The ice-capped mountains are painted in such detail that you could probably count the individual snowflakes if you had a mind to. Actually, that seems like a good idea. One...two...three...hmm.

If the artist was trying to make this thing beautiful, he should be executed. The monochromaticity of the bronze only adds to this hideous beast's ugliness, with its lower jaw jutting out, its too-long, twisted horns, and generally stupid appearance. Yeccch.

Of course, midair plants are not easily found, but that's neither here nor there. ~ S #24818 Welmar's Left Foot~ Perhaps this painting was just a wee bit more interesting than it looked. You are standing at the foot of King Welmar. A three-hundred-foot tall King Welmar. His foot alone is as big as ten of you!

A priest solemnly eulogizes the new occupant. Or it seems as though he is. His lips are moving, but you don't hear anything. As you watch, the priest, and then the rest of the mourners shimmer and fade into nothingness, leaving only yourself with an open grave. *gulp* ~ 0 4 1 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24864 S #24822 Danishes N Donuts~ The freshly baked bread in the back of this store makes your mouth start to water in anticipation.

Strangely, though, it is not hot. It's actually pleasantly warm. Ahhhhhhhh. ~ S #24825 Indigo~ You just missed the dusk here, apparently. The sky is a thick dark blue, with a hint of violet. The moon is not out tonight, leaving you with a clear view of the night sky. Numerous trees surround you, laden with blueberries larger than any berries you've seen. A small pond lies quietly off in the distance, undisturbed by the wind that ruffles your clothes and hair. ~ 0 0 2 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24827 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24823 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24829 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24830 R M 0 24808 1 24825 R E 1 24806 1 16 E pond~ The dark blue sky reflects onto the pond beautifully, and its cool waters entice you. Feel like a swim? Too bad. You wouldn't be able to reach it. ~ S #24826 Orange~ You find yourself walking through a beautiful forest. Somehow the season has changed to fall, as evidenced by the numerous hues of orange on the leaves of the trees. The dirt you stand on is a deep reddish orange, with many paw prints lining the path. The bark of the trees has somehow been changed into a very rich brown-tinged orange. ~ 0 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24824 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24828 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24829 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24830 R M 0 24809 1 24826 R E 1 24802 1 16 R M 0 24833 1 24826 S #24827 Violet~ The waning dusk turns the lake you are standing in into a picture of the deepest purple. Light reflecting off the lake turns all the colors around you into progressive shades of the same color, including the grapevines in the distance. A table is set up on the shore, draped in a violet tablecloth. ~ 0 0 2 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24825 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24829 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24830 R M 0 24810 1 24827 R E 1 24807 1 16 R G 1 24899 1 R O 0 24899 1 24827 R O 0 24899 2 24827 S #24828 Red~ Horror dawns on you as you realize what the thick red liquid you're wading in is. You quickly scramble out of it and take in your surroundings. The sky is the light red of sunrise. The blood you were just swimming in drips off your equipment onto the brick path under your feet. The sunlight bathes the nearby trees in red, matching the color of the leaves. ~ 0 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24826 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24829 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24830 R M 0 24811 1 24828 R E 1 24801 1 16 R O 0 24896 1 24828 S #24829 White~ The brightness that encompasses you makes everything you've ever seen seem dim and diluted by comparison. Everywhere you turn, you can see nothing but white. Closing your eyes doesn't help; the afterimage is just as bad. There is no horizon; no floor, no ceiling, no walls. Panic wells up in you as you lose track of the exit. You spin around and look in all directions, quickly realizing that, for once in your life, your sense of direction is totally gone. ~ 0 0 9 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24809 R M 0 24812 1 24829 R E 1 24808 1 16 S #24830 Black~ Your light source does nothing to penetrate the thick, silent darkness around you. The only thing that gives you ANY sense of direction is the division of blackness; there are actually deeper shades of black than what you saw when you first arrived here, evidenced by the horizon of absolute darkness in the distance. The "sky" is actually a lighter shade of black than the "ground" here. You wonder how this is possible. ~ 0 0 9 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24809 R M 0 24813 1 24830 R E 1 24809 1 16 S #24831 High above Icewind Dale~ Two things immediately strike you as you step onto the top of this mountain. How beautiful the view is, with the mountains almost touching the sky, their snow-capped peaks untouched by any creature, and how COLD it is! Yikes! You'd best get moving if you want your blood to stay in liquid form. ~ 0 4 5 D1 ~ ~ 33 -1 24805 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24832 S #24832 Trudging along in Icewind Dale~ Hmm. There goes your way back up. The mountain is virtually unclimbable from here. Looks like the only way out now is to the east, towards a huge glacier far in the distance. Your slowly numbing legs scream for action. Time to get moving before they fall off. ~ 0 4 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24833 R M 0 24827 3 24832 R M 0 24826 2 24832 S #24833 Within Sight of the Reghed Glacier~ The huge glacier looming in the distance is even bigger than you thought, now that you are nearing it. Something seems odd about the glacier, but you can't stop to figure it out now. It's either move or freeze. The glacier awaits, as does glory. You can also see a long path to the north that eventually leads to a huge rocky cliff. ~ 0 4 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24834 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24832 R M 0 24827 3 24833 S #24834 At the Base of the Reghed Glacier~ Well, whatever was abnormal about this glacier seems to have vanished now that you're this close to it. The surface of the glacier is an impregnable wall of deep-frozen ice. Seemingly impregnable. You didn't come all this way just to look at a glacier. Perhaps there's something else of interest here... ~ 0 4 5 D1 ~ crack~ 1035 -1 24835 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24833 R M 0 24827 3 24834 R M 0 24826 2 24834 R D 0 24834 1 1 E glacier mountain wall~ The glacier does indeed look impenetrable. It'd be a cold day in hell before you found any way inside of it. No pun intended. Hmm. Well, actually, now that you're looking REALLY hard, you can see some sort of depression at the base of the mountain. Probably just a trick of the imagination, though. ~ E base~ There is a rather large crack at the base of the glacier. So large, in fact, that you'd probably be able to fit through it with a bit of help. ~ S #24835 The Shores of Evermelt~ The cold temperature no longer seems incapacitating by this warm pool. In fact, you could stay here for quite a while if you had a mind to. Steam billows off the surface of the pool in great clouds. You have heard legends of what lies beyond the pool. Care to find out if they're true? ~ 0 12 1 D3 ~ ~ 35 -1 24834 D5 ~ pool evermelt water~ 1057 24821 24836 R O 0 24820 1 24835 R D 0 24835 3 1 S #24836 Swimming in Evermelt~ The water is remarkably warm down here. The steam rising off the surface above you doesn't do justice to the toasty feeling flowing through your veins. Remaining down here would be a bad idea, though...if you get to used to this temperature, you'll turn into an icicle seconds after getting out. ~ 0 12 6 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24837 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24835 S #24837 Swept Along by the Current~ Hmm. The current feels a lot stronger than it felt a few seconds ago. In fact, it's doubtful you could make it back to where you just were those few seconds ago. Might as well enjoy the ride now. ~ 0 12 6 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24838 S #24838 Still Lost in the Current~ Your lungs are screaming for air now. It takes all of your years of experience as an adventurer to keep from gulping in a mouthful of water. Perhaps now would be a good time to find some oxygen, before you find something less pleasant--death. ~ 0 12 6 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24839 S #24839 The Waterfall (!!)