Subject: Re: Lambent in the younger years (was MM raid)


Hi Pava!
Good to see you have had some fortune! Hope it continues!! I have had to
do the dirty work obviously, but I am able. I hadn't much exp with Mistmore
prior to my big adventure (still think Esprit de Corpse are using MM as
training for multi-group fighting prior to plane assaults). I now have most
of the pieces to get most of the lambent. And friends are holding on to the
rest of my stones. Maybe when you see me I won't be silver anymore!
