My only comment is that you mentioned that only sentient beings are 263 affected by the reduction, and common sense is not one of my strong points. 264 In the sense of putting things straight, I will now set down my abilities 265 and weaknesses. 266 267 [1] Being a Berserker, I have an inborn ability to go into the battle 268 frenzy known as the Berserkergang. This is what makes a Berserker so 269 terrible in battle. The drawbacks of which, however are that once in 270 this state, I can't recognize friends from foes and everything tends to 271 become a target (clear out when this happens). Another is that the rage 272 leaves the wielder totally exhausted when it has passed, and able to 273 do very little. 274 275 [2] I wield Evilbane, a weapon of nothingness. It does not exist untill 276 I draw it, and does not obey any laws of physics or magic. It, however, 014=Usr:70 Kurfur Redlig 08/07/88 22:02 Msg:2042 Call:10003329 Lines:17 277 is useable only for combat. It also has a counterpart, Terrorflame. If 278 the two ever meet, all hell breaks loose. 279 280 [3] Most Berserkers, as well as Vikings, can sniff out intoxicants at 281 a great distance. They then almost allways drink themselves into an 282 unconsious stupor. I am no different. At the Inn, only the prospect 283 of dismembering smurfs kept me from acting so. A sleeping drunk 284 berserker is not only useless, but also quite dangerous. 285 286 I think that shrinking the members down was an unfair way to try and 287 limit the powers of the group. Whereas Hagbard and the rest have magical 288 or mental abilities (which don't decrease with size), I, on the other 289 hand, have only my battleskill (and that is next to useless at 2.5 feet 290 tall).

It was not without a good deal of strain 311 that he came to the conclusion that There was no such thing. 312 313 They approached the island rapidly. It was a large dark island full 314 of large dark sounds. The beach loomed ever closer> It was made up of 315 a long thin stretch of bolder strewn sand. Just beyond the sand was 316 an UGLY looking forrest. 317 318 "Kind of homey aint' it?" Arthur Brownie said. 319 320 "Looks like the kind of place sadists go for relaxation."

"I'll let you know 332 as we go." 333 334 But before the game could start the tub beached itself and everyone 335 started to exit. 336 337 "I guess we'll have to wait on that." The Inter-Dimensional Police 338 Officer said. 339 340 "Yeah, Looks like a job for superman."

And for some time, 360 I carried a 'drawback' : I had no physical body. Not until now, 361 but even then, my appearence is just manifestation. I am nt 362 'all powerful' or 'magikal / mental / physics feild effect 363 generator' etc. etc. I simply re-shape MY own reality because 364 I carry enlightenment. In return for this, I am not entirely 365 coporal in any universe. That does make for a slight drawback, 366 doesn't it? By physical standards, that is... 367 368 { On with the story ... } 369 370 I managed to manifest as gravity in this dimension. This 371 would allow something like a physical body, with a visual 372 presence, sound for communication, etc., but I was still not 373 entirely coporal. If I should assume a 'body', it would 374 require all of my energies to do so. Simply put, my 375 'powers' would go away, and I would look somewhat like 376 a normal human (except the glowing eyes). I decided to 377 stay with this manifestation and resume my lotus position 378 in mid-air. Some people were talking to me during this 379 time, and they agreed to come with me. Then I remembered 380 The Wonderer's quest, and pondered if it should create 381 problems for him. [Wonderer, I must know something of 382 your quest - if the Dark Lords are enlightened, that is, 383 'neutralized', will this affect you in any adverse way? 384 Bear in mind that if they are enlightened, this will warp 385 and re-form their very essence.] and so the telepathic messae 386 was sent. I did not mean to alarm the others with this, but 387 I sent similar messages to everyone, broadcasting like an 388 old-earth radio with a short radius, least the Dark Lords 389 recieve the energies and 'listen in'. The Inter-Dimensional 390 Policeman was current modifying his time-stream. I 391 found this to be disturbing; he was not aware of the abilities 392 that he possesed. Moreover, he was doing so at an alarming 393 rate - nearly instantaneously. I decided not to play mental 394 peeping tom & keep my new ethics intact. 395 396 This was not going to be 'easy'. It might cost me 397 the life essence - my very being - to arrive at the point in 398 the dimensional stream that I sought. But with so many 399 'fronts' covered - Kurfur holding the physical world, Wonderer 400 sheilding Majik on his own plane, and the Police securing the 401 time-flow (unknowingly)...I sought another vision, and found 402 myself alive. Barely. Only when the journey was complete would 403 I know. Even in my death. 404 405 I awaited the others to organize and give advice to themselves 406 and myself. 407 408 -fnord. 409 410 H.