~ Uh-oh. Time to act quick. Just to your north, you hear the telltale roar of water falling into a lower pool. And from the sound of it, that pool is quite a ways away. Frantically looking around for a way out of this, you spy a few icicles above you. Maybe that's your ticket out of this mess. It probably would be a good idea to grab one before you go over the falls north. ~ 0 12 6 D0 If you go this way, death is assured. The fall is quite far. ~ ~ 0 -1 24858 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24859 S #24840 Lost in the barren wasteland~ Your throat constricts involuntarily as a huge wave of thirst overwhelms you. It doesn't look like there's any way out of this godforsaken place. You promise yourself that if you ever see a painting of a wasteland, you'll stay the hell away from it. ~ 0 3153920 10 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24841 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 S #24841 Lost in the barren wasteland~ The lack of moisture in your throat fits nicely with the look of this place. You're beginning to wonder if there is a way out of this place, or if the gods have cursed you to a slow, agonizing death. ~ 0 3153920 10 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24842 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 S #24842 Lost in the barren wasteland~ You can feel the heat of the sun overhead beating down on your already burned skin. What a way to go. There's not even anyone, anyTHING around to notice you expire. You thought your death would bring more fanfare than this. ~ 0 3153920 10 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24843 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 S #24843 Lost in the barren wasteland~ *pant* *pant* This is not good. Although you feel like you're making progress in this accursed place, you still don't see any change in atmosphere. That could be what is causing you to panic. Or perhaps it's because you can feel your brain frying. ~ 0 3153920 10 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24844 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 S #24844 Lost in the barren wasteland~ You whistle a little tune that has no melody to yourself as you trudge further along in this place. Relief seems close at hand, but not by much. Your grip on sanity is starting to loosen. Time to leave. Now. ~ 0 3153920 10 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24845 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 S #24845 Lost in the barren wasteland~ Your heart skips a beat as you see a huge pond in the distance. You run towards it, without caring what happens to you and your equipment. You reach the shore and dive in... Only to land headfirst on more of the cracked, dry, hard ground you've been destroying your footgear on for the last hour. *groan* ~ 0 3153920 10 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24846 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 S #24846 Lost in the barren wasteland~ Perhaps that dog over there can tell you how to get out of here. Or maybe that purple zorgflatz to your left. Wait a minute--what's a zorgflatz? Dimly you realize that to stay in this hell means a fate worse than death. Insanity. This may be your last hope of escape. ~ 0 3145732 10 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24847 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 S #24847 Lost in the barren wasteland~ Doo de doo de doo de doo...la de da de da...you've never been so happy. The pack of purple zorgflatzes that guards your dreams is right on your tail, but you're happy, happy, happy!! (You're also on the edge of insanity. Be careful) ~ 0 3153924 10 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24848 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 S #24848 The Edge of the Barren Wasteland~ By all the gods! It's the edge of this accursed, blasted land! Yippee!! Yeehaa! Alri--uh-oh. Your elation evaporates in the blink of an eye, quickly replaced by dread, as you look more closely at the pile of white powder right next to you. Sniffing carefully, you discover that it is powdered bone! What could have crushed THIS many bones, into THIS fine a substance. You have a sick feeling you might just find out. ~ 0 3153924 10 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24803 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24840 R M 0 24821 1 24848 S #24849 Welmar's Left Knee~ The old king's knee is pretty bony, but there is a good deal of muscle beneath. The old codger has, after all, seen his share of adventuring. But these knees creak from arthritis when they move. Doesn't look like his majesty will be doing any strenuous activity today. ~ 0 8 1 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24850 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24818 S #24850 Welmar's Lower Torso~ Now that you're here, you realize you don't feel