I've uploaded it to a Google site here if you would like to check it out. Some good fluff.. sites.google.com/site/mgbeach/files/Atha...

#5 Cyber-Dave Feb 03, 2011 18:41:49	Neat. Thank you. As per my edit to my last post, what is Kip?
#6 mgbeach Feb 03, 2011 18:46:59	I actually can only infer from context, but I believe it's a 2-foot long lizard, like an iguana. Actually found another source that might help you even more.. www.angelfire.com/games2/labyrinth/extra...
#7 Cyber-Dave Feb 03, 2011 18:57:25	That totally rocks! Thank you so much.

Just to continue the theme, I wound up eating in front of the rest of my group (most of whom had Wasteland Wanderer backgrounds).  And not sharing.  How very noble-like behavior! Slaves and low-status laborers, of course, get to eat oatmeal.  Not the maple and brown sugar flavor or the Variety Pack, mind you, but the plain kind.
