[041] [325] [196] Thematically relevant lizards

Inside the snuff-box you find a small gold nugget and a piece of paper with a message scrawled in charcoal which reads: 'If you read this, it will mean that I have failed in my attempt to escape from the slave mines of the Lizard King. My raft is hidden beyond the gorge where the plain meets the river. If you are here to help us, please follow the river upstream until you see the mud huts. The slave mines are near by, but beware the Lizard Man guards.'

You fold up the piece of paper, put it in your pocket together with the gold nugget, and continue to follow the footprints.

The ground underfoot becomes rockier and the footprint trail you have been following disappears. In the distance you hear a faint rumbling - could it be the yawning of an awakening volcano? You hurry on down the gorge, but are stopped in your tracks by the sight of a huge reptile blocking your path. You stare incredulously at the armoured beast which appears some six metres in length. It is a GIANT LIZARD, and it sees you as a source of food. You must fight it.

GIANT LIZARD (Skill 8, Stamina 9)

AGH. You manage to scrape through this one only getting hit once, but you really can't survive many more of these fights unless that skill score gets fixed.

You step round the huge body of the Giant Lizard and press on down the gorge. At last the gorge widens out to become a grassy plain, and the hills are soon behind you. Not far away, some ten metres to your left, you see a pond where many birds are drinking.

Okay, putting this here so that it's somewhere a little more substantial and permanent than Twitter:

I solemnly swear that I will not step on a scale until June.

Get it? Got it? Good.

My work goals for today are far less ambitious, and pretty much just consist of finishing the book I'm reading and finally getting to tag-ins on a few EPs. Rawk.

So first I was like "Man, I'm bored. I should take my lunch break."

But then I was like "But I had McDonald's this morning, I'm not really hungry."

So then I was like "I know, I'll go visit my grandmother at the hospital!"

And then I was like "I will use LOGIC to quicken my route and cut across the grass!"

But then I was like



And now my ankle is swollen all to shit and I'm in a truly extraordinary amount of pain.

GO TEAM.
