From: zweldron@ruhets.rutgers.edu (Matthew Charlap) Newsgroups: alt.pub.dragons-inn Subject: [TW] Ixy finishes up and makes last-minute preps. Message-ID: Date: 15 Nov 92 18:00:08 GMT As Moria heads out the front, Ixy looks at his plate. "still a good bit left." He digs ionto his pack and finds a small water-proofed bag, and puts the left over into it. Tying the end up, he replaces it, and heads out toward the front. Seeing that not everyone as come out yet, he makes a final check over his equipment. First the daggers: their ever-sharp edges gleaming perfectly. both of them in excellent condition. Now the hand-crossbow. looking good. he cocks and fires it without ammunition. The cord is fine. 3 extra cords in the pack. a score of bolts- "A score? I thought I had 40!" he rummages through the pack some more and eventually finds them. "I must have misplaced those." He then places them in a quarrel case. One weapon left. he takes out a third dagger, before now unseen by anyone around. He glances around to see if anyone is watching. Only Moria is even in the street, so things are safe. He concentrates on the dagger, and the blade extends to a shortsword, then a longsword. the blade takes on a golden color. He thinks 'good. now return to normal.' and the longsword returns to the dagger form. He then quickly takes stock of other things: provisions, polish, rope, grapple, herbs, more herbs, etc. He walks over to Moria, and when she is done with her current task announces "I'm ready." -- This is a test of the .signature If this were a real .sig file, something else would be here.
