Well, by now I know it was our GM's evil imagination. And he was
the Puck that gave William Shakespeare the inspiration for his
character of that name in A Midsummer's Night Dream.
To misquote Neil Gaiman (Sandman), for a more accurate idea of what
_our_ Puck was like:
Actor: `I am that merry wanderer of the night.'
Real fairy, watching:
`"Merry wanderer of the night?" Raving homicidal
maniac, more likely!'
Our Puck was some sort of nature-spirit familiar of Ehran's - of
Force 16 or more, we estimated. And a real joker.
