Hunter

I stalk the darkened ways. The landscape before me is desolate and abandoned. A small number are abroad this day, but only the few with dire need.

Today, I am hunter. I am in search of the most evil of creatures. Often visible by signs of its presence, but so rarely caught.

For indeed, the quarry on this day is a Gremlin. This foul creature has been causing chaos in the Great System. Harmony has been disrupted. It's attacks made obvious by a flurry of chaos as it departs sniggering.

It has been attacking our Harrier. A noble bird, who is a carrier of knowledge. The gremlin attacks with vicious speed, only to put out one of the eyes of our harrier. But Harrier has a mission, that must not be stopped. The Gremlin is cast back, and Harrier continues onward, pained and weak.

As the Keeper, I must heal Harrier, so that his mighty duty may continue unhindered. His brother, is pressed to service to take up the burden and for a time all is well.

Alas his brother is weak, and is unable to fend off the Gremlin's attack. So the Hunter is called forth. The Hunter who seeks and kills Bugs and Gremlins. Always restless, always seeking.

The Gremlin is found, and struck down.

The brother of Harrier has fallen alas, but has carried the burden long enough.

Harrier is well once more. With mighty wings, and soaring flight, Harrier takes to the Aether, and returns to it's duty. Service to those that will not remember his name, until the next time.

For the Gremlin is immortal, and can never be slain.

The missing quid.

3 men go into a shop, to buy a bargain hi-fi that one of them has spotted in the window.
It's listed at £30.
So they each pull out a £10 note, and give that to the shopkeeper, and walk off, well pleased with their purchase.
A few moments later, the shopkeeper realises that he's made a mistake, and that the hi-fi is actually £25. So being an honest sort, he decides that he needs to give them a refund.
So he shouts to his assistant, and gives him £5 out of the till, and tells him to chase after those 3 guys, and give them the money.

His assistant dashes down the road, and being a bit of a crafty sort, gives each of the men one pound each, and pockets two for himself.

Now if each of the three men paid £9, and the assistant makes £2, what happened to the other quid?

Well, I've just about finished all I can on SINergy returns. They're pending a couple of blanks being filled in. But if Darren isn't able to, well, they're probably going to be sent out Wednesday/Thursday -ish.

Now I'm probably prop wagon again this month, although hopefully that won't be too much more (we may have stashing space in leicester). I've room for a passenger.
Other than that, who do we have confirmed as going?
