given the ability to understand pretty much any language (a fairly transparent plot device, but effective), which was the basis for my original comment :P

EDIT: Massive sword wounds that are already cauterized? Bart may have an opportunity to pick up a lightsaber! :P

And the Doctor is one classic example of the Xenophilia disadvantage ;)

A third person manages to be lost in his dreams. Will Koli Jormun succumb to the adventures ahead or will he find the the prefect scene for a painting?

So I check for a Blue Police box in the surroundings. Koli could use an universal translating device it seems.

You guys are going to make me watch that show, aren't you?

By the way, where is Koli from? (England, never mind)

EDIT: what specific town he was in before would also be nice

It's a good show, so I feel no guilt making you watch it. ;)

He was born in England before he moved to Norway in his late teens. Didn't I mention it in the background story?

This is true, though it isn't everyone's cup of tea, so I wouldn't FORCE him to watch it. I'd just make him sit through a sea of references until he gives up :D

Ironically, he seems to be having more difficulty than either Elijah or Bartholomew, despite being in a (so far) much more mundane world.

"Gesture, the skill you need when you don't have it." Writings on the box he's holding in a strange language.

I think I see some social trouble with the authorities somewhere ahead.

So very, very true.

Well, we all knew that it would happen eventually when we signed up :P

believe it or not, modern society can be pretty hostile.

I debated long and hard putting language talent on the list of automatic traits, but I decided I wanted to be able to have you speak broken forms of languages.

And yeah, gesture is a probably a great skill for the ride.
