That's what I thought was most likely. I may give my party's harrowed full 
control for the half-hour, then hit him with a really hard control roll as the 
manitou comes back, really PO'd.

Makes sense. Although  I'd figured it for a much later construction, it 
probably would have been built back in the WW time period.

Erg. Never been able to get Epitaphs up here (and mail-order costs from the US 
are pretty prohibitive right now). Ah well.

Hey, every little bit helps. It's nice to have a lisr where I can see other

"As I look back, I see that it had been a mistake to send the letter. If you look far enough back, you will find that everything starts at some minor point. Something small becomes something very big. Something simple becomes complex. A brief moment of time becomes the focus of a tragedy. The letter was the minor point - something of no consequence that became the start of something of... importance." - Paul Thorgrimson, 'River of Blood, Path to Ruin,' October 2001
