21 Do I believe this? Do my roving orbs decieve me? Am I at the top? I come backafter a long hiatus (after a time on
|
|||
|
22 this board in which, it must be noted, Inever made it to the upper eschelons of glory) and I find this board strangely
|
|||
|
23 less busy than I left it. What's the deal? Have I just struck upon a good time of the day to call? Or has there
|
|||
|
24 been some monumental schism that I am not aware of? ( besides the Destroyer...ah.. incident)
|
|||
|

|
|||
|
26 Back to the book of the Pariana Riva. The number four holds great significance in the land of Illyria. There are four seasons,
|
|||
|
27 each boasting it's own seasonal animal. These animals are the Dragon of Summer, the Phoenix of Spring, The Unicorn of winter,
|
|||
|
28 and the Gryphon of fall. Each of these hold almost messianic status in the Illyrian Religion. In the ruling body, as well
|
|||
|
29 as the theocracy, there are paralells. THere are four seats of power, each corresponding to one of the four elements and held
|
|||
|
30 by a practicer of the four basic arts.
|
|||
|
31 ( Elements: earth, wind, fire, water... Arts: priest, sorceror, warrior, mariner.)
|
|||
|
32 The Book of the Pariana Riva states thatthe two most popular thrones are the earthen throne, and the Merlaor (undersea)
|
|||
|
33 throne. This is because these are the only two elected trhones. The other two, the thrones of Fire and Wind, are eitherempty
|
|||
|
34 (as in the case of the throne of Fire) or unconcerned with governing (as with the sorceror that holds the Northern throne of
|
|||
|
35 the winds.) There are many more parralells that can be drawn, but for now they would be too tedious to write., as well asread.
|
|||
|
36 More later.
|
|||
|
37 To the author of the Book of Souls.. Is it a real book, or are you writing itout of your own fertile little 'maginings
|
|||
|
38 Yours, riding on the winds of spring....

42 Rivania: It was nice of you to attempt to save lines, but next time use
|
|||
|
43 MA 120. As it stands most of your lines are 127 (128?) characters long.
|
|||
|
44 This means that (due to a bug) the FI & FA commands will "find" those
|
|||
|
45 lines (ie a 128 char line is an automatic match).

49 From Prometheus; Aside the warm light of a soft lamp
|
|||
|
50 The electrical circuits in my room decided to take a shower. In their own
|
|||
|
51 sparks, but a shower. There were a few fires in the wiring and the insulated
|
|||
|
52 aluminum wiring is in it's last days. Emergency wiring was installed until the
|
|||
|
53 old stuff is ripped away. Leaving me with a five inch teleivision, and a fine
|
|||
|
54 lamp, on the floor. The effect of this on my monitor is pleasant, and I felt
|
|||
|
55 the urge to do something under the light.
|
|||
|
56 Hence, this entry.
|
|||
|
57 Assorted messages follow.
|
|||
|
58 Guardian; I wish you had never disclosed the secret of the numbers. Now
|
|||
|
59 they are visible every sixty lines, or so. Do us a favor, and never reveal any
|
|||
|
60 other notation systems. Until then, sd8503.22 mt1824.43, heh, heh.
|
|||
|
61 Man in Gray; Dad let me drive to Colorado. The roads are a lot different
|
|||
|
62 when I drive, they were easier when someone else was driving. Once I got to
|
|||
|
63 the promontory the observatory is on, it looked worse too. Those people left a
|
|||
|
64 few crates of ammunitions in the corrugated tin walls. The main lens had razor
|
|||
|
65 scratches on it, and there are at least fifteen pounds of sugar in the kitchens
|
|||
|
66 that weren't there a year ago.
|
|||
|
67 The spent shell casings fit ingrams.
|
|||
|
68 I think we might be in a little trouble. Renting it out was incredibly
|
|||
|
69 stupid. I might be able to blame it on hunters, and stray chefs, but no one
|
|||
|
70 is going to believe me.

