<zompist> (before they meet any new ones)

<Fernbar> and then the young ones beat them up

<Burger> especially people who will be cooking gnome stew tonight
<SoiledDwarf> soiled woman?

<Elfstar> You can't have it, Kemlo, you aren't there.
<Fernbar> that's why leth was cloning himself -- to get more shares
<Capalert> nah
* SoiledDwarf growls.
<zompist> blak: yup, you're hiding in the featureless void

<Capalert> he can take it
<Elfstar> Capalaert already has the spel..
<Bard-of-Stratford-on-Kemlo> will someone grab it for me, then?
