Milchar sensed that this beast was something more thatn what was 31 visible, so he continued watching. 32 33 The great monster, the Bore, as much as told the strange man (called the Piper) 34 what the Arch-Mage had suspected all along.

Hedra 51 then draws his valiant sword, and swings it at the man. The man atempts to 52 stop the sword, but to his suprise, his sword is broken in half. Hedra then 53 swings his sword again, cuting off the mans head in his attempt. 54 55 The other man then runs away after seeing the brawl. Hedra then rushes over 56 to help the lady in distress.

Gerbils and Hamsters are over pampered, over- 176 protected, and spoiled rotten. They don't find their own 177 food, they don't make their own homes, and they can't even 178 get laid unless a human (yuk) supplies them with a broad. 179 It's pretty pathetic if you ask me. 180 181 What difference does it make who's better than who?

Not only was 212 the river cruise progressing beautifully, the lovely person PAM might be 213 waiting for them up river. It had been a wonderful adventure but it was 214 certainly time to move on to more enthralling company and conversation. 215 Now that the Inn had been tidied up, a round of drinks with friends old 216 and new would be most welcome. Perhaps very little exercise of special 217 skills would be required due to the boost from -CECIL--. Thanks so much 218 large and capable friend. (I hope!)((I'll bet if The Man in Grey had 219 been here the adventure would have been even more colorful)) 220 221 During the lull, while the duty rodents were resolving the on-going 222 issue of the existence of a supreme Ego, (as separate from the creator) 223 the ancient alchemist pulled the transmuter communication module from 224 his tunic. After flipping it open and tuning it to another trans-reality, 225 he began talking into it. "Aaron, I'm not exactly sure of the exact 226 passage to which you refer. None of them were in fact specifically 227 directed toward DEBORAH. You have no doubt noticed that, while some 228 seek in order to find something, others seek simply for the sake of 229 seeking. That's what makes for the glorious diversity of people and 230 ideas. Well I must return. I see events are continuing to develop." 231 232 Looking up to the cliffs above he noticed someone looking back. "Hmm, 233 where did I put my far looker.", he murmured. So saying he pulled a 234 gadget out of his tunic and put it to his eyes. "I do believe it's 235 Milchar.", he said aloud. Then cupping his hands to his mouth he 236 yelled up toward the overhanging precipice, "Come on down and join 237 us.

Somehow the attitude of his fellow 344 travellers -- a kind of "so what were 500 feet up in the air on the back of 345 what we thought was a sea serpent? Pass the pitcher of ale." quieted his 346 fears. Really, this fear of heights was very unmanly. How could he hold 347 his head high when it made him ill to look over the railing of a bridge? 348 After all -- it wasn't the fall that hurt -- it was the sudden stop at the 349 bottom. Nevertheless, he studied the billowing clouds above the deck, rather 350 than the view below as he moved forward. 351 Moving to the fore part of the deck, he could see very little exept the broad 352 swatches of color that were the creature's wings extending to each side. 353 Curiously, he looked back and saw another set behind the loop that held the 354 boat. Looking forward he saw a circle that looked like a henge -- a curiously 355 regular henge in exceptionally good repair. Perhaps he had harshly judged this 356 culture with so little contact. Such a structure could be built only by a 357 people well versed in the Mysteries. 358 Suddenly, he realized that this portion of their journey had come to an end. 359 The sudden solidity of his footsteps came as a shock. The deck of the vessel 360 was canted at a slight angle -- it was firmly placed in the bed of a small 361 valley. Looking for the serpent, the piper walked to the side of the vessel 362 and searched the sky and river. Leaning over the side of the boat, he felt 363 an unfamiliar weight swinging around his neck. Looking down, he found a golden 364 collar fashoned in the form of a serpent with its jaws firmly clamped around 365 its own tail. From the weight, the object was gold, it was too small to slip 366 over his head and he could find tno catch or hinges. Feeling a slight touch 367 of nervousness, a question formed in his mind. Could it really have -- ??? 368 As from a great distance came a reply. #YES LITTLE BEING, IT COULD# 369 pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp 370 "#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"#"# 371 HEY ALL OF YOU.

