If you want to accompany us, Great. If not, good luck! 108 ::::::::: 109 L'homme announced the car ready to go, and the bard proclaimed his gadgets also operational. As they all began entering 110 the car, a loud moaning and rumbling was heard, followed by severe shaking of the earth and other such disturbing events. 111 The nearby city was more-or-less leveled, and the surrounding topography was rather rearranged. As they all regained their 112 feet, the bard made reference to a 'ricter scale' and a 5 or 6. He then suggested that they make great haste to leave the 113 area, due to something called 'aftershocks'. They all hurried into the car (which was fortunately not damaged {more}) and 114 began to drive toward the road. Voyeur sat back and thought about something strange which had happened just befor the quake. 115 He had felt 'something', a kind of in-gathering of great forces, reminiscent of his experience in the auto-doc. It had 116 peaked just as the earthquake climaxed, then tapered off, until now he felt drained. (no, you dirty minds...). 117 As the car hurried on, the bard was adjusting his mechanisms, preparatory to another reality shift. Voyeur was uneasy; 118 that 'feeling' was coming back. "Better speed it up, bard. I think one of your 'aftershocks' is imminent." As the bard 119 turned, probably to ask how voyeur knew, it struck. 120 The car started bouncing around on the road, with L'homme fighting the wheel trying to maintain control. Suddenly a giant 121 crevasse opened directly in their path. L'homme slammed on his brakes and tried to avoid it, but the car slid inexorably 122 into the hole. 123 As voyeur felt himself fall, he unconsciously gathered the impalpable energies, and 'twisted'. The car seemed to be gripped 124 by some force even greater than that of the earthquake, was shaken, spun, and somehow turned inside-out (or so it felt). 125 It finally came to rest, and the battered and bruised passengers began to stir and attempt to regain scattered senses. 126 L'homme muttered 'now where am I. My Car!" He began to get out to check for damage, when Dreamtoucher asked, "do I smell 127 formic acid?" 128 ::::::::: 129 I love it! Okay gang, there's a wealth of possibilities there.

He looked in suprise at the 142 rather confused crowd. 143 " Yes, I know your plans. The noise of you talking about them woke me up." 144 He walked over to a table and sat down. 145 " I have three remarks - 1) I'll be glad to go 2) Can some one lend me 146 a short sword 3) Has anyone seen Dawg? 147 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 148 I'm thinking about introducing a new ultra nasty soon... 149 [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] 150 @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ 151 Fred thought for a moment at Morby's last question.

No damage done to either dog or bolo, so I readjusted and 157 stored my machine, and led Dawg back to his master. 158 "Now for more pressing matters. I deal in wepons occasionally, but I 159 usually stay out of the direct confrontation. If you all remember I got here 160 originally by YOUR attacking ME. And since it seems enough of you want to 161 personally dismember Gaius, have at it.

