106 John Eddison watched as the island approached. It looked big,
|

108 Really big. Thinking about it he realized that it was much to big.
|
||
109
|
||
110 "What button did you hit?" He asked the Brownie.
|
||
111
|
||
112 "The one to the left of the glove compartment, just below the stereo."
|
||
113
|
||
114 "I should have known, thats the shrink all living sentiants down to
|
||
115 1/3 normal size button, why'd you do that?"
|
||
116
|
||
117 "Didn't want everyone to drown, as if that wern't obviose. Can you
|

118 imagine the liablity payoff the department would have to make to these
|

119 peaples next of kin!"
|

120
|
||
121 "Yes, I knew you did it out of compasion. Hmm, weres the return
|
||
122 to normal size button?, Seems to be missing..."
|
||
123
|
||
124 "Yes," the brownie replied " this model had a small defect..."
|
||
125
|
||
126 "A SMALL DEFECT!, Were stuck at 1/3 normal size and you call that
|
||
127 SMALL!"
|
||
128
|
||
129 "Whats wrong with being 1/3 normal size?, I dont suppose you were implying
|
||
130 that short peaple were some how deficiant?"
|
||
131
|
||
132 "No, nothing of the sort!"
|
||
133 "Good, you know how sensative the chief is about disparaging referances
|
||
134 to ones height.."
|
||
135
|
||
136 "huh, yes. But be that as it may, I think we are in a small bit
|
||
137 of trouble."
|
||
138
|
||
139 "Well, at least if we meet our end the rest of us will do it in real
|
||
140 clothes. You'll be going out in a bathrobe. How about that poker game
|
||
141 we were going to have?"
|
||
142
|
||
143 "Sure, I'm ready."
|
||
144 Suddenly a loud scream was heard from the island. standing
|
||
145 there on the beach was a huge Tyranesauros Rex, and it was outlined
|
||
146 with the glow of an anti-everything shell, nothing the group had
|
||
147 out would harm it. It began to move towards the 1/3 normal sized peaple
|
||
148 in the tub. Soon it would be upon them.

259
|
||
260 James,
|
||
261 If that is the case, then I should guess that I have been decreased in
|
||
262 stature. My only comment is that you mentioned that only sentient beings are
|
||
263 affected by the reduction, and common sense is not one of my strong points.
|
||
264 In the sense of putting things straight, I will now set down my abilities
|
||
265 and weaknesses.
|
||
266
|
||
267 [1] Being a Berserker, I have an inborn ability to go into the battle
|
||
268 frenzy known as the Berserkergang. This is what makes a Berserker so
|
||
269 terrible in battle. The drawbacks of which, however are that once in
|
||
270 this state, I can't recognize friends from foes and everything tends to
|
||
271 become a target (clear out when this happens). Another is that the rage
|
||
272 leaves the wielder totally exhausted when it has passed, and able to
|
||
273 do very little.
|
||
274
|
||
275 [2] I wield Evilbane, a weapon of nothingness. It does not exist untill
|
||
276 I draw it, and does not obey any laws of physics or magic. It, however,
|
||
014=Usr:70 Kurfur Redlig 08/07/88 22:02 Msg:2042 Call:10003329 Lines:17
|
||
277 is useable only for combat. It also has a counterpart, Terrorflame. If
|
||
278 the two ever meet, all hell breaks loose.
|
||
279
|
||
280 [3] Most Berserkers, as well as Vikings, can sniff out intoxicants at
|
||
281 a great distance. They then almost allways drink themselves into an
|
||
282 unconsious stupor. I am no different. At the Inn, only the prospect
|
||
283 of dismembering smurfs kept me from acting so. A sleeping drunk
|
||
284 berserker is not only useless, but also quite dangerous.
|
||
285
|
||
286 I think that shrinking the members down was an unfair way to try and
|
||
287 limit the powers of the group. Whereas Hagbard and the rest have magical
|
||
288 or mental abilities (which don't decrease with size), I, on the other
|
||
289 hand, have only my battleskill (and that is next to useless at 2.5 feet
|
||
290 tall). I hope that the size thing can be remedied.
|
||
291
|
||
292 Also, a Tyrannosaur is not a big enough challenge. They can be
|
||
293 easily outrun, and are not that bright. Split up and head out tactics

