We're just fighting a bunch of gobolds. They haven't been very cooperative.

Phew... *trying to pull herself together*
Do you think all the Gobolds have 
s? If so, shouldn't we make sure to find them before anyone else does, and tries to use them again?
*looks towards the hill top* Is Bamm Bamm the last Gobold to still be alive? What about the one that knocked me over earlier? Did anyone see where he went? I can't remember if it was Fred or Barney
Adn the one we buried - he might have been carrying a too...

I say we get all of them but that's just me.

Heck, I can never tell what this thing will fire anyway, so who knows if it will knock him out or give him an escape device. Firing is kind of like letting fate decide his fate.

*notices the colour of the poker chips*
You're hurling £1000 chips at them!
Got any more?

*spits out the small wad of PAG he was chewing. Accidentally hits G7 with it.*
Oh, sorry!

*on the hill*
...rock rock rock rock......ROCK!
*Looks around as if searching for something. Sees a group of figures on the far side of the river. Squints. Sees Gw7en and nods in recognition, gets up and starts down the hill towards her.*

*Helps GDZ pull off the rest of the silly string*
Some of us are soaking wet. We ought to go back to the last camp area -- I bet the fire has some life in it, and we can dry off, get a cup of tea, and try to figure out what's happening.

*Still back at the camp, trying to undo the Gord-IAN knot.*
You're right, Witty. That pun was brewing for a long time. IAN was created specifically for it. But I can't take all the credit - it was a joint effort between Red Dog and me.

Amos the Ranchhand (and Driver) Posted Mar 4, 2004
*the battle has been taking place at night, under a full moon (the other moon being new)*
*on the southern horizon, dawn is waking, rosy-fingered*
*Amos awakes and sits up too abruptly*
SPLASHHHHHHH!

Garius Lupus Posted Mar 4, 2004
*Sees a huge orchid fall off the red carpet into the water.*

Bamm Bamm the Gobold Posted Mar 4, 2004
*Gets to the edge of the river and sees Gw7en on the other side.*
...rock rock ROCK, rock rock ROCK, rock rock ROCK...
*Looks at G7. Looks at the river. Looks at G7. Jumps in the river.*
SSSSSPPPPPLLLLLAAAASSSSHHHHH!!!!!!
*Is surprised when he sinks to the bottom. Feels the two stones in his pockets. Some distant part of his mind realizes that the stones made him sink. Thinks: Mine! Starts walking.*
...rock, gurgle, rock, gurgle, rock...
*Bubbles on the surface start advancing towards the shore. They get about half-way across the river before stopping.*

Garius Lupus Posted Mar 4, 2004
*Sees the sun come up. Stretches and yawns 
*
Man, I could sure use some breakfast. Wish those guys would come back with the raft.
*Starts to stir up the fire. Goes off into the jungle to get some firewood. As he walks away, it can be seen that his back is mostly covered with orchids.*

Thanks Lil! OK, all aboard!
*When everyone is aboard, starts the raft moving back at a semi-leisurely pace.*

*watches Bamm-Bamm's... "approach" with some amount of confusion*
IAN, is that normal behaviour?

Bamm Bamm the Gobold Posted Mar 4, 2004
*Just before he blacks-out, Bamm Bamm looks up and sees an orchid-covered human shape float by*

Ivana A Nestle Posted Mar 4, 2004
Gw7en, I don't think that is anything remotely approaching normal even for a Gobold. His must be malfunctioning.
*watches Amos float by*
....... tell me that's not normal either !
