> STORY:
>   Since Kevin doesn't want to write this and I wasn't there this is going to be
>     brief and inaccurate.
>   
>   After capturing the apparent Lord Pimsley the will be heroes ask him not to ever
>     attempt to assasinate Hilter.
>   Since he agrees, he and his flunky are released.
>   Since the PCs are more interested in who is 6'2'' and not who is not 6'2'', they
>     never realize this is just a ruse.
>   
>   Suspicious of Maria and the Father, the band goes to check out their story.
>   Cleverly, the GM forces the player characters to go re-fuel at San Remo.
>   One of the more astude members of the band notices that no one is about in the 
>     village.
>   Moreover, all the doors in the town are open except the mission.
>   
>   The band investigates...
>   
>   The real Lord Pimsley has the townspeople hostage.
>   At his sides are two time agents from OWT's opposition.
>   They are good and have blasters like our will be heroes.
>   
>   Suddenly from beyond the edges of the senario description leap five more time 
>     agents.
>   Luckily they are not as skilled as the original two.
>   
>   Here the GM proceeds to teach the PCs how dangerous gun combat is.
>   To drive home the point, he ups the damage on the blasters.
>   
>   The band is triumphant, but...
>   Eric Fulton's one dimensional character is shot in the brain and floats down
>     river.
>   Half of the rest of the party is permanently disfigured and maimed.
>   The GM laughs evilly.
>   
>   The opposition's time techies steps through time portals to pick up their dead 
>     and wounded.
>   Darn, no more new guns and ammo.
>   
>   The will be heroes pick up some portion of the reward for the return of Lord
>     Pimsley.
>   Unfortunately, they can not get it all in the universal currency, gold.
>   
>   A time portal opens up and a new GM is activated.
>   Perhaps all the blasters will become less powerful again.
>   
>   There is some talk of magical elven healing.