|
||
357 Interesting indeed.
|
||
358
|
||
359 By your standards, I have been changed. And for some time,
|
||
360 I carried a 'drawback' : I had no physical body. Not until now,
|
||
361 but even then, my appearence is just manifestation. I am nt
|
||
362 'all powerful' or 'magikal / mental / physics feild effect
|
||
363 generator' etc. etc. I simply re-shape MY own reality because
|
||
364 I carry enlightenment. In return for this, I am not entirely
|
||
365 coporal in any universe. That does make for a slight drawback,
|
||
366 doesn't it? By physical standards, that is...
|
||
367
|
||
368 { On with the story ... }
|
||
369
|
||
370 I managed to manifest as gravity in this dimension. This
|
||
371 would allow something like a physical body, with a visual
|
||
372 presence, sound for communication, etc., but I was still not
|
||
373 entirely coporal. If I should assume a 'body', it would
|
||
374 require all of my energies to do so. Simply put, my
|
||
375 'powers' would go away, and I would look somewhat like
|
||
376 a normal human (except the glowing eyes). I decided to
|
||
377 stay with this manifestation and resume my lotus position
|
||
378 in mid-air. Some people were talking to me during this
|
||
379 time, and they agreed to come with me. Then I remembered
|
||
380 The Wonderer's quest, and pondered if it should create
|
||
381 problems for him. [Wonderer, I must know something of
|
||
382 your quest - if the Dark Lords are enlightened, that is,
|
||
383 'neutralized', will this affect you in any adverse way?
|
||
384 Bear in mind that if they are enlightened, this will warp
|
||
385 and re-form their very essence.] and so the telepathic messae
|
||
386 was sent. I did not mean to alarm the others with this, but
|
||
387 I sent similar messages to everyone, broadcasting like an
|
||
388 old-earth radio with a short radius, least the Dark Lords
|
||
389 recieve the energies and 'listen in'. The Inter-Dimensional
|
||
390 Policeman was current modifying his time-stream. I
|
||
391 found this to be disturbing; he was not aware of the abilities
|
||
392 that he possesed. Moreover, he was doing so at an alarming
|
||
393 rate - nearly instantaneously. I decided not to play mental
|
||
394 peeping tom & keep my new ethics intact.
|
||
395
|
||
396 This was not going to be 'easy'. It might cost me
|
||
397 the life essence - my very being - to arrive at the point in
|
||
398 the dimensional stream that I sought. But with so many
|
||
399 'fronts' covered - Kurfur holding the physical world, Wonderer
|
||
400 sheilding Majik on his own plane, and the Police securing the
|
||
401 time-flow (unknowingly)...I sought another vision, and found
|
||
402 myself alive. Barely. Only when the journey was complete would
|
||
403 I know. Even in my death.
|
||
404
|
||
405 I awaited the others to organize and give advice to themselves
|
||
406 and myself.

