References: <1992Jun30.200824.7833@rhrk.uni-kl.de> ADMIN: A few days ago, Luthor shrunk SunStorm in response to him being (somewhat harshly) told that his character was a complete munchkin. It seems that he has accepted his miniturization with grace and his reaction to the entire situation has been IMHO entertaining. > Luthor pulled a pouch of magical sand from within his cloak and walked > over to SunStorm.

I'm really dwarven sized now. Is it >permanent? > "Well my little giant, the magic that I used is not my own, but rather the effect of the sand that I used on you. It is tainted with the juice of the K'Ruta plant which grows in the swamps near here and no where else. Its effects are limited to this realm, so if you pass through that portal of yours, it will cease working. However, when you come back, it will once again take effect," said Luthor putting the pouch back inside his BLACK cloak. "Hopefully, this little trick of mine will make the natives of this place accept you more and fear you less. I will leave you like this for one month. If, at the end of this time, you decide that you want to go back to being 15 feet tall, I will use Shadow Magic to disrupt the effects," said the now-seated Luthor. "I'm sure that I want to be 15 feet tall. I don't need a month to think about it. Just turn me back now and we'll forget that this ever happened. I'll just take my sword, find my helm and my dragon and be off," said SunStorm while looking around the inn and still feeling a bit dizzy. "You'd be suprised at the advantages of being small and strong. Just ask a Dwarf. They'll agree with me. Give it time SunStorm...I'm only asking you to wait a month," said Luthor smiling broadly at the 4 foot giant. He turned to his friends at the table and told them of his plans. Love and Peace and Shortness, -The Dreamer- ADMIN: SunStorm, good luck in your new form. I look foreward to reading more of the trials and tribulations of the Littlest Giant.
