I said to him. I chased down 34 one of the patrons and got a clearer picture of what going on. 35 "So, you say a man in black robes stole a Pie?" I asked him. 36 He noded vigoresly. "Well, we can have none of that. I shall have 37 to do somthing about this. "You haven't seen a little gray tube 38 have you?" I said to him, but he seemed to be gone. 39 40 I was unfortunetly without a means of transport, but I couldn't 41 let this Pie steeler go unpunished. 42 43 "Hey, you. Stupid!" I heard a voice say. "Yeah, you. The one in 44 the bathrobe." I turned around looking for the source of the voice. 45 "Over here you idiot. Look in the tub." 46 I walked over to the tub an looked inside. It was only then 47 that I noticed the small brown man in the bottom. "Whats the 48 matter, Never seen a brownie before? get over here, I've got 49 somthing for you." 50 51 "Now listen here..." I began, but again the small brown man 52 interuptted me. "No, You listen. The chief sent me out here to tell 53 you that the tub is a fully equiped model 65-g, You do no what that 54 is dont you?" 55 56 "Yes..." "good, he also told me to tell you to be sure to follow 57 your orders. Now get going!" and so saying he dissapeared. "Orders!, 58 what orders!" but he had dissapeared. 59 I crawled back into the tub and started to examine it more 60 closly. it wasn't long before I had found all the controls. 61 Everything was fairly standard, with th exception of the small red 62 button marked find querry. "Must be a new feature." I thought reaching 63 towards it. 64 65 "when I pushed the button a huge whole opened in the ether. I could 66 see all those around me being sucked in. The whirlwind grew larger 67 and larger. soon engulfing the whole front room of the Inn." 68 69 There was a loud poping noise and suddenly I and everyone who 70 had been in the Inn were on a seemigly endless plane of glass. 71 72 A man in black stood in the distance, laughping at our dazzed 73 expressions. before I could do anything he dissapeared.

"That's the person you called the Lord of Destruction!?!" 96 "Yes it is!", said the Berserker angry at himself for letting the Lord 97 escape. 98 "No one can get anything done in two demensions", I thought, "but I can 99 call upon the power of the Pyramid to retrieve us from this!" 100 I then repeated an incantation known only to our tribe, of which I am 101 the last living member, that would take us all to the Pyramid. "Nashatar 102 Nickatr Poradati Pakanear", I yelled in the glass plane, which promtely 103 shattered the plane. 104 I looked around, finding myself in the familliar surroundings of the 105 central chamber of the Pyramid, surrounded by unfamiliar people. The 106 blue miniature Pyramid in the center of the chamber glowed recognising 107 my return. The entire group of adventurers from the tavern known as 108 Celene's Tavern was inside the chamber, looking frankly, as if they didn't 109 believe what they were seeing at all. Finally, the guy in the orange robes 110 111 112 said, "A long age ago, a group of the Lord's of Destruction split away from 113 the other's, wanting to do no more evil. Legend has it, that since they were 114 once Lords of Destruction thamselves, they every move that the evil one's 115 would make, so by knowing these things, they almost exterminated the evil ones. 116 But, by doing so, they vanished from my original plane, never to return. 117 Legend says that they all died out over 1000 years ago. But only they could 118 have built this Pyramid, and only they knew the incantation that he knew, 119 fellow adventurers, our friend is a Lord of Light!" 120 As soon as he finished they all looked very shocked, and stared at me in 121 a most unbeliving way. 007=Usr:104 Trokin Korka 07/30/88 12:03 Msg:1985 Call:10003036 Lines:3 122 283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283 123 124 008=Usr:379 Phoenix Polymorp 07/30/88 15:52 Msg:1986 Call:10003038 Lines:7 125 I sat and watched all this weird stuff transpire.