415 REAGAN'S MANIA FOR SECRECY: GOVERNMENT DECISIONS WITHOT DEMOCRACY
|
||
416
|
||
417 On December 3, 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed Public Law
|
||
418 99-494 proclaiming 1987 "The Year of the Reader" The blatant
|
||
419 hypocrisy of that act wa clear throughout 1987 as the Reagan
|
||
420 aministration outdid itself in its efforts to control, interpret,
|
||
421 manipulate, disinform, and censor all form of information.
|
||
422 Typical ofthe Reagan administration's efforts to control its own
|
||
423 destiny and the nation's history was the Justice Departent memorandum
|
||
424 filed in a lawsuit thatcould enable Reagan to control the history of
|
||
425 his involvement in the Iran/contra scandal. The administration i
|
||
426 seeking to overturn a 1986 Federal curt ruling which limited Nixon's
|
||
427 right o block the release of his White House papers. The Justice
|
||
428 Department memorandum would allow Nixon to withdraw ny documentation
|
||
429 hethought should be supressed. In effect, Nixon would be in control
|
||
430 of U.S. history between 1968 and 1974. If Nion wins, it will pave the
|
||
431 way for Reagn to control U.S. history from l980 to 1988.
|
||
432 While alarming, this is merely the tip of the iceberg when i
|
||
433 comes to Reagan's mania for secrecy.Following are just three groups
|
||
434 that tred to warn us about what was happening; the nation's leading
|
||
435 press didn't think their stories were that importan.
|
||
436 PEOPLE FOR THE AERICAN WAY -- A report titled "Government
|
||
437 Secrecy: Decisions Without Democracy," published in December 1987,
|
||
438 provides more than 100 pages of well-doumented charges about the
|
||
439 growing secrey system and its dangers to American democracy. The
|
||
440 report "tells the story of the institutionalization of serecy
|
||
441 throughout the federal government .. the story of unprecedented
|
||
442 controls o information, not only on defense and foreign policy issues
|
||
443 where legitimate serets do need to be protected but on a host of
|
||
444 topics vital to our daily lives, from toxic wastes to occupatioal
|
||
445 hazards, from new technology to thehealth of our children."
|
||
446 THE REPOTERS COMMITTEE FOR FREEDOM OF THE PRESS -- In March,
|
||
447 1987, the Reporters Committee issued a "FYI Media Alert" abou how the
|
||
448 Reagan administration and itssupporters restrict public and media
|
||
449 acess to government information and intrude on editorial freedom.
|
||
450 The 50-page report, retroactve to March 1981, lists 135 specific
|
||
451 actions, including threatened prosecution of the press for publishing
|
||
452 classified information; expulsion of forein journalists; proposed
|
||
453 restrictive amndments to the Freedom of Information Act; proposed and
|
||
454 actual use of lie detectors, and many other cases.
|
||
455 THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION -- Th ALA released its 1987
|
||
456 updated "Less Acess to Less Information By and About the U.S.
|
||
457 Government: IX," covering 1987. The chronoogy, which was started in
|
||
458 1981, provids a damning indictment of Reagan administration efforts
|
||
459 to "restrict and privatize government information" whih has led to
|
||
460 significantly limited access t public documents and statistics. The
|
||
461 ew 1987 report adds 30 pages and 78 specific items to the case for
|
||
462 Reagan's mania for secrecy.