After no one offered to light it for him, the pipe 216 lit itself. He then rested his feet on the table. 217 " You like the pipe? It and the special weeds are my only magical items." 218 Dawg, looked rather run down rested came in and rested at Morby's feet. 219 " Before we leave on the quest for beverages, lets have a little talk 220 about religion..." 221 If Dawg could have only spoken, he would have laughed. 222 [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] 223 ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 224 ->Milchar: you were correct with the chessboard solution. (so correct, 225 do you have my source book?) 226 Regarding the coffee/sugar problem, since it is obviously impossible to 227 divide 14 into 3 odd groups, it is probably something offbeat like 228 drinking one cup black, then split the 14 into 7 & 7 for the other two. 229 Eve/odd infinity. I'm inclined to assume infinity is a prime number, and 230 is therefore an odd number, since the only even prime is 2. 231 (aside: I wrote an assembler program for the 370/138 at school, and got a 232 printout of all the primes up to 1,000,000. Got some funny looks from 233 the computer operators and my BAL instructor, though. Sigh. 234 Genius is rarely appreciated.) 235 ??????????????????????????? QUIZMASTER ???????????????????????????????? 236 && && && 237 Gaius laughed as he watched the Innhabitants on his interreality scanner. His plan was going just as planned. They 238 were all going to be so busy trying to kill him that they would never know what hit them. The weakening of the 239 reality-structure in the vicinity of Innisfall continued on scedule. Perhaps he should report the use of maxwell's 240 demon to straighten up the Inn. N might get a laugh out of it. Then again, maybe not; N was so unpredictable. 241 Ah, that's it, thought Gaius, I'll just stir them up a little more... 242 && && && 243 "Your mothers married their fathers!" 244 The cry from outside the Inn caused every head in the place to turn. "Hey! Wimps! Come an' get me!" The patrons 245 all rushed to the door to see who could be so bold. Standing before the Inn, under a strangely dark noonday sky, was 246 Gaius. "Come on, I'll take on the lot of ya," he cried, brandishing his shuriken. His form was far enough from the 247 Inn that none of the charging horde saw the faint smile that played across his lips as he watched them surge 248 foreward. tThis ought to be fun, he thought. 249 && The Mad Actor && 250 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 251 THE ARCHER HEARS A LOT OF NOISE OUT SIDE AND HE SEES THE MAD DUM DUM MAKING FUN OF SOME OF THE MOST POWER FULL BEINGS 252 IN THE WORLD AND RIGHT OUT FROUNT WAS THE WARRIOR AND THE APRINTICE.

WHEN THEMNAX HAD HASTILY DEPARTED FOR THE 438 CELLARS, HIS SHIP HAD BEEN PHASED IN AND ITS OUTER LOCK OPEN. 439 IN THE DUST AND CONFUSION, ONE OF THE MURAUDING SUPER-ANTS, HAD BLUNDERED ABOARD! 440 IT HAD AIMLESSLY TORE INTO THE CONTROL COMPARTMENT, FIRST SETTING OFF A MASTERBOT 441 WHICH HAD BEEN STOED IN THE AIRLOCK/CARGO HOLD. IT HAD BEEN LAST PROGRAMED TO PICK 442 WILD TOMATOES. IT ROLLED TO A STOP IN THE CENTER OF THE INN. SEEING NOTHING WHICH RESEMBLED TOMATOE PLANTS, IT SIMPLY 443 SAT THERE IDLEY. IT WAS ONLY THEN THAT DISASTER (FOR THEMNAX AT LEAST) STRUCK. 444 THE LESS THAN GENIUS CHETTENOID BLUNDERED INTO ONE OF THE SPACIAL VECTOR TRIMPOTS. THE SHIP TRIED TO MOVE WITHOUT 445 HAVING BEEN SHADOW PHASED AND STILL INTERSECTING THE INN'S EAST WALL! 446 BY THE TIME THEMNAX REEMERGED INTO THE INN'S COMMON, THERE WAS NO SHIP, NO ANT AND A RATHER 447 LARGE HOLE WARE IT HAD INTERSECTED THE WALL. WITH THE CHILDREN OF MAXWELL AND FINAGLE ON THE JOB, THE DAMMAGE TO THE 448 INN WAS QUICKLY REVERSED WITH NOT THE SLIGHTEST EVIDANCE IT HAD EVER OCCURED. UNFORTUNATLY THERE WAS NO LONGER THE 449 SLIGHTEST EVIDENCE THEMNAX'S SHIP HAD EVER OCCURED EITHER! 450 (EXCEPT FOR HIS OWN AND HIS ARTIFACT'S CONTINUED EXISTANCE). SINCE THE ENERGY FROM THIS EVENT HAD TO GO SOMEWARE AND 451 IT HAD NOT BEEN RELEASED AS PHYSICAL ENERGY IN THE REALITY OF THE INN, SEVERAL THINGS HAPPENED SIMULTANIOSLY. THE 452 DOCTOR'S TARDIS'S SETTINGS WERE KNOCKED OFF A BIT (SORRY DOCTOR, ET.C..
