This is just a couple of snippets from my encounter with Shake that he
posted earlier.
To set things up I had logged on to read boards (currently on vacation and only accessing
via 26k connection) Got a narrate from Shagrath about an orc locked into Dunland Vellum
and he wanted someone with high pick to open. After a bit of thought I decide
why not and eagle down there. I had just picked the exit and opened when...
Shagrath ---- Leaves DOWN ----
You follow Shagrath.
In an Underground Tomb
A hungry warg stands here, sniffing around for flesh.
*Shake the Orc* is sleeping here. <------ how often do you get to read this as a hobbit
The fog disappears.
A pack horse has arrived from above.

Shagrath closes the stoneslab.

Shagrath begins some strange incantations...

Shagrath utters the words 'braqt eaaf'
The exit up seems to blur for a while.
* S C>say let me stab
Ok.
* S C>
Shagrath begins some strange incantations...

Shagrath utters the words 'qahijf gsfal'
Shagrath sprays *Shake the Orc* with painfully bright, concentrated rays of
light.
*Shake the Orc* swiftly dodges Shagrath's attempt to pierce him.

*Shake the Orc* utters the word 'zabrahpdjatz'
*Shake the Orc* makes the earth tremble and shiver.
You fall, and hit yourself! <------ *ouchies*
You swiftly dodge *Shake the Orc*'s attempt to slash you.
* C HP:Wounded *Shake the Orc*:Hurt>e
Not sure if it was a set up or not but these actions were certainly a bit comical.