like spending too much time near the waist of a seventy-year-old man. Ugh. Welmar doesn't have a queen. You wonder how the old man can keep such a sunny outlook on life without any female companionship. Or maybe that's what the guards are for... ~ 0 8 1 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24849 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24851 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24853 S #24851 Welmar's Right Knee~ His majesty's right knee is covered by his opulent robe, but if it's like the rest of his skin, it's probably pretty pale and splotchy. Why his subjects choose to follow the old man is a mystery to you. He doesn't look very authoritative from down here. ~ 0 8 1 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24850 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24852 S #24852 Welmar's Right Foot~ King Welmar's right foot is as exquisitely pedicured as his left. It looks as though he hasn't made any pilgrimages recently. Or ever will. Welmar gets carried wherever he goes now. Ah, the life of a king. Sounds pretty boring. ~ 0 8 1 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24851 R M 0 24815 1 24852 S #24853 Welmar's Chest~ Despite the years of inactivity, Welmar's chest remains finely muscled. However, it is not the same type of muscle that he used to possess. Welmar used to make the ladies swoon with his displays of strength. Now his only strength comes from the inside. You begin to understand why he is respected. ~ 0 8 1 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24855 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24856 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24854 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24850 S #24854 Welmar's Head~ Welmar's white beard chokes you as you walk around on his face. his aristocratic nose is a hundred times as intimidating at this size. You could probably fetch a pretty hefty price for that nose. Assuming, of course, his Majesty would part with it. You could always...convince him. ~ 0 8 1 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24853 R M 0 24818 1 24854 R M 0 24819 1 24854 R M 0 24820 1 24854 S #24855 Welmar's Left Arm~ The old man's arm still has a few corded muscles deep beneath the skin, although they have long since atrophied due to inactivity. You feel relatively certain you could put him down in an arm-wrestling contest. ~ 0 8 1 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24853 R M 0 24817 1 24855 S #24856 Welmar's Right Arm~ This arm doesn't get much activity nowadays. Welmar only uses it to gesticulate feebly with his golden sceptre. Of course, doing anything with a sceptre THAT big would require you to either be this Welmar's size, or to get a few thousand giant strength spells cast on you. Neither seems to be an option. ~ 0 8 1 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24853 R M 0 24816 1 24856 S #24857 The Head of the Table~ Several exotic-looking glasses line the table here, all of them empty. One of them has a familiar reddish tinge in the bottom. It looks like...blood! What kind of fiend would drink a glass of blood? Looking at a half-eaten piece of bread on the table, you realize exactly what kind of fiend would. The two small holes in the top of the bread gives it away. Vampire. ~ 0 4 2 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24820 R M 0 24825 1 24857 R E 1 24819 1 17 S #24858 Over the Falls~ Your failure to find a handhold on the icicles also means the failure of all your life functions. You are thrown over the side... And land on the rocks below. ~ 0 4 1 > entry_prog 100~ if isaffected($n) == Flying else mpdamage $n 85 endif ~ | S #24859 Hugging the Icicle~ Your lungs eagerly gulp in air as you cling for dear life to the icicle. Thankfully, your almost numb hands remembered how to grip, although the grip is a tenuous one. It looks like you can swing yourself down to the shore of the raging river. ~ 0 12 5 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24860 S #24860 On the Riverbank~ You land on the solid ice painfully. Your ordeal with Evermelt is at an end, finally. However, another ordeal appears to be awaiting you to the west. The rhythmic breathing you hear from that direction easily drowns out the roaring of the waterfall behind you. Torn between self-preservation and curiousity, you stand indecisively. ~ 0 12 2 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24861 S #24861 The Tunnel to...?