hi!

I'm in a room at 1450ft, together with an Ancient Green Dragon (and a scorpion
<g>). Well, I pump all my lightning bolts into the AGD, then I move closer and
show him my Longsword (1d10) (+4,+6) ;-) . It doesnt't seem to be very
impressive to him. First, he sharpens his claws at my chain mail, which doesn't
do much damage (got 200 hp), but then he gets bored and blowes a gas on me,
which DOES DO damage -> RIP.

How can I get behind this one? I COULD run away, but...

BTW: What exactly does the starlight staff do, besides making light and
shriveling creatures?

BTW: How to pronounce "aghd"? Try "aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!" :-)

BTW: browsing th General Equipment List, I cannot find the "Lance 2d8 (+7,+10)"
:-(( . Well, couldn't wield it, so it doesn't matter, but it'd been a good
price...

Here's some data:
