Daniel, through Adept, said something like this:

to
> fish it out he dropped it again, trying to catch it on the way down, =
but only
> succeeded in causing it to bounce and slide along the board as describe=
d.

        That would also explain the following passage in the rules of the Dragon Pass boardgame.

"16.13.1. Allying the puppeteers
- -..The puppeteers and four blank counters are placed in a cup. (Warning; = use
a clean and dry cup. Your opponent gains a significant psychological adva= ntage
if you drop the counters into a cup full of coffee)" (page 22?)

        More than one set of Finnish gamers (and probably other nationalities, too) have laughed themselves silly after reading that. AH or not, are the= re really
the kind of players who need to be told THAT!

One more thing. Somehow; I have never managed to think Dendara as an eart= h goddess.
In my books, she is a "good wife"-goddess or, as I like to say, Dendara = cult is a
training ground for "wifes for display purposes only - no brains, no will= power".
Considering this cult as a "copy" of Ernalda has never made sense to me. =

        I would make her a new name for Kralori purposes, though...

Death to Argrath!