476 BUSH'S OILY ROLE IN IRAN ARMS DEAL
|
||
477
|
||
478 Vice President George Bush's acknwledged support for the
|
||
479 ill-fated secret arms shpments to Iran has been interpreted as
|
||
480 vidence of his loyalty to the policies of President Reagan.
|
||
481 Now, however, other evidence suggests that Bush, far more than
|
||
482 President Reagan, promoted the Iran initiative, took part in key
|
||
483 negotiations, and conferred upon Oliver North the scret powers
|
||
484 necessary to carry it out. It also has been charged that Bsh acti
|
||
485 arms sales because of an economic motive the president did not share
|
||
486 -- the desire to stabilize the dropping oil prices in 1986.
|
||
487 Peter Dale Scott, co-author of THE RAN CONTRA CONNECTION and
|
||
488 former seniorfellow at the International Center for Development
|
||
489 Policy in Washington, suggests that Bush's primary concernin early
|
||
490 1986 was tostabilize falling crude oil prices by promoting a common
|
||
491 price policy between the United States and the oil poducers of the
|
||
492 Persian Gulf, including, bove all, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
|
||
493 Further, Scott says, the interest in higher oil prices was an
|
||
494 explicit goal in some of Oliver North's secret ars negotiations with
|
||
495 the Iranians. The rice of oil reflected the concerns of Bush, a
|
||
496 former Texas oilman, rather than of Reagan, a free market advocae.
|
||
497 Scott traces Bus's involvement back to the January 17, 1986,
|
||
498 meeting of the president's national security advisers at which the pre
|
||
499 sales. The meetig was attended only by Bush and three other known
|
||
500 supporters of the arms sales intiative -- Chief of Staff Donald
|
||
501 Regan, National Security Adviser Jhn Poindexter, and Poindexter's
|
||
502 deputyDonald Fortier.
|
||
503 As the Iran-Contra Select Committee Report points out, Secretary
|
||
504 of State Goerge Schultz and Secretary of Defense Caspa Weinberger
|
||
505 were deliberately kept in he dark about the trip North took with
|
||
506 Robert McFarlane to Tehran three months later. Yet Bush not only knew
|
||
507 of the trip but he helped in scheduling t. In a little-noticed
|
||
508 message of Ari 4, 1986, Pondexter told North that, "If we can manage
|
||
509 it, the VP would appreciate it if the Iran trip did no take place
|
||
510 until the VPleaves Saudi Arabia. If that screws up planning too much,
|
||
511 then he will uderstand that we can't do it." The reques was honored;
|
||
512 the McFarlane-North triptook place a month after Bush returned from
|
||
513 Saudi Arabia.
|
||
514 Bush's mission o Saudi Arabia was to persuade leaders of that
|
||
515 country to help stabilize oil prices then rapidly falling to uner $10
|
||
516 a barrel. His trip was successul; Saudi Arabia King Fahd received
|
||
517 the ranian petroleum minister in the autumn of l986 and the two
|
||
518 countries agreed to OPEC arrangemens for boosting oil prices to $18 a
|
||
519 barrel. The $18 price brought economic relief to oil-producing states
|
||
520 like Texas which were the key to Bush's poliical base.
|
||
521 After the arms sale beame public, oil industry sources commented
|
||
522 that McFarlane and Poindexter understood the connection between a
|
||
523 strong domestic oil industry and national ecurity better than most
|
||
524 others in theadministration.

|

533 Things were brginning to get very strange. The uniformed one and
|
||
534 rude, small, brown person were engaged in a deck of cards, which luckily
|
||
535 kept their bickering to a minimum. Seeing this as the only understandable
|
||
536 thing in the whole scenery, I tried to look on.
|
||
537
|
||
538 "A young woman once tried to tell my fortune with cards before," I
|

539 commented, "but she fainted from the results. Is that what your trying?"

540
|

541 The two, however, ignored me, so I looked towards the dark island
|

542 we were rapidly approaching. Then i smelled it. WINEFRUIT.
|
||
543
|
||
544 Ignoring the warnings of my companions, I dove into the water, and
|

545 swiftly made my way to shore. Hitting the beach, I ran into the forest.
|
||
546 After many miles of running after my quarry, I found it, but it was only
|
||
547 a ruse. A black rock emanated the sweet odor, but no winefruit was to be
|
||
548 found. Angered, I lifted the stone and flung it further into the forest.
|
||
549 Only after my rage had subsided did I remember the loud crashings in
|
||
550 the jungle. My friends were in danger! I began to run back, hopefully in
|
||
551 time to help them, or at least join them in death.