"But you have to be! Only a Lord of Light can speak 180 the incantation that rescued us from the two dememsional plane!" 181 "I may be a member of the tribe of the Lords of Light, but not all 182 members of that tribe are Lords of Light. I'm the last member of the tribe 183 still alive, but I am only the custodian of the Pyramid, only knowing the 184 most basic of spells that my ancestors knew. The Lords of Light have had 185 their souls, spirts, essences if you will, preserved though in the Blue 186 Pyramid, which has always been the source of their power, and is what gave 187 me the power to use that spell", said I. 188 All of a sudden, the Blue Pyramid glowed very brightly, drawing all of 189 our attention towards it, also signifing a large power drain for a very 190 powerful spell. I was not worried though, for the Blue Pyramid could supply 191 the power for a over a million more similar spells, and it recharges itself 192 by gaining its energy back, almost instantly from the core of a nearby 193 quasar. 194 Then behind us we heard a thud, causing all of the fellow adventurers 195 to turn around abruptly in surprise, just glimpsing a man in jeans and a 196 T-shirt fall to the ground breathing heavily, with the glow of the spell 197 that brought him to the Pyramid, and which from the looks of things was 198 going to do something else unknown to us, all around him. A blue lightening 199 bolt then shot upward from the Blue Pyramid, causing no damage to the 200 indestructable stone, but bounced backwards, spliting into parts, each 201 hitting an adventurer.

Then all hell broke loose. 275 First, a man in strange clothes appeared, reeking of Magick, and 276 promptly collapsed to the floor. Then, a surge of power began to pulse 277 through the blue pyramid, finally bursting into the room. It bounced 278 around on the walls, finally shattering into many small bolts, one of 279 which was aimed almost straight at me. I would have been struck if it 280 weren't for my battle instinct (the birthright of all Berserkers). With 281 blinding reflexes, I drew Evilbane (now a shield) and deflected the 282 blow.

The pain of separation was upon it, for it was still being 426 ripped apart by the strength of my nemesis. Cautiously, lest I alert my 427 quarry to my presence, I closed in upon the focal point of the crack, 428 and found the Dark One there. I prepared myself for my attack. 429 I sprung into the continuum, and caught him by surprise, so intent 430 was he upon his effort. This advantage didnot last long though. He turned 431 to face me and drew a sword emanating with dweamors of power. Leveling 432 this at me, he charged. Pulling Evilbane from nowhere, I deftly parried 433 the blow, and we were locked in mortal combat. He swung, I blocked. I 434 swung, he dodged. We went on like this for a eternity of timelessness, 435 untill my stamina proved the greater, and he was forced to draw back to 436 rest. Now was my chance. 437 I retreated for a second, and entered the Berserkergang. I felt the 438 power of the frenzy come over me, coursing through my veins, alerting 439 my nerves, connecting my whole being for battle. The Berserkergang drew 440 my senses into total awareness, and I instantly knew of everything 441 happening about me. Before he even knew what he was doing, I had 442 prepared myself for the Dark One's next charge. The force of my blow 443 shattered his blade, despite the magics laid upon it, and I was aware 444 of the crunch of the bones in his arm as they shattered under the impact. 445 He reeled away in pain, and attempted to flee, but it was in vain. In 446 the same fluid motion, I thrust Evilbane through his chest, and his 447 foul, black blood ran down the edge. As the victor of the battle, I 448 could command his soul to one task before it went on. 449 "If any of my companions yet exhist, go to them and do whatever 451 they say. By the laws of eternity, I command it." 452 A shriek came from the body, and it collapsed into dust. The life 453 force had left it to follow out my order. Exhausted by my exertions, I 025=Usr:70 Kurfur Redlig 08/01/88 23:38 Msg:2003 Call:10003119 Lines:9 454 let go of Evilbane, and it promptly disappeared (leaving the blood to 455 disperse midair), and I allowed myself to slip into non-existance to 456 rest. My last thought before I fell into nothingness was, "How are 457 people going to find me if I don't exist for a while? Who of my party 458 is left to try and find me anyways?". With that, I became unaware of 459 everything. I wouldn't exist untill I had fully rested from the 460 Berserkergang. 461 462 KKKKKKKKKKKKKurfur Redlig | So, what's happning with the rest of you???? 026=Usr:26 Mohammed Wassir 08/02/88 01:25 Msg:2004 Call:10003122 Lines:12 463 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 464 AN OPEN LETTER TO MISTER 'No Show' PARITY 465 466 Dear Hairball, 467 468 No excuse is good enough.

