"Cause the story doesn't go like that, now does it?!" the Sphinx growls, "Things have to be right, don't they? A sphinx has to ask riddles, a troll has to fight goats and we're supposed to eat people on the road no matter how bad they taste!"

"Aren't you listening? Timmy went to get his old man - the giant that lives at the top of the beanstalk. He should be big enough to pull that thing up by the roots. I tried clawing it to bits but it just grew everything back. Heck, I hit the base of one and it grew back two!

[We've got to get the horses across, don't we? ]
Twig says, "The bridge isn't all that long. I think if we get the horses up to a gallop, we have a good chance of getting across before the lurker can get many tentacles up there. Gades might try disturbing the water 40-ish yards upstream before we start."Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio
