That place has a giant so big that it crawls on all fours! (there are several giant sized creatures, but they can stand in most places) 6. The heat fried the dwarves’ brains and they went crazy over money and killed each other. (partially true) 7. The dwarves were turned into mudmen by a curse! (false—the mudmen are actually the golems that the dwarves intensively used) 8. Bardoz found something deep and dark underground! He might be still fighting it! (partially true) 9. The whole thing is a coverup to build a Dwarf military outpost! 10. The Elves did it. All of it. Weren’t there some hostilities between Dwarfs and Elves back then? There always is! 11. Huge monsters have crawled out of deep caverns. Two nights ago Larry lost two sheep! (true) 12. A dwarven expedition went there when my pops was young. Not many came back. 13.

Bardoz sounds far more fun if it is desolate and far from civilization.) MISS ALICE THE DRUIDESS leads a traditional sacred grove Alternative: It would actually make sense for a village to in a cute little valley about 30 miles away, down in the be close. Given the dwarven settlement’s riches, a trading foothills (as well as a hidden one in the Deep Lake under post would be needed to move goods in and out, and thus the Halls of Bardoz). It has beautiful flowers, lush trees, generate wealth. This would eventually grow into a town. babbling brook, pretty singing birds and everything.

Note: This could be the next inhabited village elves, humans, and a hamadryad. Some will be gone at any where the survivors of Klemt settled down. given time. The Druidess’s Circle will sometimes sponsor groups to the Halls specifically to destroy undead. They offer free reincarnation for the unfortunate ones. Another possible quest: Alice didn’t report back in a long time and the circle could not contact her, so they are hiring experienced adventurers to investigate her disappearance. One of the druidesses may join the party. This quest can be used if the players didn’t reach dungeon level 3, or to start off the exploration of the Deep Lake. (GM must decide what happened to Alice). The legendary Halls of Bardoz The ancient entrance used to be a small cliffside. After the dwarfs founded the outpost, they started worshipping the geomancer Bardoz who died in magma. In order to honor him, they carved and sculpted the whole cliff into his head. They also burnt down all the nearby trees so the huge stone head is clearly visible. Alternative: The face of Bardoz is carved in the face of a cliff instead of an entire sculpted head. Local humans all agree that the dwarfs took this whole Bardoz thing a bit too seriously but hey, dwarfs are all (at least) a bit mad. And it is rumored that the dude had 18 CHA (before melting)! The entrance to the dwarven outpost and the other parts of the dungeon is a through the mouth of the Head of Bar- doz and down the throat. From there, stairs lead down into the darkness (go to 1-C3-1). Village of Klemt The village of Klemt had just started to form into the shadow of the Head of Bardoz and was not even fortified yet. It was just few houses around a well, an inn, and a stable for travellers visiting Bardoz. Then, around 140 years ago, came fire and fury, slaughtering most of them. At least some humans fled with the dwarves, spreading crazy tales of death and fangs. Now there are just burnt foundations and few standing corners and wall segments. The old well hole is not col- lapsed and reaches the waters in 1-A5-4. A single stone cellar can provide shelter. Far away, to the southwest, there is a surface grotto where an old dwarven escape tun- nel ends; following it, one may reach the cavern in 1-A5-4 below the well, and enter the dungeon.

The FPE's victories, and especially their militarily brilliant commanders, bolster support for the FPE, and nations begin to freely vote on whether to join it. After months of searching, Bean and Petra found eight of their children, with the ninth implanted in a woman who believed Achilles to be a great man and thought that her child was his, Randi Firth.

The focus here is more on overall objectives and less on individual battles. However, I will avoid spoilers for this book and will try and be as general as possible in the synopsis. I know, that sounds so boring--but the great thing is that it's not! This is purely an artifact of the religious beliefs of the author, and I suppose I can understand why he would like to believe that a super-intelligent person would end up clearly admitting belief in some sort of God.

    Daniel Boone Regional Library Book Discussion Kit DBRL One READ Selection 2005 Callaway County / Columbia / Southern Boone County Public Libraries www.dbrl.org Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card Page 1 Tips for Book Discussions from Washington Center for the Book at Seattle Public Library Reading Critically Books that make excellent choices for discussion groups have a good plot, well-drawn characters, and a polished style. These books usually present the author’s view of an important truth and not infrequently send a message to the reader. Good books for discussion move the reader and stay in the mind long after the book is read and the discussion is over. These books can be read more than once, and each time we learn something new. Reading for a book discussion—whether you are the leader or simply a participant—differs from reading purely for pleasure. As you read a book chosen for a discussion, ask questions and mark down important pages you might want to refer back to. Make notes like, "Is this significant?" or "Why does the author include this?" Making notes as you go slows down your reading but gives you a better sense of what the book is really about and saves you the time of searching out important passages later. Obviously, asking questions as you go means you don't know the answer yet, and often you never do discover the answers. But during discussion of your questions, others may provide insight for you. Don't be afraid to ask hard questions because often the author is presenting difficult issues for that very purpose.

  • Secret Teachings of All Ages Index
    THE SECRET TEACHINGS OF ALL AGES by Manly P. Hall [1928, copyright not renewed] Contents Start Reading For once, a book which really lives up to its title. Hall self-published this massive tome in 1928, consisting of about 200 legal-sized pages in 8 point type; it is literally his magnum opus. Each of the nearly 50 chapters is so dense with information that it is the equivalent of an entire short book. If you read this book in its entirety you will be in a good position to dive into subjects such as the Qabbala, Alchemy, Tarot, Ceremonial Magic, Neo-Platonic Philosophy, Mystery Religions, and the theory of Rosicrucianism and Freemasonry. Although there are some questionable and controversial parts of the book, such as the outdated material on Islam, the portion on the Bacon-Shakespeare hypothesis, and Hall's conspiracy theory of history as driven by an elite cabal of roving immortals, they are far out-weighed by the comprehensive information here on other subjects. For many years this book was only available in a large format edition which was hard to obtain and very expensive. However, an affordable paperback version has finally been released (see sidebar). PRODUCTION NOTES: I worked on this huge project episodically from 2001 to June 2004. This because of the poor OCR quality, which was due to the miniscule type and large blocks of italics; this necessitated retyping many parts of the text manually. To give an idea of how massive this project was, the proof file for this is 2 megabytes, about 8 times the size of a normal 200 page book.
