> COMPOSED: 9/26/00
> STORY:
>   The small flat rounded objects they received when they first entered the valley
>     have one button and a lens.
>   With a little experimentation and a tree sacrificed it is determined to be a
>     small blaster.
>   
>   It takes two days to get to the valley floor.
>   They decide to build a raft and float down the river world they believe they are
>     in.
>   Two days into the raft construction the group encounters slave recruiters.
>   The slavers are block like creatures three feet tall and about three feet wide.
>   They are not fat but are instead amazingly muscular.
>   Their captives are eight feet tall and quite thin.
>   The tall thin creatures are fair skinned but they are painted red from head to 
>     toe.
>   Their hair is clumpped into triangular dreadlocks.
>   
>   Two of the three slavers rush into the clearing where the raft is being built
>     apparently to collect more slaves.
>   The last one stays with all of the chained slaves.
>   The fight ensues.
>   The active members of the party hide in the trees and attack the slavers.
>   
>   Rick's well aimed blaster releases the slaves, but frees up a slaver to attack
>     his friends.
>   With the generous use of blaster fire one slaver is killed, one is captured, and
>     the other runs off.
>   The slavers use magic and this scares the group.
>   The use of darkness and short range teleportation makes the group believe one
>     of the slavers gated in another.
>   The slavers also demostrated telekentic abilities as well.
>   
>   Since the slaves have rushed off, the active group members follow decide to
>     track them.
>   After alot of cat and mouse like games the slaves give up running.
>   They set up an ambush with some fellow creatures of their race.
>   The will-be-heroes find themselves at spear point.
>   With a little diplomacy the creatures who identify themselves as Malarites put
>     down their spears.
>   The Malarites have a limited vocabulary but they discover the basic players in
>     the valley.
>   They are the Red Malarites not to be confused with the Green Malarites who are
>     "Bad".
>   The slavers are called Tanars.
>   There are something called Vorrs and apparently they are not very nice.
>   Downstream runs into a dam like structure guarded by men and rocks with "boom
>     sticks".
>   Before both groups go their own ways, Amber is marked as a friend of the Red
>     Malarites.
>   
>   While travelling with the captive Tanar the group is attacked by Vorr which are
>     Somalian children with distended bellies an all.
>   They have long needle like fangs and claws.
>   They immdediately attack the weakest looking members of the party.
>   The Tanar is tied up and as such the weakest.
>   When the Vorr attack they do not wait to start snacking.
>   Eventually, only the Tanar is being attacked so the party steps away.
>   The Tanar is quite dead.
>   
>   The raft is complete when they arrive back with the main group.
>   So they decide to drift down stream.