|
||
555 James-
|
||
556 My character isn't overly powerful either, but being the last living
|
||
557 member of the tribe of the Lords of Light does have its advantages. All
|
||
558 Lords have a magical link to the Blue Pyramid's power source, a quasar, and
|
||
559 using the proper spells, they can do almost everything. BUT, even though
|
||
560 I am a Lord of Light, I am only the custodian, and have only been taught
|
||
561 the most simple of spells, enough to keep the Pyramid safe from harm.
|
||
562 Other than the Shield spell, which will shield anything or anyone up to the
|
||
563 size of the Pyramid (there is a drawback though, even though it will shield
|
||
564 something or someone against anything [including magic spells, and physical
|
||
565 weapons], it will only last for 7 minutes, and can be activated only once
|
||
566 every week), and the Transport spell (which can be activated at anytime ,
|
||
567 and has no limit to usage or persons to transport, but it can only
|
||
568 transport people or things *to* the Pyramid, and not any other way), I only
|
||
569 know about 20 more spells, (not very many are offensive spells). Some of
|
||
570 them are useless in a battle (ie. Food & Water spell, and find Location
|
||
571 spell), and some will cause harm to me. I will try to keep my character from
|
||
572 becoming a god.
|
||
573 Trokin Korka
|
||
574 P.S. If I ask the Blue Pyramid, then I can learn any spells that my ancestors
|
||
575 knew, but I have to be there in person to ask, and I have to have a good
|
||
576 enough reason (believe me, *very* good), and it would defeat our adventure's
|
||
577 purpose if I was to vanish everytime a problem came up to ask the Blue Pyramid
|
||
578 how to get out of it (by the time I got back, most of you [maybe] would be in
|
||
579 worse trouble than when I left). I won't pull you back to the Pyramid in the
|
||
580 event of a slight battle though. I enjoy challenges.

594
|

596 It came suddenly as I knew it would. The fountain burst into light,
|
||
597 and there stood The vieled one.
|
||
598
|
||
599 I remembered what my master had said of him
|
||
600
|
||
601 "You must remember that the vieled one must never gain possesion of the
|
||
602 Orb, If he does great evil will occur."
|
||
603
|
||
604 "Is he evil then?" I had asked.
|
||
605
|
||
606 "No, not exactly. But the Orb is somthing he must never posses, but which
|
||
607 he will always desire."
|
||
608
|
||
609 "But why."
|
||
610
|
||
611 "That I cannot tell you now. You are not ready. Only when you control the
|
||
612 Orb will you be able to know."
|
||
613
|
||
614 "But I can not do that while you live!"
|
||
615
|
||
616 "That is one of the Paradoxes of the Orb."
|
||
617
|
||
618 As these thoughts ran thru my mind I examined slowly the figure that floated
|
||
619 above the Fountain. As his name would imply he was vailed in grey robes
|
||
620 that covered his entire body.
|
||
621
|
||
622 "So, You have finally come into your birthright?" He said, though it was
|
||
623 a statment and not a question.
|
||
624
|
||
625 "Yes, and I suppose that means that we had to meet?"
|
||
626
|
||
627 "Of course, I wouldn't want you to bear the burden without meeting me."
|
||
628
|
||
629 "I am hounered, but I have other things to attend to."
|
||
630
|
||
631 "Ah, yes the black ones are about again. I suppose you feel the need
|
||
632 to destroy them?"
|
||
633
|
||
634 "I only seek to eliminate the threat to the all, Destruction is of
|
||
635 course the least desirable of them. But if it comes to that I will
|
||
636 be ready."
|
||
637
|
||
638 "I know of your trouble with the Orb, If you give it to me you will
|
||
639 be free."
|
||
640
|
||
641 "You know I cannot do that, ti would violate the trust put in me
|
||
642 by my master. I can not shurk this duty now that I have taken it
|
||
643 up."
|
||
644
|
||
645 "Yes, you were slow in that duty. I sleeped for a good deal longer then
|
||
646 I had suspected. I started to think that perhaps your master had
|
||
647 made a mistake in chosing you.
|
||
648
|
||
649 "I'd love to sit here and converse with you for hours, but I really
|
||
650 must be going now."
|
||
651
|
||
652 "Very well, go then. We will meet again."
|
||
653
|
||
654 "Yes, I know."
|
||
655
|
||
656 I gathered my strength and eased away from the fountain and into the
|
||
657 all. I could feel my companions calling to me. I began to move towards
|
||
658 them.
|
||
659
|
||
660 To Hagbard.
|
||
661
|
||
662 The mission we are on now should not hurt my quest. What I search for
|
||
663 is a means to bind myself to the Orb. Here is as good a place as any
|
||
664 to look for this.