"Oh great ones, the Light of the Universe! Where is our 484 lost adventurer?", said I knowing that they would tell me, and also that they 485 know almost everything, if given enough time. 486 The Blue Pyramid glowed slightly while saying, "He is inbetween realities 487 , inbetween demensions, the exact area is hard to explain, but we have loaded 488 that location into our memory, and if you use the basic transport spell, it 489 will take you there, or retrieve him from that place". 490 Then, an evil, screeching howl started as soon as the Pyramid stopped 491 talking, causing everyone's hair to stand on end. Next, a wispy mist started 492 circling through the room, condensing into the phantom of the Lord of 493 Darkness, which then said, "Your companion sent me here to ask for your 494 judgement when he defeated me, so I ask, what is thy judgement? Let's get it 495 over with." 496 The man in the orange robes floated over toward him, and said, "This is 497 thy judgment: You are to return the Pie you stole", and the Inter-demensional 498 Police Officer looked pleased, "and after you are done with that, you are to 499 repair the damage that you have done to the multi-verse. After that, you are 500 to return to your dark plane never to travel between demensions again. That 501 is our judgement!" 502 The evil one screeched it's dark laughter, "I cannot repair the damage 503 between demensions, for I am only following orders, and it was not my, power 504 between demensions, for I am only following orders, and it was not my power 505 that caused the rip in the space-time continum! It was the King of the Lords 506 of Darkness that ordered me to do this work, and it was his power that caused 507 this damage. Even Trokin Korka, the last of the sickening tribe of do-gooders 508 that called themselves the Lords of Light, with the help of the distaseful 509 Blue Pyramid, would be hard pressed to win a battle over the King and his 510 minions, which number in the thousands, and each of whose magical powers 511 are equivalent to a Knight of Magick in the days of power of the ugly good 512 Empire of the Multi-Verse, over five millenium ago. This rip in the 513 space-time continum is just the first step in our domination of the 514 multi-verse. Oh! Here's your pie", and he flopped a round pie onto the 515 floor of the chamber. 516 With another howl, he vanished, never to return, the man in the orange 517 robes said, "This is much worse than I thought, the whole tribe of the 518 Lords of Darkness are almost too much for all of us together, including the 519 Berserker, but he is missing, and we need every sword and magical power in 520 the ensueing battle with the Lords. Trokin, could you retrieve him from the 521 Darkness of Eternity?" 522 I then spoke the return of Missing person spell, causing the Blue 523 Pyramid to glow very slightly, "A Nure Nee KoideaKombe Cishta!". 524 A pop sounded, and then the Berserker appeared on the floor of the 525 Central Chamber of the Pyramid, out cold. I went over to him, and shook 526 him awake, saying, "Yo! Wake up! We need you wide-awake". 527 "How did I get back?", he said very unbeliveing, "I was in the middle 528 of the Darkness of Eternity, nothing could find me in that!" 529 "Just a simple spell, but I must tell you, he wasn't the only one 530 that we have to be concerned about. 029=Usr:104 Trokin Korka 08/02/88 11:25 Msg:2007 Call:10003132 Lines:34 531 The Lord of Darkness that you killed, he was only their lowliest lackey, 532 the rest of the Lords, even with all of us together, are almost too much for 533 us all.