~ All is silent now except the heavy breathing coming from the north. You can see light glinting off some material in the large cavern, but the rest of the room is obscured. Your legs feel frozen in place, but the sound from the north is so intriguing... ~ 0 268 2 D0 To the north is Icingdeath's Lair...are you sure you want to go that way? ~ ~ 0 -1 24862 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24860 S #24862 The Lair of Ingeloakastimizilian~ The treasure all around you is utterly astounding. Not the amount of it, of course. You have seen more treasure in other lairs. It's the way the coins, gems, weapons, and other fascinating items are frozen to the floor. Looking around, you see other things frozen to the floor. A human, dressed in full armor, is encased in an icy tomb for eternity, his death scream forever locked in his throat. The entire floor is covered with some form of treasure or life, or what USED to be life before Ingeloakastimizilian destroyed it. ~ 0 12 1 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24861 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24863 R M 0 24828 1 24862 R E 1 24824 1 5 R E 1 24825 1 7 R E 1 24826 1 10 R E 1 24827 1 19 R E 1 24858 1 16 R E 1 24857 1 17 R E 1 24828 1 9 R E 1 24856 1 8 R E 1 24829 1 6 R E 1 24830 1 13 S #24863 On top of the Reghed Glacier~ Now what? You're on top of the biggest glacier in all the Realms, with no way to go but down, back into Icingdeath's lair. As you sink into despondency, you hear a low hum above you. You look up and see...the portal! You can make it back to the Art Gallery! ~ 0 4 5 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24805 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24862 S #24864 The Grave~ As you step down into the soft dirt, a chill passes through your bones. You look around for the source of the feeling, everything goes dark. The earth has sealed above you! The only sound now is your breathing, which is becoming more and more rapid. Trying to collect your thoughts, you notice something unusual about this pit. There are cobwebs on every surface around here, almost as if this grave has been closed for years. The only exception is the south wall, which is completely clean. ~ 0 260 2 D2 ~ wall dirt~ 1033 -1 24865 S #24865 Lair of Aram-Dol~ You now realize why this area was perfectly clean. The walls in this room, as well as the floor, are solid stone. There are corpses strewn about the room, most with a horrified look on their face. Whatever killed them must have given them one hell of a scare. You've heard tales of underground stone lairs, and combined with the many corpses strewn about, everything starts to fall into place. This is the lair of a lich. ~ 0 260 2 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24864 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24813 R M 0 24829 1 24865 S #24866 Death~ ..Everything begins to fade to black. You feel yourself leaving your body... rising up into the air, you feel more free than you have ever felt before... However, before your deity comes to collect your soul, you feel a strange pulling sensation as strange and colorful mists swirl around you... ~ 0 12 1 S #24867 Ye Olde Meat Shoppe~ Entering this store, you're reminded of how long it has been since you've had a good steak. The cuts of meat hanging from hooks in the back remind you, however.

Every milk and cheese product you can imagine lies here, carefully kept cool by a bluish-white glow. A sign says, "ALL PRODUCTS KEPT REFRIGERATED". You'll have to ask the local scholar what ree-frigg-er-ated means sometime. It sounds dangerous.

Aaron's side is covered with clothes and papers, and the everpresent brown beanbag chair. Rob's side is spotless, as usual, except for a broken bottle of Snapple on the floor. Neither of them are on the MUD, though. They're not as addicted as the rest of us. ~ 0 2097160 1 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24893 S #24893 Outside 305 and 310~ You stand between two open doorways. They both lead to triples. Ordinarily, it would be quite cramped. But Rob and Aaron did a pretty good job of making Huguley move, so they've only got the two of them in there. Plus, Tex and his roommate managed to only ahve the two of them in there. Lucky bastards. ~ 0 2097160 1 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24891 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24892 S #24894 Still in the hallway~ To the west is Vu's room. He's gone through four roommates already, and he doesn't appear to mind. He's got quite a setup behind that door. The other three doors are a mystery, though. No idea who lives in them. ~ 0 2097160 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24895 D1 ~ 'pair of doors'~ 