Greg Costikyan presents classic dungeon crawling

Nick noticed a long pole sticking out fo the pile. He pried it out; other objects slid and tumbled.

"Be careful!" Garni said.

"Sorry. You'll never get this in, anyway." It was more than double Garni's height.

"Yes, I will," said Garni, taking the pole. He disassembled it; it came apart into four segments.

"What is it?" asked Nick, as Garni strapped the segments to the side of the pack.

"An elven-foot pole."

"Why eleven feet?"

"There are some things I wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole," said Garni.

Waiting impatiently for better days

No game this week. spoonyone has apparantly been having a pretty shitty week, as his brother Miles. So neither really was up for game...

And during the last hour of my shift, someone stole the key-coding machine from behind the desk while I was in back. So I was late getting home, and then was up late waiting to hear if the cops needed me to come back and make any additional reports...

So heres to hoping that tonight at the other hotel goes better...
