Re: On Tricksters
Avoid the inevitable off-pissing of the Shrike as long as possible. You have not seen rage until you've seen bird rage. Also remember not to eat any apples or pomegranates, and if someone's boiling a salmon or a snake and you taste some, run away soon after.
Adrian, you have the dead crowcatrice as proof at least some are dead; it's a good start for telling the truth and that you've been told to repent (which is true, even if you won't)...though if you blamed everything on the clank Gus'd definitely believe that, too. They have a sort of hate-hate relationship.