|
|||
|
173 It seemed like an eternity being stuck in the statis field. I had no
|
|||
|
174 real idea what was going on, or even what this was all about. It was
|
|||
|
175 all so frightening. The voice in my head was of no help. It was almost
|
|||
|
176 smug in it's knowledge of things. I wish I was back in my safe and
|
|||
|
177 secure Inn. I wasn't cut out for all this adventuring stuff.
|
|||
|
178 The Inn! WHo was watching the Inn? What was happening to it? Why anything
|
|||
|
179 could happen. It could be burned down or overrun while I'm stuck here.
|
|||
|
180 I hope it is alright.
|
|||
|
181 My little voice had been quiet for sometime. since it tried to do what
|
|||
|
182 ever it had tried to do before the restraining system had taken hold
|
|||
|
183 it had not said a word. I didn't know if it was biding its time or
|
|||
|
184 planing some devious plot. -Say something- #Something# -Well, at least
|
|||
|
185 I know you're still there. What have you gotten me into though?-
|
|||
|
186 #I haven't gotten you into anything. This primitive contraption has
|
|||
|
187 gone into an overload condition from too many entities occupying it
|
|||
|
188 at the sametime. When the space/time dialation field generator started
|
|||
|
189 to fail the autoreturn mechanism took effect and is attempting to now
|
|||
|
190 return the vehice to its original source.# -Huh?- #It's heading for the
|
|||
|
191 repair shop.# -Oh, why didn't you say that in the first place?-
|
|||
|
192 #Sigh... never mind... If we're lucky it will make it before the whole
|
|||
|
193 thing colapses in a pile of molten metal and plastic.# -And if we aren't
|
|||
|
194 lucky?- Then the power generator will fail, and the containment field
|
|||
|
195 around the blackhole that powers this thing will disappear, and we'll
|
|||
|
196 all be sucked into it crushing us into nothing.# -Oh... I hope that
|
|||
|
197 doesn't happen, I've got to get back to the Inn.- #Sigh, I don't know
|
|||
|
198 which is less intellegent, you or that slime slug I was stuck with
|
|||
|
199 last time.#
|
|||
|
200 The air around me started to shift more quickly traveling the whole
|
|||
|
201 spectrum of the visible colors and beyond. Getting brighter and brighter
|
|||
|
202 as they shifted. the throbing noise was getting louder too, as was
|
|||
|
203 the smell of burnt something or other. Just when I thought it was going
|
|||
|
204 to go on forever, there was a loud thump, and the vehicle came to a
|
|||
|
205 shuddering stop vibrating everything despite the statis field that was
|
|||
|
206 still in effect. The compartment deformed and canted to one side from
|
|||
|
207 the force of the landing. Moments later the force of the landing apparently
|
|||
|
208 caused irreperable damage to the controls, because the statis field
|
|||
|
209 suddenly let go in the midst of an explosion from the control panel
|
|||
|
210 that showered everyone in the area with sparks and bits of burning
|
|||
|
211 whatever it was that made up the equipment. Having been in a bit of an
|
|||
|
212 awkward position before the statis field took effect, I fell flat on my
|
|||
|
213 face when it let loose. "Well," Bard said, "We're home...I think..."

|||
|
323 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|||

324 IT IS APPARENT THAT ONE CANNOT BECOME A PRACTISING MAGICHIN
|
|||
|
325 UNTILL ONE HAS A PLACE TO PRACTIS - A MAGIC TEMPLE or ALTER
|
|||
|
326 THIS DOSENT MEAN YOU MUST CLUTTER THE ROOM WHITH MAGICAL SYMBOLS
|
|||

327 IN FACT YOU CAN MAKE A ALTER OUT OF A EVERY DAY COFFE TABLE..
|
|||
|
328 BUT BE WORNED DO NOT USE THIS TABLE FOR ENY THING ELSE THEN MAGIC..!
|
|||
|
329 THE TABLE SHOULD BE AT LEAST 3ft X 2ft. THE BIGGER THE ALTER THE BETTER.
|
|||
|
330 A TEMPLE CAN SOME WHUT BE MADE IN THE SAME WAY .. THOU ITS NOT WISE,
|
|||
|
331 ITS BETTER TO HAVE A HOLE ROOM OR ATTECT, BASMENT, ETC,.
|
|||
|
332 FOR THE OF A TEMPLE......
|
|||
|
333 LET S JUST STAY WHITH THE MAKING OF AN ALTER FOR NOW BECOUSE ITS
|
|||
|
334 MUCH EASYER, & TAKES A LOTS LESS EFERT.

|||
|
342 =================================

|||
|
344 BUT IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE ENY COLLOR WILL DO..
|
|||

345 PLUS YOU WILL NEED A SMALL BOX NO LARGER THEN 6` HIGH
|
|||
|
346 NOW THAT YOU HAVE ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED FOR NOW
|
|||
|
347 WE CAN PROSEED TO BLESS THEM.
|
|||
|
348 PLACE THE BLACK CLOTH OVER YOUR ALTER THEN PLACE THE SMALLER BOX
|
|||
|
349 AT THE FAR SIDE FROM WERE YOU WILL BE SITTING
|
|||