|
||
669 -WHOA! A talking lizard!-, thought Trokin Korka, -They're rare!-
|
||
670 Just as Trokin finished that thought the lizard lunged at him, barely
|
||
671 missing him. Trokin took off into the woods to get time to remember the
|
||
672 Fireball spell, one of the three offensive spells that he knew. The lizard
|
||
673 turned his attention to the short, brown guy, who in turn ducked and pushed a
|
||
674 button on the tub's control panel, causing all within the boat to vanish and
|
||
675 materialize up on top of the highest tree on the beach. The man in the robe and
|
||
676 the brown guy were the only ones up in the tree.
|
||
677 -That's it!-, I (Trokin) thought, remembering the Fireball spell, just
|
||
678 as the lizard spotted me again, and started towards me at an amazing pace.
|
||
679 "Nookidor Kenar Sonak!", I yelled, causing a blue fireball to launch
|
||
680 from my hand at the lizard, who dodged it. The fireball immediately hit on
|
||
681 of the large trees, which promptly burst into flame.
|
||
682 -Oh, great!, only 11 left-, I thought, -and if those aren't enough it's
|
||
683 by-by Trokin-
|
||
684 I opened my hand again, and another fireball shot towards the lizard,
|
||
685 hitting it in the tail, causing it extreme pain and anger, not to mention
|
||
686 a blackened tail. Its mouth opened, and I could see the 6" razor-sharp teeth,
|
||
687 which were hungry for my flesh. Its mouth snapped shut...on thin air, for I
|
||
688 dodged by a hair, even though its teeth nicked my shoulder. I fired another
|
||
689 fireball, which missed it entirely and headed out towards the sea. It hit the
|
||
690 ocean causing steam to flood up over the island, covering everything with
|
||
691 0 visibility conditions.
|
||
692 Just as the steam started rolling up on the island, I tripped in my
|
||
693 flight away from the lizard, landing on my back, with the lizard looking
|
||
694 over me savoring its victory. It opened its mouth, and I moved my arm up,
|
||
695 launching a fireball into its mouth, exploding the lizard.
|
||
696 I slowly got up and spoke the nullify my own spells spell, so I
|
||
697 wouldn't hit my companions with the fireballs.
|
||
698 -I can't use it again for one full hour-, I thought.
|
||
699 I rejoined the others, and the floating man asked me if I was ok.
|
||
700 "I'm fine, it's just a scratch", I said, which it was.
|
||
701 The Berserker burst through the bushes, and asked, "Is everyone allright
|
||
702 ?"
|
||
703 The floating man said, "Yes, but don't look so dissapointed that you
|
||
704 missed out on a battle, for that was only one of the many guards of this
|
||
705 island. There are many more, and some are more dangerous".

706 Just as he finished syaing that, a roar of the other guards of the island
|
||
707 was heard.
|
||
708 "We'd better get out of the open and into the forest, but it's going to
|
||
709 be hard to see in this fog and steam. Let's get those two down out of the

854 It kept playing in my mind making it posable to 'see' what I missed.

855 In the dream Lehona looket more Elvish than human. Because she was a very

894 hairy humenoids. They seemed intent on destruction, and one headed towards

895 be. There was only one thing I could do. I pulled the orb from the small
|
||
896 'pocket' it was co~tained in and aimed it at the creature. A bolt of
|
||
897 power lanced out, hitting it in the stomach and doubling it over.
|
||
898
|
||
899 It feel to its knees and continued to sink closer and closer to the ground.
|
||
900 But I didn't have a chance to see it vall< another was charging me. Again
|
||
901 a bolt of power lanced out from the Orb, again a creature fell. This happened
|
||
902 twice more, I felt my energy level droping. Suddenly the Orb flickered and
|
||
903 pulled a huge amount of power from me. In that instant0my conciose mind