Thank heavens for the book titles 479 "Rossetta", that allowed me to translate the ancient writings into one of 480 the languages I did speak. There were some interesting stories in the books, 481 as well as several spells that might come in handy to someone who knew how 482 to use them. Playing the role of student, I wrote several of the more 483 interesting incantations down on 3 by 5 cards to study some more later. I 484 still had my voodoo doll, and a couple bottles of foul smelling substances. 485 When I felt the ship hit what I thought was our destination, I put away the 486 magic stuff into my pack, and went up on deck. Everyone seemed to be running 487 in different directions...some were quite obviously drunk, while the piper 488 was off the boat, no where to be found. I could't find Bard or apprentice 489 either. Anyway...I tried to tell some of them about what I had been so 490 engrossed in, but again, just as that famous crew member on the Dark Star, 491 my overtures were brutally rejected! "I should turn some of these people 492 into rodents", I thought to myself while thinking about the "Rodent Spell" 493 written on one of the cards. "No...I don't want to misuse this new power, 494 anyway, I might end up shooting myself in the foot!" 495 I then set about looking for the alchemist (he seems to have a good head 496 on his shoulders), and piper, who also seems to know most of the time 497 what's going on. I jumped off the ship..."How in the heck did it get all 498 the way up here anyway???", and went in search of the other adventurers. 499 $#@*$)@*$#@)$*@#$ L'homme sans parity qui perdu les autres )($#@*$#@)*$)@#$) 500 ================================================================================ 501 EITHER L'HOMME SANS PARITY SMOKES DOPE AT HIS TERMINAL OR I AM VERY CONFUSED. 502 EITHER THAT OR I SMOKE DOPE AT MY TERMINAL AND HE IS CONFUSED.

A small Fly spell puts him on the dry earth without 528 having to dirty himself. He sees piper scramble down the side of the ship 529 just before him. Milchar looks aroupnd at the valley, takes into account the 530 positions of the stars and planets, 531 finds the Nth root of negative i and concludes in a nonchalant manner, "I think 532 we're lost." 533 Piper says nothing, but examines the area closely. Another man looks down on 534 the two, obviously wondering what had happened, while carrying a three-foot 535 stack of 3 x 5 cards. Milchar says, "My spell books are more compact. Did I 536 hear you think of a Mouse Changing spell??" 537 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 538 --------------------------------(<>)---------------------------------------- 539 Sitting watching the events unfold I sit near the bow of our strange 540 craft. Taking a quick look at the display of my reality transphaser I see 541 that the anomaly of the Maryhill henge if just up the hill, less than a 542 quarter mile, we are in between it and the river. The Piper seems to hace 543 acquired himself a torc which fairly reeks of magic. Oh well, let's check 544 and see wheather the henge can be used for reality hopping... 545 ...As I walk amoung the huge stones I keep glancing at the small plasma 546 display, just a few more feet to the right, this ought to do... 547 ...A small rodent squeaks annoyedly as a double clap of thunder 548 accompanies my dissapearance and the my reappearence. 549 "Everyone! Quickly! while I have the way clear to the Inn!" I yell to 550 the others before I step through once more... 551 ...The rowan tree is pretty now that spring has brought new leaves, can 552 it be that the inn seems a more cheerful place than when I departed it? 553 The sign has been repainted, the windows cleaned, and all of autumn's leaves 554 and the fallen branches of winter cleared away, even the roof has been 555 repaired with new slates showing dark amoung the older weathered ones. 556 I feel cheered as I step though the door... 557 ----------------------(<>)The Traveller(<>)----------------------------------- 558 Man without parity who detests small animals, cute.