The administration i 426 seeking to overturn a 1986 Federal curt ruling which limited Nixon's 427 right o block the release of his White House papers. The Justice 428 Department memorandum would allow Nixon to withdraw ny documentation 429 hethought should be supressed. In effect, Nixon would be in control 430 of U.S. history between 1968 and 1974. If Nion wins, it will pave the 431 way for Reagn to control U.S. history from l980 to 1988. 432 While alarming, this is merely the tip of the iceberg when i 433 comes to Reagan's mania for secrecy.Following are just three groups 434 that tred to warn us about what was happening; the nation's leading 435 press didn't think their stories were that importan. 436 PEOPLE FOR THE AERICAN WAY -- A report titled "Government 437 Secrecy: Decisions Without Democracy," published in December 1987, 438 provides more than 100 pages of well-doumented charges about the 439 growing secrey system and its dangers to American democracy. The 440 report "tells the story of the institutionalization of serecy 441 throughout the federal government .. the story of unprecedented 442 controls o information, not only on defense and foreign policy issues 443 where legitimate serets do need to be protected but on a host of 444 topics vital to our daily lives, from toxic wastes to occupatioal 445 hazards, from new technology to thehealth of our children." 446 THE REPOTERS COMMITTEE FOR FREEDOM OF THE PRESS -- In March, 447 1987, the Reporters Committee issued a "FYI Media Alert" abou how the 448 Reagan administration and itssupporters restrict public and media 449 acess to government information and intrude on editorial freedom. 450 The 50-page report, retroactve to March 1981, lists 135 specific 451 actions, including threatened prosecution of the press for publishing 452 classified information; expulsion of forein journalists; proposed 453 restrictive amndments to the Freedom of Information Act; proposed and 454 actual use of lie detectors, and many other cases. 455 THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION -- Th ALA released its 1987 456 updated "Less Acess to Less Information By and About the U.S. 457 Government: IX," covering 1987. The chronoogy, which was started in 458 1981, provids a damning indictment of Reagan administration efforts 459 to "restrict and privatize government information" whih has led to 460 significantly limited access t public documents and statistics.

It also has been charged that Bsh acti 485 arms sales because of an economic motive the president did not share 486 -- the desire to stabilize the dropping oil prices in 1986. 487 Peter Dale Scott, co-author of THE RAN CONTRA CONNECTION and 488 former seniorfellow at the International Center for Development 489 Policy in Washington, suggests that Bush's primary concernin early 490 1986 was tostabilize falling crude oil prices by promoting a common 491 price policy between the United States and the oil poducers of the 492 Persian Gulf, including, bove all, Iran and Saudi Arabia. 493 Further, Scott says, the interest in higher oil prices was an 494 explicit goal in some of Oliver North's secret ars negotiations with 495 the Iranians. The rice of oil reflected the concerns of Bush, a 496 former Texas oilman, rather than of Reagan, a free market advocae. 497 Scott traces Bus's involvement back to the January 17, 1986, 498 meeting of the president's national security advisers at which the pre 499 sales. The meetig was attended only by Bush and three other known 500 supporters of the arms sales intiative -- Chief of Staff Donald 501 Regan, National Security Adviser Jhn Poindexter, and Poindexter's 502 deputyDonald Fortier. 503 As the Iran-Contra Select Committee Report points out, Secretary 504 of State Goerge Schultz and Secretary of Defense Caspa Weinberger 505 were deliberately kept in he dark about the trip North took with 506 Robert McFarlane to Tehran three months later. Yet Bush not only knew 507 of the trip but he helped in scheduling t. In a little-noticed 508 message of Ari 4, 1986, Pondexter told North that, "If we can manage 509 it, the VP would appreciate it if the Iran trip did no take place 510 until the VPleaves Saudi Arabia. If that screws up planning too much, 511 then he will uderstand that we can't do it." The reques was honored; 512 the McFarlane-North triptook place a month after Bush returned from 513 Saudi Arabia. 