910 The Inter-demensional Police officer had fell to the ground during my
|
||
911 battle with the lizard, and the brownie was still in the tree. The Berserker
|
||
912 had stopped next to that tree where he was glowering very menacingly at the
|
||
913 brownie. We~t over to him to try and calm him down, when about 15 very hairy
|
||
914 humaniods appeared from the dissapating fog.
|
||
915 -I guess they were where the growl came from-, I thought just as they
|
||
916 advanced on us.
|
||
917 Just then, a bolt of white ligxt sxot towards one of them from an area
|
||
918 to my right. I glanced over there and I noticed that the man in the blue
|
||
919 jeans and T-shirt had reappeared and was weilding a white orb. Another blast
|
||
920 of energy hit another creature from the orb. The Wanduber's orb flickered
|
||
921 and he fell to the ground, out cold.
|
||
922 The floating man said, "Kufur, now's the time that we need you, use
|
||
923 your physical prowess to help defeat our remaining 13 enemies"
|
||
924 "Can you, Keeper use your blue vire do help use?", he asked of me as
|
||
925 the Berserker went to attacking 4 of our foes.
|
||
926 "I'm sorry, but I have to wait one hour, to reactivate the Fireball
|
||
927 spell", I said fighting hand-to-hand with one of the humaniods.
|
||
928 I punched qt my enemy and dodged his slow punch. -These guys are
|
||
929 strong, but slow-, I thought.
|
||
930 I yelled, "Kufur, use your quickness, we may have a chance."
|
||
931 The brownie jumped down from the tree and ran at one of them, trying
|
||
932 to wrestle0him0to the ground, which of course didn't work and the creature
|
||
933 carried him off into the woods.
|
||
934 I vanquished my opponent with an uppercut to his square jaw. I felt
|
||
935 extremely satisfied, when I noticed about 50 more of this baboon-like
|
||
936 creatures enter the fray from the woods. I looked at Kufur, who shook his
|
||
937 head sorrowfully. The majority of them went over to Kufur, who fought
|
||
938 valiantly but against odds which even a Berserker can't overcome. They
|
||
939 took him off into thu woods.
|
||
940 -Is there no hope?-, I thought as 20 more exited the forest, and
|
||
941 I decided to use the once a year vanquish all enemies spell.
|

942 I tryed to remember it, but twelve of the 20 attacked me, and

960 beasts began to prod0me and comment in his own base tongue. Being
|
||
961 slightly paranoid, I took this as an insult. That was it! The
|
||
962 Berserkergang came over me in an instant.
|
||
963 Drawing Evilbane as a spear, I flung it at the thing. The shaft
|
||
964 ripped througx his hide, and the impact force threw the monster a full
|
||
965 10 feet through the air. Evilbane then vanished and reappeared again
|
||
966 in my hand, this time as a greatsword. "Who's the first to die?", I
|
||
967 challenged them.
|
||
968 The creaturuc full before my blade like wheat before the scyth.
|
||
969 After hours of killing this nearly endless horde, they retreated into
|
||
970 the forest, taking my companions with them. With no more foes to slay,
|
||
971 I collapsed, unconcious among the hundreds of cbpsec, showing no more,
|
||
972 showing no more life than they.

977 "Oh, my aching head!" The inter-dimension Police officer said
|
||
978 slowly sitting up.
|
||
979
|
||
980 "Where is everybody?"
|
||
981
|
||
982 In the heat of the battle the creatures had forgotten to pick up
|
||
983 the unconciose and hidden John0Eddyson. He struggled to his feet and
|
||
984 examined the surrounding countryside. "It appears they have been captured!
|
||
985 I will have to rescue them!" So saying he limped off into the brush.
|
||
986
|
||
987 Somtime later he came upon a much larger scenu of0carnage. And in
|
||
988 the middle of all the dismembered bodies he found Kurfur, Unconciose.
|
||
989
|
||
990 "Wake up, we've got to resucu the rest of the group. except the
|
||
991 brownie, no I guess we have to resucue him to."
|
||
992
|
||
993 But Kurfur continued to sleep, exhausted by the battle he had faught.
|
||
994
|
||
995 I guess I'll just have to wait for him to wake up." (And for a new disk)
|
||
996
|
||
997 I'm at the Bottom!
