Thanks all, big thanks to Richard (and I thought the A-ref/Monster was Rob?) - lots of hard work for just the two of them !
I had a good time, the walls (god, I hate walls ! lol) were well thought out and proved an exercise for the brain, just as much as exercise for the body when the bl0ody monster nicked my bastard sword from my shoulder/back scabbard and proceeded to hit me all over with it !!!!

p.s. ever so sorry for being beguiled by the Vampire, honest !
enjoyed everyones characters, and Sylph - if you wanted to try and arrange an overland some time in a couple of months - then I'd be very interested. When the snow stops, just over 12 inches of snow in my back garden !!!!