514 Bush's mission o Saudi Arabia was to persuade leaders of that 515 country to help stabilize oil prices then rapidly falling to uner $10 516 a barrel. His trip was successul; Saudi Arabia King Fahd received 517 the ranian petroleum minister in the autumn of l986 and the two 518 countries agreed to OPEC arrangemens for boosting oil prices to $18 a 519 barrel. The $18 price brought economic relief to oil-producing states 520 like Texas which were the key to Bush's poliical base. 521 After the arms sale beame public, oil industry sources commented 522 that McFarlane and Poindexter understood the connection between a 523 strong domestic oil industry and national ecurity better than most 524 others in theadministration. 525 526 SOURCE: PACIFIC NEWS SERVICE, 12/21/87, "Bush ha oil policy 527 interest in promoting Iranarms deals," by Peter Dale Scott, pp 1-4. 528 529 696969696969696969 530 020=Usr:70 Kurfur Redlig 08/08/88 15:23 Msg:2048 Call:10003350 Lines:23 531 KKKKKKKKKKKKKKurfur Redlig | Back to Backwaterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 532 533 Things were brginning to get very strange. The uniformed one and 534 rude, small, brown person were engaged in a deck of cards, which luckily 535 kept their bickering to a minimum. Seeing this as the only understandable 536 thing in the whole scenery, I tried to look on. 537 538 "A young woman once tried to tell my fortune with cards before," I 539 commented, "but she fainted from the results. Is that what your trying?" 540 541 The two, however, ignored me, so I looked towards the dark island 542 we were rapidly approaching. Then i smelled it. WINEFRUIT. 543 544 Ignoring the warnings of my companions, I dove into the water, and 545 swiftly made my way to shore. Hitting the beach, I ran into the forest. 546 After many miles of running after my quarry, I found it, but it was only 547 a ruse. A black rock emanated the sweet odor, but no winefruit was to be 548 found. Angered, I lifted the stone and flung it further into the forest. 549 Only after my rage had subsided did I remember the loud crashings in 550 the jungle. My friends were in danger! I began to run back, hopefully in 551 time to help them, or at least join them in death. 552 553 KKKKKKKKKKKKKKurfur Redlig | Who's next????????????????????????????????? 021=Usr:104 Trokin Korka 08/08/88 16:25 Msg:2049 Call:10003351 Lines:28 554 283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283 555 James- 556 My character isn't overly powerful either, but being the last living 557 member of the tribe of the Lords of Light does have its advantages. All 558 Lords have a magical link to the Blue Pyramid's power source, a quasar, and 559 using the proper spells, they can do almost everything. BUT, even though 560 I am a Lord of Light, I am only the custodian, and have only been taught 561 the most simple of spells, enough to keep the Pyramid safe from harm. 562 Other than the Shield spell, which will shield anything or anyone up to the 563 size of the Pyramid (there is a drawback though, even though it will shield 564 something or someone against anything [including magic spells, and physical 565 weapons], it will only last for 7 minutes, and can be activated only once 566 every week), and the Transport spell (which can be activated at anytime , 567 and has no limit to usage or persons to transport, but it can only 568 transport people or things *to* the Pyramid, and not any other way), I only 569 know about 20 more spells, (not very many are offensive spells). Some of 570 them are useless in a battle (ie. Food & Water spell, and find Location 571 spell), and some will cause harm to me. I will try to keep my character from 572 becoming a god. 573 Trokin Korka 574 P.S. If I ask the Blue Pyramid, then I can learn any spells that my ancestors 575 knew, but I have to be there in person to ask, and I have to have a good 576 enough reason (believe me, *very* good), and it would defeat our adventure's 577 purpose if I was to vanish everytime a problem came up to ask the Blue Pyramid 578 how to get out of it (by the time I got back, most of you [maybe] would be in 579 worse trouble than when I left). I won't pull you back to the Pyramid in the 580 event of a slight battle though.

