"You see, when I was rumaging through the Motherspawn's tiny little mind, I noticed that the half-troll _wanted_ the monster. You don't. I don't. So, I gave it to Trawm. "Yes, that's right. I encased Blade in ice, then sent it via E.L.F. courier to Trawm's bar. Along with a mage who's placing runes around the wrestling pit so that Blade can't escape, much like he couldn't enter this place. "See? _That's_ a solution. Everybody's happy." [ADMIN: Thus the voting of Blade's return is solved. There were only a few who never wanted to see Blade again, but there were some who wanted to fight him again, some who wanted to question him, some who said he should return in a few months, etc. And this way, Trawm gets what he always wanted. I won't post Trawm's reaction to the E.L.F. crew, the runes, the block of ice with Blade in it, or the note saying 'Happy Birthday, from Indigo'. But rest assured, Blade is there. And he's not happy.] -jak
