On Mon Aug 30 01:35:06 1999 I had an interview with the famous
Tralith Enlightened Keeper of the Seven Circles
Below is a literal representation of that conversation.

Shorleck: Tell something about yourself outside MS, what nationality
are
you, what do you do in your spare time from ms anything you want to
share
with us ?
Tralith: Well, Shorleck, I'm a Canadian, eh?  And just the other day I
found a snake living in the basement of the museum that I work in. 
Being a druid at heart, I stuck the snake in a bucket and released the
little guy in the forest.  How's that for caring about animals ;)

Shorleck: What is your favorite place within the realms of MS ?
Tralith: The Circle of the Druids is quite easily the most pleasant

place in all of the lands of Midnight-Sun.  Well...we've been having
some problems lately with some were-cows rampaging around the place,
but other than that...of course, there's that nasty squirrel too...

Shorleck: What place do you hardly ever go to and why not ?
Tralith: The quiet forest around the Circle has become much more
dangerous for me lately.  There's this little squirrel that seems to
have developed a liking for druid flesh.  Anyway, he's killed me 7
times now.  I've become really cautious so the squirrel has taken to
laying snares all over our formerly-gentle forest in the hopes of
catching me.  Due to this unfortunate problem I've begun digging a
tunnel that will eventually connect the Circle and the Oak.

Shorleck: From all the quests you did, which one did you enjoy the
most,
what made it special ?

Tralith: Damn, these are pretty hard-hitting questions, Shorleck ;) 
Hmmm... The All Knight Long Puzzle was definitely a favourite of mine.
Unlike most quests, when I started work on the puzzle I knew what the
goal was,  roughly how to go about achieving that goal, and that all
of the pieces to the puzzle were available to me.

Shorleck: What is your favourite weapon and why ?
Tralith: I've found myself coveting Aldus' multi-coloured longsword
lately.  Don't ask me why, because I'm not too sure.  But I've really
become fond of it.

Shorleck: Which monster is your biggest enemy ?
Tralith: It's all about the squirrel, Shorleck.  Perhaps my druidic
powers are not yet sufficiently developed, but I simply can't seem to
get through to him that we can coexist peacefully.  It may be time to
napalm the forest ;)

Shorleck: What goals have you set for yourself here in MS, are you
here for
chatting or you want to play or striving for wizhood ?
Tralith: Originally, Shorleck, I was playing for fun.  The squirrel
has upped the ante however...I'm playing to survive now.

Shorleck: Is there anything else you would like to add ?
Tralith: If anyone reading this prestigious paper would like more
information about the Guild of the Druids, feel free to contact me. 
I'm always willing to help, unless I'm busy, in which case I'll brush
you off and pretend I didn't hear you ;) Thankyou for the interview,
Shorleck.


Here ended our conversation. I wish to thank Tralith