376 My mind was numb, even after the stasis field switched off (or became
|
|||
|
377 inoperable?). One thing I never did understand- if the entire craft was
|
|||
|
378 placed in a a stasis field, including the stasis device itself- why didn't the
|
|||
|
379 craft and all its contents remain in stasis forever? Never mind, don't explain
|
|||
|
380 it to me.
|
|||
|
381 Small bits of flaming debris rained down on us. A few began to burn into my
|
|||
|
382 robe, as if that mattered anymore; it already had several serious char marks.
|
|||
|
383 A quick survey of the cabin- no one seriously hurt, hard to tell in the case
|
|||
|
384 of the alien, though. I helped the Innkeeper to his feet, he having fallen
|
|||
|
385 to the deck of the craft.
|
|||
|
386 My strength was still not much to work with, but the sleep had helped. I made
|
|||
|
387 a tremendous effort to remain upright, the Innkeeper now aiding me. "Anyone
|
|||
|
388 know where we are?"
|
|||
|
389 A rap-tap-tapping on the craft's outer door silenced me. I tried to smile.
|
|||
|
390 "Well, who could *THAT* be at this hour? Bard, are you expecting company?
|
|||
|
391 If I'd known this was going to be a social fgathering," I gestured toward my
|
|||
|
392 tattered robes, "I would have worn my Sunday best."

395 I've been looking at a limited archives, about 1 JAN 85 to 23 JAN 85- about

396 the time when Dangerfield gets his and Farley is inducted into NET. Level 4
|
|||

397 code is first introduced; Petrov is taken by the PPD Kinko Squad. I see

404 The piper brushed the sparks off his faded kilt. The chlorine atmosphere
|
|||
|
405 had faded the tartan so that the sett was almost invisible where folds had
|
|||
|
406 not protected the cloth. Carefully, bleach wasn'
|
|||
|
407 (oops, wasn' --> wasn't) very selective, it tended to attack the cloth as
|
|||
|
408 well as the dye. He licked his thumb and applied the moisture to a persis-
|
|||
|
409 tent spark that seemed intent on igniting the whole of his tattered clothing
|
|||
|
410 and began to look around.
|
|||
|
411 Most of the company seemed to be in good shape, the innkeeper nursing a
|
|||
|
412 bruised nose from a fall, Milchar helping him stem the pain. The field
|
|||
|
413 within the craft seemed to have prevented injuries within. Unfortunately,
|
|||
|
414 the same could not be said of the bard's vehicle. The piper hoped that
|
|||
|
415 the bard had propiated the appropriate gods with sufficient gold (they had
|
|||
|
416 just rased the required sacrifice rate or "premium") to enable him to get
|
|||
|
417 the vehicle repaired.
|
|||
|
418 With the rest, the piper turned to look at the door as it reverberated
|
|||
|
419 to the sudden pounding.

425 A needed recap
|
|||
|
426 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
|
|||
|
427 The Former stood on the white floor. It had been a few days ago that the
|
|||
|
428 metamorphism left him in this state. Dealing for a transporting device, it had
|
|||
|
429 led him to this spot. A faulty transporter had nabbed the Innkeeper and taken
|
|||
|
430 him to a place on this planet. Probably nearby.
|
|||
|
431 The device told him this was the site of the faulty transporter, and so he
|
|||
|
432 arrived to investigate. It appeared to be a home, an alien, strange home, but
|
|||
|
433 a home none-the-less. It seemed calculated for a six-handed alien, who could
|
|||
|
434 breath the planet's atmosphere; chlorine.
|
|||
|
435 The alien also experimented with transporters. The faulty transporter was
|
|||
|
436 probably an experiment gone wrong. Now it had to work though. For as the
|
|||
|
437 Former stood in this alien mushroom of a home, the Innkeeper and all the rest
|
|||
|
438 were at the mercy of the Bard's stasis field.
|
|||
|
439 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
|
|||
|
440 The Former let the panels operate themselves. Light blinked in random
|
|||
|
441 patterns. Dials turned of their own accord. Slides tugged this way and that.
|
|||
|
442 Phantoms of the Innkeeper and the rest faded in and out. A whistle rose in
|
|||
|
443 pitch until it all stopped.
|
|||
|
444 The Bard's vehicle was solid. The phantoms were now solid, behind the
|
|||
|
445 metallic walls of the vehicle. The stasis field must have been shattered in
|
|||
|
446 the transport. Everything was solid, and in motion.
|
|||
|
447 Leaving the panel to stand itself down, the Former walked up to the vehicle
|
|||
|
448 and pounded on it. No hatches or doors were visible. No way to tell if the
|
|||
|
449 party inside was safe or dead. No way t5o relieve the tension of the moment.
|
|||
|
450 Not until a stunned face popped out of the vehicle.
|
|||
|
451 "Hello?"

