I feel bad for people who feel bad for rats. Rats are plague carriers and vermin, the scourge of mankind. No wonder they desire to be human. Down with Attorsi

I always thought mung was something that grew on bathroom walls or something. It made mung demons a lot less threatening. Somehow, "moldy demon" or "mildewing demon" just isn't as threatening.

mung (also mung bean)
noun
1. a small round green bean
2. the tropical Old World plant that yields these beans, commonly grown as a source of bean sprouts

There. That should make them seem even less threatening.

Somehow, having a pencil ricochet off of me and getting punched in the face doesn't feel quite the same as launching a good offensive strike.

On a not-so-similar note, I noticed that Episode Three isn't the only thing you're working on.

I really haven't read much of that thread, so I missed the notice. I noticed it when I was establishing a tab on Episode 3.

I haven't quite achieved omniscience yet. I'm getting there though.

"Sounds like the fluffy turtles are hungry. No one has any sanity on them, right?" Ephesos said.
"Nope," Smoo said.
Nioca hesitated for a second. "Um... no. Of course not!"

You really need to know what's happening everywhere at all time Nioca. It's really not that hard. :P

Wait, you still have some sanity left, don't you?

Now the real question is, which Smoo is the real one?

Wait. . . How can Ephesos cast Move Mountains in the Avernum 4 forum?

And, even though Nalyd doesn't actually need to say it. . . No appearance.

Read Episode 2. It should clear some of that up.

Basically, anyone can cast any spells or use any weapons in any forum, so long as any flagrant violation is not acknowledged. If it is, then the weapon disappears or the spell becomes ineffective.

--------------------
Final 'any' count: 5. Well, make that 6.

There's an easy way to determine the real Smoo. Kill them both and the real one will be summoned back from Misc. forum. Of course this will get messy as we check to see if there are any other imposters amongst us.

I do like how Ephesos and Nioca are getting back to General forum. It least it will keep future GIFTS invaisons out.

We never get rid of all the GIFTSs. They're worse than GIFTRs and harder to eradicate. Too bad we can't feed them to the fluffy turtles and solve two problems.

Waiting for the wereSmoo to start killing isn't the best solution. After all the real Smoo is going to face trouble for starting the whole rat problem. How do you differentiate their reactions if you don't know that Smoo was captured?

Just acid spray them both.

Unless they mate instead and we end up with fluffy sanity-eating GIFTS with turtle shells to protect them.
