G'day all,

The Lunars may like to think that all of Aggar (the=  important/Lunar bits of course) are covered by the Glow Line.=  But do not forget the valiant freedom fighters of Kree Mountain.=  King Rascius may have been seduced by the Red Whore of Chaos and=  allowed the unleashing of General Roan-Ur and his Chaos Legions=  into the Autumn Mountains with horrific results for the locals=  but Orlanth and his kin survived the Great darkness and so will=  the fighters on Kree Moutain. (Rumours of the destruction of=  Roan-ur's vampire lieutenant, Nightwing, by a Lead Cross are=  being fiercely denied by Provincial Headquarters).

This is based on the last rumour I heard that Kree Mountain had=  been officially moved by Chaosium from Sartar to Aggar (events=  in Life of Moonson suggest this is still true).

And since I was the Humakti who retrieved the Lead Cross in one=  of the original tournament's teams the following thoughts have=  occurred to me. Firstly back in the innocent days of RQ2 you did=  not have to murder any healers [in the tournament it was just a=  matter of defeating a Ragnaglar priest and storm demon familiar=  (sent by Roan-Ur to get the cross first in order to keep=  Nightwing in line) and getting to an ancient holy place up in=  the mountains where the Lead Cross was stored - after all, once=  you had got it you would not want to lose it].

Firstly. Do you have to murder your own healers i.e. Chalana=  Arroy ? As a rebel why wouldn't you want to burst into the Queen=  Deezola Red Crescent tents at the nearest military base and=  murder as many Lunar healers and their patients as possible as=  part of your HQ.

Secondly. Once you have got yourself a Lead Cross won't it just=  end up in the tribal/clan/bloodline/temple treasury waiting for=  the next time. Do these things just fade away if not covered=  with Healers blood or actively used against undead ? Can the=  Tales crew answer why haven't the Lismelder done this quest a=  couple of times and solved their zombie problem a long time ago=  ? This applies to any HQ/super magic item surely. Unless the=  Hero who got it has to take it back on their death or after its=  use ?

I'm curious about this, Andrew
