"Hello, I haven't met you guys before," a tall blonde bare chested man in a kilt says. Though he looks like could fit the part of a barbarian especially with his big spear, he speaks with more intelligence than is normally evidenced by such rough people. "I couldn't help overhearing your plans, and thought to offer my services. I'm specialist at information retrieval, here's my card." The barbarian flips a card onto the table: RATHAN BARBAR {son of Bob the Barbarian} (parenthesis indicate a indecipherable language) INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SERVICES to contact burn card in a natural flame Rathan pulls up a chair, orders a Tennessee Lemonade, and waits for their reply. [ADMIN: BTW folks, NO VIOLENCE is permitted in the Dragon's Inn. One can go elsewhere in this world (virtually anywhere in fact) and have a fight, even another bar, but not in the Dragon's Inn. It mentions this in the FAQ and MiniFAQ, but they have been getting posted less frequently now. Just thought I'd warn you. If you have some way of determining other's powers then contact me through e-mail and I will tell you. The card is magical.] -Morning Reaper _________________________________________________________________ |Under renovation| This Advertising Space for sale | |Should be done | Send contributions to: | |By late Oct. or | SWV3752@ritvax.isc.rit.edu | |May of '95 | | -----------------------------------------------------------------
