Through The Looking Glass Without Alice
By Nancy Formousi

The looking glass in the purple room allowed us to travel through. We did.

Almost immediately we were attacked by a giant spider. Duane and I killed it with one stroke each. There was 11 shiney pieces to share.

We lined up and marched through a door and down the hall. I like to march. We went 20 clicks. There was a door and the hall turned. We listened and then opened the door. A human mage attacked me with a magic bolt. I killed him with one stroke. There was no shiney things.

We left that room and continued to march for twenty clicks down the hall. There was another door and the hall coninues. We opened the door after listening (strange noises) and we find a crocadile man playing with balloons. He wants to attack us so Duane and I kill him with one stroke each. There was no shiney pieces.

We left that room and continued to march for thirty clicks where the hall turns and there is another door. Two demons crawl out of the door just as we approach. Duane and I kill them with some help from Rodamace and Dreg. I attacked one demon and killed him with three strokes. We search and find lots of shiney bits.

We left that room and continued to march for twenty clicks where the hall turns and there is another door. We opened the door after listening (near silence) and we were attacked by four zombies. I attacked one zombie and killed it with 2 strokes. I then helped Dreg fight her zombie and killed it in one stroke. There were no shiney bits.

We left that room and continued to march for thirty clicks where the hall turns and there is another door. A strange human named "Pote" (who apparently doesn't know what that means in Formousi) followed Duane around like a small, hairy mammel.

We were set upon by four small lizard-like creatures who can breathe fire! Rodamace casts a spell and charmed them. They then followed him around like small, hairy mammels. I must assume that the names he gave them meant "small lizard-like beings who are following me around like small, hairy mammels": Sid Poitier, Sid Viscious, Sid Caeser, and Cyd Charise. The first three turned out to be egg-carrying-queens.

We left that room and continued to march for twenty clicks where the hall turns and there is another door. We opened the door after listening and we spotted several giant spiders in the mass of webbing near the roof-floor. Sid, Sid, Sid, and Cyd burned the webs which burned the spiders. We found some (hot) shiney bits scattered about the floor.

Before we could leave the room and continue to march down the hallway, we were attacked by eight giant rats. This seems to be the choice food for lizard-like creatures who charge in to attack and quickly cook the rats. One of the rats had a small, shiney bit stuck in its fur.

We left that room and continued to march for fifteen clicks where the hall turns and there is another door. We opened the door after listening and were attacked by Shay! Duane quickly subdued Shay! and we discovered that he was very talkative and afraid of horses and people. So? I find a spiked shield and decide to carry it with me.

We left that room and continued to march for twenty clicks where the hall turns and there is another door. We opened the door after listening and found a room full of priests of Ix. They were very nice and decided to follow all of us around. They were very talkative about Ix. I despise them.

We left that room and continued to march for twenty clicks where the hall turns and there is another door. We opened the door after listening and discover a very nasty demon. The Ixains step forward and banish the demon. I still despise them.

We left that room and continued to march for twenty clicks where the hall turns and there is another door. We opened the door after listening and find we must fight six baboons. The Ixians are behind us (how I despise them) and we must fight them. The fire-breathing-lizard-like creatures assist Rodamace. I kill my opponent before he can fling any feces on me. I slew him with one stroke. The Ixian priest (despise) behind me praises Ix and I consider sending him to meet his god. We find 21 shiney things.

We decide to turn towards home. We march back. Though two humans are to be 'fodder' for some machine the Ixians are allowed to leave. I do not understand these people. But they are very nice and have lots of shiney things.
