Errors to csd@microplex.com
Now there should be a digest whenever (a) there are 10 emails
or (b) whenever there is an email waiting for more than 48 hours
for a digest to be completed.
So don't get worried if the digest has only 1 or 2 emails, that
just means the list has been slow.
(I hope it works)

Subject:       Atlantis: Krod Warning

General Notice to all players thinking of portaling to Krod:

Krod is one of three cities on a small island called Xontormia.  The
entire island consists of only 27 hexes.  All hexes are either plains
(7 hexes) or mountains.  All hexes in the vicinity of Krod & her
sister city of Arezzo are mountains.  There is no wood on the entire
island.  There are no swamps.  i.e. there is not much room & it's not
great territory for producers.  As explained below, we have claimed
and occupied all plains hexes so there is no good taxing territory --
only mountains in the southeast around Krod itself.  Therefore,
consider twice before coming here.  War factions will find themselves
severely constrained -- you will have to fight over 17 mountain
hexes.

The Xontormia Alliance has been installed on the island in the
fertile Northwest since year 1.  We have hundreds of combat trained-
troops, plus hi-level magi. Although we may accept an ally or two --
producers or magi (an additional top-level magic faction would be
particularly useful), we will not allow incursion on our lands.  We
claim all hexes within 2 hexes of Xontormia, plus the city itself.
This means that all plains hexes are off-limits unless entrance is
negotiated.  Any units crossing into the plans northeast via the pass
at 76,12 and 76,13 or the mountain hex 76,14 will be considered
hostile and treated as such unless prior permission has been
requested.  In other words, stay out of 76,12; 76,13, and 77,13.
Although the pass has been lightly fortified given the parvious
absence of neighbors, we are now moving a substantial border guard
into position.  The default on these guards will be unfriendly, i.e.
no one may enter without permission.

Any units now on our lands must immediately contact us
to arrange treaty, alliance, or safe passage back toward Krod or face
extermination.  We welcome overtures of friendship and alliance.
Although our island is small and resource poor, we envision that it
can be a peaceful refuge for students of magic and producers away
from the continual turmoil of the larger continents.

Subject: Coroner's Verdict...
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 1995 05:28:33 LOCAL

A hush fell over the courtroom as the coroner gravely consulted his papers
to deliver his findings...
 "This Inquest finds that the lone assassin was Lee Harv.."
"Er.." interupted the Sheriff of the Court "..wrong case, Judge Warren"
"Oh?" asked the coroner, shuffling through his papers "Is this it?..This court
finds that the suspects contention that the one-armed man did it
farcical? No? Oh dear.." he delved deeper through the pile of papers..
"Aha!" he exclaimed in triumph..
"This Inquest finds that Janet of the Stranded Tourists was unlawfully killed
by a person or persons unknown. There is insufficient evidence to sustain the
allegation that Lord Viper or the Dominion were in any way involved in this
brutal act." he proclaimed "This Inquest is concluded."
 The coroner hurried back to his chambers...there were an unusually large
number of plain paper bags to be emptied and counted this week...

Subject:       atl -- fireflash

The rules say that fireflash dazzles 2 to 50 enemy, and that cause
fear does likewise for 2 to 100 enemies.

Can someone please tell me what "2 to 50" means?  Does it mean that
if you are attacking 50 enemies that a random generator chooses the
number that are dazzled, so that the number dazzled might be 25, or
30, or 17 or any number between 2 and 50?  Or does it mean that if
you attack any number of enemies between 2 and 50 all of them are
dazzled, i.e. if you attack 50 enemies, all of them are dazzled?
Thanks a lot.

Memo
From: Dom Astinaedes le Grange, AgSegDir, AC Station
To: Consular Director, Directaria i Praesidium

At 05:28 AM 9/28/95 LOCAL, nsleigh reported:
> A hush fell over the courtroom as the coroner gravely consulted his papers
>to deliver his findings...
[ there followed, sir, a most alarming account of the processes of Justice
in the Home Country ]
>brutal act." he proclaimed "This Inquest is concluded."
> The coroner hurried back to his chambers...there were an unusually large
>number of plain paper bags to be emptied and counted this week...

The reporter does not add that the deceased's destraught twin, Jamice, had
to be helped from what they are please to call a "court" here-abouts,
sobbing "Justice!... I want justice!".

I strongly recommend such action, as may be within our power, subject to the
usual Plausable Denial provisions, be taken to assist a Traveller in distress.

Dom Astinaedes,
AC, YoOG 3.

I'm pretty sure it's random. "Between 2 and 50" doesn't mean "up to 50
will be". :)