The fountain burst into light, 597 and there stood The vieled one. 598 599 I remembered what my master had said of him 600 601 "You must remember that the vieled one must never gain possesion of the 602 Orb, If he does great evil will occur." 603 604 "Is he evil then?" I had asked. 605 606 "No, not exactly. But the Orb is somthing he must never posses, but which 607 he will always desire." 608 609 "But why." 610 611 "That I cannot tell you now. You are not ready. Only when you control the 612 Orb will you be able to know." 613 614 "But I can not do that while you live!" 615 616 "That is one of the Paradoxes of the Orb." 617 618 As these thoughts ran thru my mind I examined slowly the figure that floated 619 above the Fountain. As his name would imply he was vailed in grey robes 620 that covered his entire body. 621 622 "So, You have finally come into your birthright?" He said, though it was 623 a statment and not a question. 624 625 "Yes, and I suppose that means that we had to meet?" 626 627 "Of course, I wouldn't want you to bear the burden without meeting me." 628 629 "I am hounered, but I have other things to attend to." 630 631 "Ah, yes the black ones are about again. I suppose you feel the need 632 to destroy them?" 633 634 "I only seek to eliminate the threat to the all, Destruction is of 635 course the least desirable of them. But if it comes to that I will 636 be ready." 637 638 "I know of your trouble with the Orb, If you give it to me you will 639 be free." 640 641 "You know I cannot do that, ti would violate the trust put in me 642 by my master. I can not shurk this duty now that I have taken it 643 up." 644 645 "Yes, you were slow in that duty. I sleeped for a good deal longer then 646 I had suspected. I started to think that perhaps your master had 647 made a mistake in chosing you. 648 649 "I'd love to sit here and converse with you for hours, but I really 650 must be going now." 651 652 "Very well, go then. We will meet again." 653 654 "Yes, I know." 655 656 I gathered my strength and eased away from the fountain and into the 657 all. I could feel my companions calling to me. I began to move towards 658 them. 659 660 To Hagbard. 661 662 The mission we are on now should not hurt my quest. What I search for 663 is a means to bind myself to the Orb. Here is as good a place as any 664 to look for this. 665 666 An Astral Dreamer. 667 &*&*&*&*'s 024=Usr:104 Trokin Korka 08/08/88 21:44 Msg:2052 Call:10003360 Lines:38 668 283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283 669 -WHOA! A talking lizard!-, thought Trokin Korka, -They're rare!- 670 Just as Trokin finished that thought the lizard lunged at him, barely 671 missing him. Trokin took off into the woods to get time to remember the 672 Fireball spell, one of the three offensive spells that he knew. The lizard 673 turned his attention to the short, brown guy, who in turn ducked and pushed a 674 button on the tub's control panel, causing all within the boat to vanish and 675 materialize up on top of the highest tree on the beach. The man in the robe and 676 the brown guy were the only ones up in the tree. 677 -That's it!-, I (Trokin) thought, remembering the Fireball spell, just 678 as the lizard spotted me again, and started towards me at an amazing pace. 679 "Nookidor Kenar Sonak!", I yelled, causing a blue fireball to launch 680 from my hand at the lizard, who dodged it. The fireball immediately hit on 681 of the large trees, which promptly burst into flame. 682 -Oh, great!, only 11 left-, I thought, -and if those aren't enough it's 683 by-by Trokin- 684 I opened my hand again, and another fireball shot towards the lizard, 685 hitting it in the tail, causing it extreme pain and anger, not to mention 686 a blackened tail. Its mouth opened, and I could see the 6" razor-sharp teeth, 687 which were hungry for my flesh. Its mouth snapped shut...on thin air, for I 688 dodged by a hair, even though its teeth nicked my shoulder. I fired another 689 fireball, which missed it entirely and headed out towards the sea. It hit the 690 ocean causing steam to flood up over the island, covering everything with 691 0 visibility conditions. 692 Just as the steam started rolling up on the island, I tripped in my 693 flight away from the lizard, landing on my back, with the lizard looking 694 over me savoring its victory. It opened its mouth, and I moved my arm up, 695 launching a fireball into its mouth, exploding the lizard. 696 I slowly got up and spoke the nullify my own spells spell, so I 697 wouldn't hit my companions with the fireballs. 698 -I can't use it again for one full hour-, I thought. 699 I rejoined the others, and the floating man asked me if I was ok. 700 "I'm fine, it's just a scratch", I said, which it was. 701 The Berserker burst through the bushes, and asked, "Is everyone allright 702 ?" 703 The floating man said, "Yes, but don't look so dissapointed that you 704 missed out on a battle, for that was only one of the many guards of this 705 island. There are many more, and some are more dangerous". 025=Usr:104 Trokin Korka 08/08/88 22:28 Msg:2053 Call:10003361 Lines:7 706 Just as he finished syaing that, a roar of the other guards of the island 707 was heard. 708 "We'd better get out of the open and into the forest, but it's going to 709 be hard to see in this fog and steam.