|||

460 To Prince Dragon:
|
|||
|
461
|
|||
|
462 Obviously you have not met my little buddy Sparky. He is what you might call
|
|||
|
463 "Creme De La Dragon". But I will agree with you on one point.. Dragons will
|
|||
|
464 not tolerate cohabitation with semi- mortals ON EARTH. In the cosmic void,
|
|||
|
465 they can be quite loveable.
|
|||
|
466 Of course, It is a bit of a trial, I mean, Sparky devoted to the destruction
|
|||
|
467 of the universe and me dedicated to eternal good, but once we cross that
|
|||
|
468 doorstep, our careers are forgotten. Youmight say that the time we spend
|
|||
|
469 together is "quality" time. It is not often that you find a Dragon that
|
|||
|
470 doesn't try to tie you to home and family.
|
|||
|
471 He also likes to fetch the
|
|||
|
472 Oregonian for me. In the RAIN yet!!
|
|||
|
473
|
|||
|
474 Give him a call! I'm sure that you could find lots to talk about. Right
|
|||
|
475 now he is researching for his Doctoral thesis on the subject of " Princesses
|
|||
|
476 in the Modern world; a Guide to good eats."
|
|||
|
477
|
|||
|
478 To the Author of the Book of Souls..
|
|||
|
479
|
|||
|
480 I would fain warn you not to give away too many of the Golden secrets.
|
|||
|
481 Things have a way of balancing out, and the power you allow others to posses is
|
|||
|
482 the power that you lose.
|
|||
|
483
|
|||
|
484 Beware!!

489 How often would you use this bulletin board if you had to pay for every
|

490 minute you were on the modem? Local phone companies across the state are

491 trying to make Local Measured Service mandatory.Businesses, service
|

492 organizations and people angry at enormous phone rate increases have already
|

493 collected over half the signatures necessary to stop Mandatory Measured Service

500 lurking today...Guardian, I got your message from nerd. Thanks!
|
|||
|
501 ....................................Entropy.................
|
|||
|
502 BEWARE! The truth about the Book of Souls has been revealed. The author is
|
|||
|
503 plagerizing from another well-known book on the subject. He or she is changing
|
|||
|
504 a few of the words but it is definitely taken from the source I found. This
|
|||
|
505 presents two problems. First off, the person entering these messages does not
|
|||
|
506 give proper credit to the real authors and their publisher. Secondly, the
|
|||
|
507 person entering these messages is taking credit for their creation him or her
|
|||
|
508 self. This is not the sort of thing telecommunications users need to have
|
|||
|
509 tarnishing their image. People who steal ideas and take credit themselves are
|
|||
|
510 a scurge on the good name of modemers everywhere and all steps should be taken
|
|||
|
511 to eliminate the problem. I would be glad to share the title of the book and
|
|||
|
512 where I found it if anyone is interested. Let us hope this so called author
|
|||
|
513 sees the error of his or her ways and apologizes for the plagerism and promises
|
|||
|
514 never to do so again.

570 seemed to have taken care of the worst of the damage, so only minor fires
|
|||
|
571 had resulted. The full extent of the damage (both to the vehicle and and
|
|||
|
572 to his finances) was just beginning to register as a punding noise drew
|
|||
|
573 his attention.
|
|||
|
574 He climbed over to the hatch and was about to open it when he realized
|
|||
|
575 that he had no guarantee that the guages next to it were registering
|
|||
|
576 properly. He couldn't be sure *what* was out there. Steeling himself for
|
|||
|
577 anything, he opend a small panel and cracked open a valve behind it.
|
|||
|
578 Well, the pressure was a close match, no major hissing. He gave a
|
|||
|
579 cautious sniff. Seemed ok... well...
|
|||
|
580 He opened the hatch and stuck his head out.
|
|||
|
581 "Hello?"

608 He couldn't do it. Cragmore strained every fiber of his psionic ability
|
|||
|
609 but it was no use. The alien either wouldn't respond, or it couldn't respond.
|
|||
|
610 Unfortunately, the inability of Cragmore to reach the alien did not mean an
|
|||
|
611 end to the screeching he felt in his head, a psychic noise akin to pure
|
|||
|
612 unadulterated torture.
|
|||
|
613 Slowly, his body came out of its self-imposed physical freeze, and his
|
|||
|
614 mind did what it could to thaw the limbs that had been dead to the world
|
|||
|
615 for the past few minutes. Pain. As his senses began to register the
|
|||
|
616 surroundings, nerves started carrying the after-effects of a body that had
|
|||
|
617 been tossed like chaff to the brain. Cragmore winced, concentrated, and the
|
|||
|
618 pain subsided, a bit.
|
|||
|
619 Opened eyes revealed a small disaster scene. Bard's ship was a mess,
|
|||
|
620 more than the usual dirty walls and unclean specimen bags. The inside of
|
|||
|
621 the ship was torn apart. Milchar, Innkeeper, Bard, Piper, and the hideous
|
|||
|
622 looking alien stood around, surveying the damage themselves, and doing what
|
|||
|
623 clean-up seemed appropriate.
|
|||
|
624 Sound came rushing back, and Cragmore could hear the words 'landed'
|
|||
|
625 and 'stasis' and 'my ship!' then a loud pounding, from somewhere outside.
