Hiya,
Wow. Rather impressive. I have to wonder where exactly you are. I
have yet to really make it out of the farmlands surrounding Or'gn and the
like, though I did take a hike to Forrod to exchange my ruby for ralls.
Man, how that felt like a fortune at the time, a hundred of them!
Like I say, this game is really amazing to me. I've not run into
anything quite like it before. I'm real glad there are still people
interested in it.
All the best and good luck,
Zack.