1063 -1 24894 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24893 D3 ~ 'pair of doors'~ 1063 -1 24894 S #24895 Walking down the hallway~ You are outside four locked rooms. One is blaring Stone Temple Pilots. The same Stone Temple Pilots song they've been playing the entire year. The room next to that one on the west wall is the R.A.'s room. No one has any idea who lives through the two doors on the east wall. The hallway continues to the south, or back to outside MUD Central to the north. ~ 0 2097160 1 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 24898 D1 ~ 'pair of doors'~ 1063 -1 24894 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24894 D3 ~ 'pair of doors'~ 1063 -1 24894 S #24896 223 Rasche Hall~ This is Scott and Matt's room. You wouldn't know who Matt is. He's never on the MUD. There is a big computer under Scott's loft, the most powerful computer that's used for MUDding among the circle of friends. The room is spotless, since any of the commanding officers in Echo Company could burst in for inspection at any time. Sounds like an exciting life. ~ 0 2097160 1 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 24899 S #24897 Forrester and Cox's Room~ Quite an interesting design. A closet door stretches between the two lofts in this poorly lit room. A stereo on said closet door is playing 96.3 ROV FM. Cox's computer is on, of course (never, NEVER turn off a UNIX computer), while Forrester's computer has the Warp screen saver on. There are several boxes stapled to Cox's loft. ~ 0 2097160 1 D3 You can leave this messy-ass room and go out into the hall to your west. ~ ~ 0 -1 24898 E computer computers~ Cox has four windows open on the screen. The joy of owning an X Windows system. You wonder how he can keep track of everything. Forrester's screen saver has a password, though. Good luck getting in. ~ E box boxes loft~ Cox's loft has food boxes stapled to it! What a weirdo! ~ S #24898 The Third Floor Miles Hallway~ To your west is Grant and Seguin's room, and east is Forrester and Cox's room. The other two doors here are closed and locked, though. Brett, Jeremy, Dave, and the other Jeremy don't take too kindly to visitors. Way down the hall to the south are two more open doors. ~ 0 2097160 1 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 24897 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 24895 D3 ~ ~ 0 -1 24899 S #24899 Grant and Seguin's Room~ This is a pretty cool room. It has two lofts, numerous posters on the wall, two computers, and one hell of an entertainment center. Faith No More plays loudly from the four speakers in the room, and a paused game of Final Fantasy III is on the TV. Care to relax for a bit? ~ 0 2097160 1 D1 You can leave the twins' room and go out into the hall to the east. ~ ~ 0 -1 24898 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 24896 E loft lofts~ The lofts are quite different in appearance. Seguin's is quite sturday and clean, while Grant's is unmade and wobbly. ~ E desk desks~ Another contrast. Seguin's is perfectly organized, Grant's is perfectly messy. Rather appropriate, actually. ~ E tv television~ Looks like Seguin has finally caught up to Grant in Final Fantasy III. He's at the last fight. As you watch, the Blitz guy does a Bum Rush on Kefka. ~ E computer computers~ Somehow Grant and Seguin have figured out a way to be on the MUD at the same time. And, of course, they both are. Grant is building, while Seguin is bitching about losing another apple of discord. ~ S #0 #SHOPS 24801 0 0 0 0 0 120 90 0 23 ; the Art Gallery's curator 24830 19 17 26 0 0 120 90 0 23 ; the butcher 24831 19 17 26 0 0 120 90 0 23 ; the baker 24832 19 17 26 0 0 120 90 0 23 ; the fruit stand vendor 24834 19 17 26 0 0 120 90 0 23 ; the dimpled milkmaid 24851 19 17 26 0 0 120 90 0 23 ; the butcher 24852 19 17 26 0 0 120 90 0 23 ; the dimpled milkmaid 24853 19 17 26 0 0 120 90 0 23 ; the baker 24854 19 17 26 0 0 120 90 0 23 ; the fruit stand vendor 0 #REPAIRS 0 #SPECIALS M 24804 spec_breath_lightning M 24814 spec_guard M 24815 spec_guard M 24820 spec_cast_mage M 24821 spec_breath_gas M 24823 spec_poison M 24825 spec_cast_undead M 24828 spec_breath_frost M 24829 spec_cast_mage M 24830 spec_guard M 24831 spec_guard M 24832 spec_guard M 24834 spec_guard M 24845 spec_guard M 24846 spec_guard M 24847 spec_guard M 24848 spec_guard M 24850 spec_guard M 24851 spec_executioner M 24852 spec_executioner M 24853 spec_executioner M 24854 spec_executioner M 24892 spec_guard M 24893 spec_guard M 24894 spec_guard M 24895 spec_guard M 24896 spec_guard M 24897 spec_guard M 24898 spec_guard M 24899 spec_guard S #$