In that instant0my conciose mind 904 abandoned me. 905 906 An Astral Dreamer. 907 &*&*&*&*'s 908 038=Usr:104 Trokin Korka 08/11/88 09:19 Msg:2066 Call:10003438 Lines:39 909 283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283283 910 The Inter-demensional Police officer had fell to the ground during my 911 battle with the lizard, and the brownie was still in the tree. The Berserker 912 had stopped next to that tree where he was glowering very menacingly at the 913 brownie. We~t over to him to try and calm him down, when about 15 very hairy 914 humaniods appeared from the dissapating fog. 915 -I guess they were where the growl came from-, I thought just as they 916 advanced on us. 917 Just then, a bolt of white ligxt sxot towards one of them from an area 918 to my right. I glanced over there and I noticed that the man in the blue 919 jeans and T-shirt had reappeared and was weilding a white orb. Another blast 920 of energy hit another creature from the orb. The Wanduber's orb flickered 921 and he fell to the ground, out cold. 922 The floating man said, "Kufur, now's the time that we need you, use 923 your physical prowess to help defeat our remaining 13 enemies" 924 "Can you, Keeper use your blue vire do help use?", he asked of me as 925 the Berserker went to attacking 4 of our foes. 926 "I'm sorry, but I have to wait one hour, to reactivate the Fireball 927 spell", I said fighting hand-to-hand with one of the humaniods. 928 I punched qt my enemy and dodged his slow punch. -These guys are 929 strong, but slow-, I thought. 930 I yelled, "Kufur, use your quickness, we may have a chance." 931 The brownie jumped down from the tree and ran at one of them, trying 932 to wrestle0him0to the ground, which of course didn't work and the creature 933 carried him off into the woods. 934 I vanquished my opponent with an uppercut to his square jaw. I felt 935 extremely satisfied, when I noticed about 50 more of this baboon-like  936 creatures enter the fray from the woods. I looked at Kufur, who shook his 937 head sorrowfully. The majority of them went over to Kufur, who fought 938 valiantly but against odds which even a Berserker can't overcome. They 939 took him off into thu woods. 940 -Is there no hope?-, I thought as 20 more exited the forest, and 941 I decided to use the once a year vanquish all enemies spell. 942 I tryed to remember it, but twelve of the 20 attacked me, and 943 everything started to go blac{... 944 ...

I was 958 beginning to get frustrated, to say the least. My only option left was 959 to go Berserk, and my friends were about. Then one of the unclean 960 beasts began to prod0me and comment in his own base tongue. Being 961 slightly paranoid, I took this as an insult. That was it! The 962 Berserkergang came over me in an instant. 963 Drawing Evilbane as a spear, I flung it at the thing. The shaft 964 ripped througx his hide, and the impact force threw the monster a full 965 10 feet through the air. Evilbane then vanished and reappeared again 966 in my hand, this time as a greatsword. "Who's the first to die?", I 967 challenged them. 968 The creaturuc full before my blade like wheat before the scyth. 969 After hours of killing this nearly endless horde, they retreated into 970 the forest, taking my companions with them. With no more foes to slay, 971 I collapsed, unconcious among the hundreds of cbpsec, showing no more, 972 showing no more life than they. 973 974 KKKKKKKKKKKurfur Redlig | The quest continuessssssssssssssssssssssssss 041=Usr:532 James Of Cassand 08/11/88 19:45 Msg:2069 Call:10003451 Lines:24 976 !!!!!@@@@@#####$$$$$+++++))9)) 977 "Oh, my aching head!" The inter-dimension Police officer said 978 slowly sitting up. 979 980 "Where is everybody?" 981 982 In the heat of the battle the creatures had forgotten to pick up 983 the unconciose and hidden John0Eddyson. He struggled to his feet and 984 examined the surrounding countryside. "It appears they have been captured! 985 I will have to rescue them!" So saying he limped off into the brush. 986 987 Somtime later he came upon a much larger scenu of0carnage. And in 988 the middle of all the dismembered bodies he found Kurfur, Unconciose. 989 990 "Wake up, we've got to resucu the rest of the group. except the 991 brownie, no I guess we have to resucue him to." 992 993 But Kurfur continued to sleep, exhausted by the battle he had faught. 994 995 I guess I'll just have to wait for him to wake up."
