Restrings:

Short Description: a sparkly bit of bedraggled dwarven armor 
Long Description: A ragged chunk of divinely crafted dwarven armor hangs on a thick mithril chain.

Look armor dwarven chunk:
While the powerful and only a little overconfident Dwarf Ink has never 
admitted defeat in battle, there might possibly have been a time or two
that he really had to be... er... somewhere else. This ragged bit of 
finely made dwarven armor was torn off during an altercation with his
arch-nemesis, the horrible Woronin. He wears it with both determination
and pride. 

Look woronin woronins:
WORONIN
According to C.J. Alexopoulos and C.W. Mims in _Introductory
Mycology_, Third Edition, a Woronin body is defined as "an
electron dense spherical body found in the hyphae of Ascomycetes
and many Deuteromycetes; Woronin bodies are usually concentrated
near the septa."  (page 600)
Although this information will be completely and utterly useless
to you in your quest to survive making friends with the Woronin,  
we provide it for your entertainment, enlightenment, and general
edification, and we are quite impressed that you thought to type
'HELP WORONIN.'  Have a nice day.

Player Provided Information:

Cordir
05/20/2011
The player of Ink and I started out on the worst possible terms. At one point, he had three different characters on the Anathema list, and regularly was so horrid that I’d get mad enough I had to log off or I’d do something I’d regret. When I found out he was going to be attending a GT that I was also going to, I was downright uncomfortable. What if he was mean and nasty in person, too? Well, he showed up and the worst that happened was that he ate the last of the chocolate chip cookies. He was actually funny, had manners, was kind to Tranquility’s daughter, and complimented me on the food I’d made. Meeting Ink at a GT and getting reminded that we’re all just players trying to have fun (though I disagreed strongly with his idea of 'fun') was a major turning point in how we interacted. Things DID get better. He even created a character for the Chosen of Fate, and later still, joined as Ink. (Though not exactly reformed from his Wyld ways - and I knew better than to bother asking him for Geasa or a character history. :P)

Ananasi ftells, 'hee hee ### [Ink group-tells (in common), 'target zak'.
Oook ftells, 'See? Ink isn't so bad... *grin*'.
