"Bakr ibn Ja'far ibn Musa al Mekneshi." Bakr grabbed said body part and moved it around for a while, then greeted the other two. "May I sit here?" [if yes:] The fat mage casually glanced around the room to look if any of his Rat Quest companions were here (which seemed to be not the case), occupied a chair and started talking. "My three companions and I were looking for a rat that was said to weigh two hundred pounds, and after a day or so of fighting an evil wizard and hordes of Tunnel Crocodiles, we finally found it. It attacked me in the dark - I could only see its red eyes gleaming - and I had to fight it alone for a while, as the others hesitated, maybe they were reluctant to join into the fray. The beast sat on me and just barely did not bite me... I don't think I could have killed it alone, but luckily it was... sort of... distracted when the wizard we had defeated earlier came back. Then it got a bit complicated - the sewer was flooded, which made it more difficult to fight the rat and the wizard. I was in a really bad condition afterwards, but the rat was much worse off..." He smiled. "I don't know if there are more of the giant ones down there, but surely most of them are not *that* big. Why are you interested in rats, of all things?" >ADMIN: arsmith@lamar.colostate.edu is not going to be my adress anymore, I'll >be arsmith@nyx.cs.du.edu.
