[ADMIN:  It HAS been a while hasn't it?  Well there's a reason for that.  
	 Finals, Winter Break, and Real Life in general.  *SIGH*
	 Oh, well.  I'm back now.  Hopefully the writer of Tyrone's current
         sparring partner (Reinker the Younger ;)  ) will show up so my 
	 already-stressed out brain dosn't have to write ALL of this little
	 fracas... ;) ]

RECAP: Following the defeat of the blob-creatures, Sir Tyrone (The ex-Knight,
part-time Paladin, and full-time Wererabbit) split off from the main group 
in order to hunt down Coyote (one of the Guardsmen infected by Hendrix and 
transformed into a werewolf with silver claws and fangs.)  Tyrone managed to
locate the beast by invoking a power of his enchanted sword, but was unable 
to reach the beast before it slew several Generican citizens.  He WAS able to
preserve the life of Coyote's most recent prey, Chelsee.  The two lycanthropes
joined in battle, with the rabbit triumphing over the wolf.  (An odd turn of 
events, but hey, Tyrone's the Good Guy, ya know...)  After dispatching Coyote,
the wounded and bleeding Wererabbit made his way to the unconscious Chelsee 
with the intention of getting her (and himself!) to the nearest temple for 
clerical aid.  Unfortunately, Gortok the Undwarf chose that moment to come 
upon the scene.  Seeing a large and obviously inhuman (or indwarvish) beast 
standing over the unconcious woman, Gortok leapt to a conclusion and charged,
his large (and silver-bladed) battleaxe shining in the last rays of twilight...


     What in Tyr's name?  Thought the very surprised Wererabbit as he dodged an
axe aimed at his midsection.  Leaping back six feet or so, Tyrone finally got
a chance to exaine this new threat. 
     His opponent was by almost all criteria a Dwarf.  He had the stumpy 
limbs often associated with Dwarvenkind, and his long beard added weight to 
that assumption.  But this "Dwarf" was almost as tall as Tyrone in human form!
     The harried ex-knight had little time to ponder the complexities of his 
attacker's form because, with a fierce yell, the axe-wielding demi-human leapt
to the attack once more.  Tyrone's dodge was a fraction slower this time, and 
he cried out as he felt the burn of a silver weapon nick his side.  
     Mustering his failing strength, Tyrone braced himself and kicked out with
his powerful legs.  His timing was sufficent, and the blow struck the "Dwarf"
hard in the gut.  Taking advantage of his opponent's momentary weakness, 
Tyrone scrambled to reach the Great Sword of Rabbitkind which had been dropped
at the conclusion of the battle with Coyote.  
     Grasping its dark green hilt firmly, Tyrone raised his glowing orange sword
and invoked its powers of Detect Evil.  When his vision showed not the sickly
green glow of an evil being, Tyrone realized that this battle was all a 
misunderstanding.  He also saw a possible solution....

[ADMIN 2:  Ok, I believe its Matt Reinker's turn to present how Gotok the
	   Undwarf views this situation.  And any new Bladers who want to take
	   this oppurtunity to ontroduce themselves are welcome as well.  Since
	   it seems that the BLADE thread's ranks have been depleted since 
	   November, an infusion of new blood could be useful]
