Ixy, still feeling the surface thoughts, noticed this brief communication. _glad thoughts go through the surface when read_ Ixy thought, _I better get that dagger out_ "RETURN!" commands Ixy, and the dagger shimmers and disappears from Grammulg, returning to Ixy's hand. To the observat, the dagger would be seen to be perfectly clean. >Moria stopped her attack at that instant.

I have paced a protective rune to it, so >even if you attacked, it wouldn't be hurt." > "WHY!? It wants to KILL ,can't you see, child?", shouts Ixy. [correction: ADMIN:the person posting stepped out of character for my person] Ixy looks over at Moria. "If you can tell me which tooth, and calm it down, I can probably help it." Ixy pulls out his morph-dagger and it slowly turns into a pair of tong-lke pliers. His other hand sifts through his belt pouch, looking for some restorative herbs. > "Well, Ixy, it seems that she is correct. The thing wants to kill, >but it wants to kill its tooth, which is aching." [obviously, this line would never have been spoken] > "NO! It's Grammulg, the hideous killer and feaster of squirrels. >Kill it!! KILL IT!!" shouts Amachiak from the ground, clearly more shocked >about Indigos and Morias words than the creature itself. [And probably Ixy's, especially since he successfully attacked it as well.] >And the Grammulg... Well, he has just risen his club and is about to bash >himself with it on his head... [this isn't correction, this is new:] Seeing the Grammulg ready to kill itself, Ixy turns to Moria again, "Will your spell protect it from itself?" he asks, "If not either you or Indigo better do something soon!" -- --Matthew Charlap ------------------------------------------------------------- This is STILL a test of the .signature If this were a real .sig file, something else would be here, not just a name.
