"Pleased to make your aquaintance," he said non-comittaly as they shook hands. Initial suspicions were reduced somewhat with a cursory glance into Eski's thoughts- but of course it was impolite to actually dig for something, and IXy had no reason to probe into him- yet. > "Well, Sir Amachiak has been telling me of the swamp monsters and >lizard things that have kidnapped his Queen, and I'd like to help; I >have some skill in magecraft.

What's our first step? Have the swamps been scouted yet?" "Well, some magical aid could be useful, especially after the last foray into the woods," Ixy whispered to Moria. Then to everyone, "An extra hand is always useful to have on a rescue mission." He turned to Amachiak. "About leaving you- apparantly one of those time distortions that run rampant here caught us. We were attacked, and we were unable to locate anyone else before we left. At least now we have a better idea of what we are up against." -- --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.
