OOC: mph! I did it again! Thats what I get for being up late after finishing home work. its Starbuck not Sunflair on the last post! I have a tendency to do things like that. I'll read what someone else put and then put their name. Its rather annoying. (NT) Starbuck 13:45:38 01/15/04 Thu

((Again you with the name stealing!)) *nods* fill the moat with oil and light it. I want guards outside the walls making sure no fire spreads past the moat or the whole forest will go up in flames. After the moat is burning throw damp straw onto the flames. I want all creatures helping with this. Send the towns people into the main fort and into the cellars. It will be cool and the air will be clean there. Put some sort of covering over your faces too. (NT) Sunflair 15:00:30 01/20/04 Tue
