>Rhoan asks, "What can you tell us of your ex-neighbor there?"

	"Not much, I'm afraid," replies Mezlark, "except that I am not sad
to see them gone.  A strange sort they where.  I rarely saw anyone come or 
go, but sometimes I could see a light on or someone in the window.  Those I 
have seen are an odd looking bunch of misfits, Wasters I think they call 
them. I did see a guardsman visit once.  Sure, he was in diguise, but I 
still recognized him.  Sorry, no name, but he was a commanding sort.  There
was a lot of yelling that night.  Seen the actual owner only twice.  Once
he come in for something or other.  The second time was down in the Shunned
Center.  I was checking up on some merchandise I have in a warehouse down
there.  He was walking with some foreigners from the South, slavers and
drug traders I think.  Didn't see where they came from or went.  That kind
of company is best ignored.  That's about it."

	"Thank you very much, that is most helpful."  Rhoan said to Mezlark
and then turned to Azzar and Captain, "I think we should relay this information
to Kron as quickly as possible."

	"I agree.  He should be back at the Dragon's Inn by now."  replied
Azzar.  She takes out the amulet that Colin gave her and visualizes him.  "Yep. 
It looks like they might be back at the inn judging from the direction."

	The three adventurers set off back toward the Inn.

     Outside from the streets came many screams and shouts.  It sounded as
if the entire city was being invaded (and indeed it was).
     "Sir Firecat, I must leave this city immediately.  If I am detained
any longer, then I fear that I will never be able to catch up with Luthor
before my time runs out.  Hurry, we must leave now!" she pleaded with him.
     She began to gather up her things and throw them together.
     "Anyone else who wants to flee this city is welcome to come.  For those
who think that I'm a coward, please don't think of me too unkindly, but I
have too much to lose," she said while packing.

>ADMIN: Post your reactions... (hee hee hee, I feel evil)

Admin: Yeah, thanks a *wicked lot* Lath ole buddy ole pal!

Brycur is momentarily frozen by the Dragonfear, he has never encountered a 
dragon in all of his life, though he heard many a tale (many of which he
disregarded as boasts).  But now he could nothing but stand and stare in
awe at the massive and deadly creature which swooped down toward his party.

After the first pass, the dragon had killed Sal's horse.  Luckily someone 
yelled to scatter (Brycur could not recognize the voice in his dazed state),
he tumbled out of the way just in time to avoid the blast that would have
certainly ended his life.  Unfortunately the sudden movement, and the tumble
across the ground had caused some severe pain to rip through his already
injured ribs.  He laid on the ground for several long seconds, waiting for 
the single blast that would inevitably end it all . . . but it luckily did
not come.  

Brycur staggered back to his feet and drew his sword looking around at his
companions, and at the sky for the creature that could surely destroy them 
all.

Admin: Now where's that damn ring of dragon control I brought along, I know
it's here somewhere ;^).

Well, several people don't get APD-I for a couple days, and with the short
expire times on alt groups, there's a good chance few people saw it.  I
know that I didn't.  Further, an idea that affects the entire city of
Generica in a way that it affects all the ongoing threads, probably should
rely on positive acclaim rather than negative reaction.

Meanwhile, I don't think the Invasion is a fundamentally bad idea,
if properly handled.  I assume Nightstalker and company can deal with 
handling it while Mark is on vacation.

Meanwhile, I've been thinking of having 'Raelf discover a "leak" between
the realm of nightmares and reality, introduced by those goons who set of
their malfunctioning "time test" device early this summer, which is making
ripples of timewarp, reality, and unreality wash across Generica.

Fixing the rip (an adventure in itself) would probably not completely
eliminate that leak.  Maybe it will be impossible to completely fix, but
I'd be afraid of that - the presence of such a thing might make Generica
hard to live within.  Who wants to be in a place where the whim of fate
might shift you into a nightmare or shift your nightmare into reality?

Send me feedback, anyway, I won't do it if I don't get POSITIVE feedback.

Subject: [L] Lathan Receives the Note...Sort Of

        Lathan had just rid himself of the "fetch" when a paper
stuck to  his forehead.  He removed it from the cut on his forehead
and read it.  It was little crinkled and really bloody, but he
made out some of it.