You know what the Lord of Darkness said, 536 you know that we are up against an evil that has threatened our combined 537 planes for longer than most of us have been alive, do you all wish to come 538 still and keep your planes safe from harm?" 539 "YES!", was the resounding answer from all of them. 540 "OK!", I knew that that would be the answer, "we have to go to them, 541 and not wait until they can get upto their full strength. Which means we 542 will be going to the stronghold of the worst evil that the multi-verse has 543 ever known. Everybody ready!" 544 Another resounding "YES!". 545 "Good! Then step over to the platform over there, and I will speak the 546 spell that will take us there", I said and watched everyone get up and go 547 to the platform. 548 "Wait, my child! We must tell you something first!", said the Blue Pyr 549@ 550 amid urgently. 551 "Yes, all-powerfull ones?" 552 "At the heart of their power is the Black Pyramid, our counterpart 553 in their universe, to destroy them, you need to destroy it.

Don't forget to touch the Black 556 Pyramid with your two index fingers while saying the spell, and good luck 557 my child." 558 With that I stepped in the dais, and the incantation to take us all 559 to the heart of all evil flowed frommy lips, "Konditr Getre Jouiandere!", 560 the Pyramid vanished. 561 The universe swirled around us on our way to the Dark Plane... 562 ....

His compatence was beyond reproach, everyone knew that. 568 569 He woke up all of his companions and walked back over to the tub where 570 the Brownie still stood. "And how are you feeling today?" he asked 571 deciding to try the soft approach. 572 573 "Rotten, It seems its my duty to hang around with an idiot who 574 travals around in a bathtub." the Brownie answered. 575 576 "Feel free to leave any time you like, I'm perfectly capable.." 577 "Of screwing up without me around, I'm well aware of that 578 fact." the Brownie said finishing the Int-Dimensional Police 579 officers sentance. 580 581 "Arghh, I should strangle you!" 582 583 "No, you shouldn't. If you did it would look very bad on your 584 record. 'Officer attacs messanger brownie, is beaten to a pulp by 585 said brownie." 586 587 "Look you short little Shmuck, I could take on you and ten 588 of your brothers." 589 590 "Really,? Well I wouldn't be so fast to talk if I were you. My 591 brothers and I are the best Brownie tag team wrestling team around. 592 We've won the champion ship 3 years running." 593 594 "Well," Eddison said stalling for time. "You dont play 595 poker do you?" 596 597 "Oh, not much." the Brownie replied slyly. 598 599 "Good!. We'll settle our differances over a good old fashioned 600 deck of cards." 601 602 "Sounds fine by me." The brownie said, pulling a deck of cards out 603 of his left sleav. 604 605 At this time a wailing broke out in the pyramid. Suddenly a black 606 raith appeared. It said it was the spiret of the lord of darkness. 607 The keeper of the Pyramid asked it many questions, and found out 608 that Kurfer the barbarian had slain it. Also it was revealed that the 609 Dark lord was only one of many, and was in fact one of their lesser 610 minions. The Stolen pie was recovered and stashed by John Eddison in 611 the glove box of the Model GSG interdimensial Tub as evidance. 612 613 The Group decided that the Evil forces must be destroyed. 614 615 The Keeper of the Pyramid had brought Kurfer back, and so he 616 asked all to join him in destroying the evil of the Lords of 617 darkness. 618 619 "Well, I guess it is my duty to go, maybe you should report back 620 to the Boss?" Eddison suggested. 621 622 "What, trying to weasal out of our poker game are you? Not a 623 chance. We've got a score to settle, and I'm not about to forget it." 624 625 "Ok, I guess I'll just manouver the old tub over there were 626 everyone is gathering." 627 628 The Inter-Dimensional Police officer moved the tub over with the 629 rest of the group. 630 631 The Keeper of the Pyramid said the words to a spell and suddenly 632 all were moved to another plane. Or, more accuretly they were moved 633 onto an endless ocean. Everyone fell into the water. The brownie 634 ran forward and pushed a button, causing the tub to expand to the size of 635 a large life raft. "Get going. I'm the brains, your the brawn. Help 636 those peaple in. 637 638 Eddison helped those who needed it into the boat, everyone fit 639 comfortably. 640 641 "Whoops!"
