Also:  According to that silly sage Yerikan weapon resistance "Helps
against all forms of physical attacks".   Just something to think about...:)

This is indeed interesting...  Can't wait for the fisrt massive cyclops
with weapon resistance...

Also Yerikan told me in a diplo that he has heard that a fearie circle
can be found in Antar and that perhaps my questions about the faeries
could be answered there.  Also of note, a mino named moose? in Antar has
posted that he has a mino pendant.  Perhaps he got it there as well.  All
now seems to point to Antar's mushroom circle for a must see place for
all minos.  Another question though...What would happen if Fernanda went
to the circle again?  Another pendant?  Damage point?  Kiss?  Nothing?  I
think Laby might have to come to Antar for his first visit soon! :)

Like Yerikan said in his last words about the topic..."And if you are a
mino, there may be hope.  The Faerie folk are still very much your friends."
