                                 Rumors



   Come on, now- Who needs a dour butt-kickin'?



Someone (perhaps Clan Moore?) Asked:
> Is there still an AOO?

Hmmmm, difficult question to answer. I'm sure they still exist
  somewhere in the space-time continuum. However, as far as this plane
  of Olympia is concerned, the Answer Guy has seen no sign of them
  since some time back around the early parts of year 23.

> If not then who is that sitting in the castle at Hades?

It's not the Answer Guy, but it is someone who is likely to let
  peaceful travellers pass through Hades.

> If they do still exist then are they still teleporting in hit
>   squads to kill auracalcumed mages?

The adjective you are looking for is "auraculated". And no, to the
  best of the Answer Guy's knowledge, the AOO is not teleporting
  anything anywhere at this time, on this instantiation of Olympia.

> Would anyone be so kind as to email me a map of hades with the
>   exits to the various lands?

Ahhh, now you are asking for something of value (as opposed to most of
  what the Answer Guy spreads about freely). Wouldn't it be more fun
  to explore and make your own map. Think of the thrills you could
  have wandering about looking for hidden passages while dodging
  greater deamons and packs of spirits!

Aye, with 3 sailors upon the sea I should
be bumping into some of you real quick.
If you get bumped into by Ahab, Captain,
or Sailor; feel free to drop me a line at
mmoore2070@aol.com so I'll avoid
pillaging your territory.
