Don't know the series or the book, I'm afraid.
But i do know, D&D, used to play it before changing to other RPGs.
I used to be president of the War Games and Role Playing Games society at university.
Haven't played for years now.
Good afternoon, Lena.:)
My eldest is going to university this year, his first year. So is this the sort of thing that they do at university?

My dogs were going ballistic earlier. They kept sniffing and barking at my car, so I went and opened the hood.
There was a rat trying to build a nest out of the hood liner! It totally ruined it and now I'll have to buy a new one... Good news is that my dogs made short work of that nasty rat.
My husband held it up so I could take a picture. He has really big hands. I measured the rat and it was 15inches from nose to end of tailView attachment 227464View attachment 227465
That looks like two rats. Rats should not be kept in pairs or groups for that matter...............................because they will take over.[emoji6]

Not my son. He slept, played computer games and football, and drank beer in his first year at university and sailed through getting top marks. It was much harder work in the second year and now he’s sweating over his final year project.

Well done dogs !
I often find mice that want to build a nest on the motor of my car but no rats.

What can I say. I'm into chicks lol

But really I've always lived chickens and had them most of my life. My favorites was my buff orpingtons they were the friendliest chickens I ever had.
I have an Orpington rooster called "Hugo". He calls every morning at 4 am !
I love him though. And I have black giant Brahmas. I love that big feathered chicken.

I used to have a whole flock of Black Australorps. - great, quiet, friendly and good layers of big brown eggs.

The Australorp is a chicken breed of Australian origin, developed as utility breed with a focus on egg laying. It achieved world-wide popularity in the 1920s after the breed broke numerous world records for number of eggs laid and has been a popular breed in the western world since.

Ever had silkies?
Silkies are the best moms. Had one that hatched 15chicks at one time and raised them all to adults. It was funny too watch her walk around with all those babies under her. She would stand up and half the chicks would stick under her, their little feet would dangle under her as she would shuffle along.