        "What is this?  It reads more like a bard's tale.  I know

 It sounded strange...e-mail.. what could the stand for.
Enticing ... nah ... Entrapped ... hmm a strange puzzle."
        "Well here goes nothing", thought Lathan.
La, La ... Lathan began to sing an old bards song about his
hero, Huma Dragonsbane, as loud as he could.
        "Hey, I like this", Lathan thought as he sang more.

     Luthor, after writing the note and putting it inside his cloak,
listened for a response.  Then he heard something...it sounded like...
singing...
     "I think Lathan has gone insane or something.  He's singing inside
my cloak," Luthor said to Brycur while his eyes rolled into his head.
     Then, seeing the looks on the other people's faces, he explained
the cloak to them and how Lathan was trapped in there.
     "I could disrupt the magic, but he would probably be stuck in the
Astral Plane forever," Erik said.
     "We'll worry about Lathan later.  Let's just get moving before that

Organization: Economics, University of Adelaide

Posted on behalf of Dennis Brennan (djb6@midway.uchicago.edu)

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Time to start another thread (with luck!):

Karl THUMP-step_THUMPed his way down the gangplank of the _Greatwing_,
the Ydoinian vessel that had consented to transport him back to Generica
from the north.  HE made his way down the familiar Dragons Lane,
then northward over the bridge to Glorshanned Keep.

Ah, Generica.  Karl did not realize how much he had missed the city life
until this return.  The morning sun glinted off the Ceru and the proud
estates of Merchants' Hill looked as sophisticated as ever, a far cry from
the rustic farmhouses and orchards of Vascondy.
Perhaps Karl's own simple cottage remained as he had left it?

Finding everything in order after an examination of his home Karl sent
to see Melwis to offer an explanation for his abscence and, if possible,
resume his employment as quartermaster.

The merchant-duke was pleased to see him, and welcomed him inside his home
for tea.  Karl recounted his adventures ini Vascondy and apologized
for leaving without notice.

Melwis fingered his teacup as he replied.,  "Welcome back, Karl, and of
course you are welcome to pick up where you have left off.  But if my
understanding of your
experience is correct, I may have something different to offer, if you
will accept it.  For the past three months, since the unfortunate
demise of Count Yohasnn, this city has been without an envoy.  I had
been considering Yohasnn's son, but with your experience in Vascondy
and before, if I understand it, you might be a better man for the job."

"Envoy?  You mean a diplomat?  OR a spy?"

"Well put.  You are perceptive.  THe job, of course, involves more
of the former than the latter but an investigator's instincts are
especially welcome.  Do you accept?  Let me add this:
your salary would be augmented in accordance to your new position.  And there
are a number of amenities..."

"Such as?"

"For one, there's the official Generica Diplomatic Residence.  You would
move in, with your staff.  A cook, a butler, all the appropriate
services would be accounted for.  Generica must be made to appear
dignified and cultured in the eyes of foreigners, you see."

Karl did not have to think long.  This could finally be his chance
to kick back and retire peacefully, with the additioal benefit of
the luxury of an ambassador's position.  "I accept."

"Good.  We will prepare your residence.  It should be finished by the time
you get back."  Karl raised his eyebrows.  "Back from Pashar.
I need you to go down to Rameshan to escort one of their men up here.

well basically the people who ran 23 Parrish decided that they couldnt
compete with Rock Island for the "dressed in black and down from the
suburbs for a night on the town" crowd, so they started playing to the
yuppie market and eventually it was no longer chic to be seen there.  ok
with me because Parrish blew.  the garage was a venue for local bands,
but other than that it blew as well.  now if only promoters would
realize that Rock Island sucks to see bands at start producing shows at
the Aztlan everything would be great.

When the Dance Craze soundtrack was recently rereleased domestically (U.S.) all
of the Madness tracks were deleted. In there place are some misc. Specials
tracks.  This is the main reason I haven't bought a new one to replace my aging
vinyl copy.  The old version of the album is great, however.  If you're not
familiar with the old version, you might like the new version - it would just
bug me a bit too much not to hear the crowd scream "Madness" and stomp their

Anyone know if the UK version of this CD includes Madness?

Quality has gone down lately? Whatever! That's because you still insist on

bone, sinew, and more like butter, but it cuts through the ginsu one!
   Okay, so it wasn't borne of fire in the bowels of the earth, and
sure, it comes already cleaned (no stains whatsoeve), but it's damn good,
and only 29.95 with a whole steak set and cheese cutter! 
   Don't have another sacrifice without your GINSU II! You'll thank
me for it.
