As you climb higher and higher through the cave, you see a light in a huge cavern.

Summoning Darkstar is not possible, as he already in this world, he is running from a fully armed and equipped HAB at the moment. HAB is said to be readying a division of something called the "Objective Interim Ultra-Light Repulsartank."

Your attempts to remove the indestructable door are stymied by the door's indestructible hinges.

The mysterious Brian the Fisherbear is carrying The Sacred texts of Munchikindom.

>| Spoiler
I haven't decided what happens when HAB gets to the borders of Darkstar's realm, crushes Sparky's realm and reaches HPCA.

I think the result will fall under the category, "Unholy Alliance of Destructive Power," but if we ever re-visit that, I'll ask Stuart and Skimmer.

You walk into the cavern, noticing that you are in a forest of mushrooms, with a river running through it.

Inside the fungal forest, you cannot see the light from the opening.

Some of the mushrooms are magic, some taste good, and some are poison, only Shroom Man the 777th can tell the difference.

Your joke makes everyone laugh, and you notice that the laughter is coming from closer to the light.

You find a hut at the bottom of a large waterfall. The waterfall seems to be coming from the mouth of the cave.

The laughter is coming from the hut.

Anyone have any idea where we picked up this stoner catapiller*, or what it's name is? I think it may have the munchies....

*ok obviously the giant catapiller was from somewhere in the forest of Mushrooms, but a Catapiller the size of a pet snake, whose carrying a giant catapiller sized Bong isn't exactly blending....

I'm guessing that the sucker can probably weave tie dyed clothing with his silk glands...

The caterpillar crawls up the bear's head and tells him that the great demon Berman has been slain.

The caterpillar no longer knows its name, it has been stoned since it was brought here long ago, when the cavern was blasted into the mountain to provide a way for the denizens of Ayesveeyes to reach Sadeen.

We do have a rather impressive collection of NPCs.

If anyone else wants to take over an NPC and play it like Colin does, just let me know by PM.

We're going to pause for a day while I await permission to use someone from the board as a character.

I assume you're talking about the skeletal minion? I don't think we ever gave him a name.
The Dwarve Roman Empire
HAB

You mean that they don't want better pay, better working conditions, binding arbitration and Just Cause in discipline? Those posers. :lol:

EDIT: I bet they haven't even formed a PAC yet. :P

As for named NPC's that are available for the obvious person to pick up we have:

Lord Wong, the kind and benevolent ruler of Sadeen
The Great Leader, the Leader of the HAB
I think I referenced Shep, Stas, and Hipper as well.

As for evil forces:
Darkstar
Stewie
The Elder Evil
