I think I've killed Jack of Shadows. Needed a vorpal blade (+2 attacks, +20
damage) to do it, mind. And a couple of potions of *Healing*. Bastard kept
teleporting away, but I nailed him in the end.
Can't seem to find any Zelazny in the shops - keep meaning to read some.
Better/worse than Moorcock?

Neat.
You and who else?

[Actually, dancing with Jack of Shadows isn't *quite* Zelazny (though
Shadowjack obviously is) but comes-out of one of those interminable
sword&sorcery series.
God knows if I can call it to mind just at this moment.

{Oh, for the onlookers, Doug and I seem to be referring to Zelazny's _Jack
of Shadows_.
But honest, folks, I *wasn't* referencing this.
I'm (or was) *much* deeper in the Ghetto than Doug ever was.
Doug does it for money; I do it for small presents. Small, but valuable.
... bloody hell, how deep into the SF Ghetto can you go?
