This is exactly what I did, actually. I told him most of that information
would likely be back East deep within the Earth in a vault in DC should he
want to go look for it. He didn't.

And since none of my players know about The Net yet, they can't search for
information there. ;-)

This is what I was wondering.. I mean, is he still there? Did he die? Did
the Skinnys get him? And is a skinny really a harrowed anouk that feeds its
brain power by siphoning its own life-force away like a lich? (working
theory.. )

I was lurking around the Accumulated Rulings actually, and saw someone post
officially that this was a typo. Too bad - there really could have been an
interesting story with that one.
