You peer around yourself intently.

[Exits: north west] A magical spring flows from the ground here. A pile of gold coins. <IT> Thamu is here. Faerie Midwife Mab lies here, as a puddle.
You say 'I suppose that did the trick.'
Mab blubbers 'I'll...be back...you'll...see!!'
Thamu rolls her eyes, disgusted.
Thamu kicks the puddle around.
You let out a hearty laugh.
Thamu screeches 'For some reason I think that skeleton will keep up his work in Seringale, but the final plot has been foiled.'
You nod.
You say 'No crazy in Serin.'
Thamu screeches 'Except us.'
You agree absolutely.

//Back to Seringale//
You roll on the floor, laughing hysterically.
Thamu screeches 'I wonder what would happen...'
You say 'Guess we'll have to wait till the moons align and find out.'
Thamu grumbles and growls. You wonder what's wrong...
Thamu screeches 'See...'
Thamu screeches 'We tried ale and pond juice before as experiments.'
You agree absolutely.
Thamu screeches 'This truly is a curious concoction.'
You say 'But...the first one gave you epilepsy and the second one resulted in salad.'
You shudder at the horror and repress tears.
Thamu waves a hand casually, brushing the comment away.
Thamu screeches 'Small prices and such.'
You say 'For Science.'
Thamu throws back her head and cackles with insane glee!
Thamu looks shocked momentarily.
Thamu screeches 'My creator said that all the time!'
You say 'Oh?'
Thamu yells 'For SCIENCE!'
Thamu screeches 'And then he would inject stuff into other stuff and see what would happen.'
You wince in agony.
Thamu shrugs helplessly.
Thamu screeches 'Oh.'
Thamu thinly and hoarsely screeches 'I need a new onion shirt. I donated mine to the cause.'
