>>>>>[Humanis? Don't insult me. And neither am I associated with Alamos
2000 or any such similar organization. But neither do I claim to be
lily-white and pure.

BigDaddy will live. I did not kill him, but merely taught him a lesson
about swimming in the big pool with the big fishes; a trout is a mere snack
to a great white. On the other hand, as long as the trout doesn't bother
the shark, the trout stays safe.]<<<<<

what *may* be coming your way.]<<<<<

while I send others to perform the test. Immediately begin the Ritual of
War upon yourself on arrival. We have much to do.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Like it? Heh, you seriously think that I'm going to believe it
was anything but a pathetic staged little play? If that is the best you
can do, I am amazed that anyone considers you a threat. Oh very
impressive puking darkness, very impressive, I learned that in
kindergarten. You will learn that your tricks and showmanship will mean
nothing if you come for us Stranger. Do yourself a favour and stay in
your own little world, you aren't big enough to play with us.]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: Ahriman
>>>>>[I'm hurt Ahriman. I did all the drama and the staging and even
scripted a few things out, just for you! And now you say you didn't like
it. Why, I think I'll go and cry!

You mean you learned Slay Trolls in kindergarten too? My my, here I
thought we'd never have anything in common. Wow, will you marry me? We're
so much of a matched set I just *know* we'd be perfect together!]<<<<<

*****PRIVATE: the Dark Stranger
>>>>>[No Stranger, I wasn't impressed, or amused. It was a rather sad
and contrived little show. No I didn't learn to slay trolls - a troll
who appears to be very much alive - I think you need to fix your spells
old bean. I learned the spell to kill something far more interesting
and bothersome than some trog. Why waste power when a bullet will do
the job with a lot less trouble? Oh, and Unless your tastes run to
homosexuality, I don't think a marriage between us will work out very
well. So you'll understand if I decline. Though I do know of someone
who would be interested in a new pet. It seems they are tired of their
current plaything.]<<<<<
