Talk:The Danger Gang Busts Into Hephaestus' Forge

Kerry: Goddamn it, Hal, are you on a volcano kick until someone falls in lava? Every party is either in or has just left a freakin' volcano. My calculations give a p value of around 1e-9.

Hal: I accept no blame, as one party sought to enter a known volcano, another one tracked down Ayesha, who dwells in a volcano, and third decided to go to the forge of Vulcan, which everyone knows is situated in a volcano. I admit this is weird, but in no case (with one possible exception) was it my idea.

Also, Chrysopolis is erupting!

Also, volcano = pretty sweet!

Chris: Volcano also equals an under-rated film. It has it's charms.

Melanie: and why does Ayesha live in a volcano? I know it can get cold in the middle of the African jungle but still....

Hal: Hey, I don't make this stuff up.

Chris: I thought you made all of this up. It all sprung from your imagination fully formed, like Athena from Zeus' skull (which you also made up).

Hal: Heck no. It's all "stranger than fiction."

Melanie : Ya, 'cause I mean who would make up a lion-with-eagles-coming-out-of-its-ears, or a serpopard(there was proof for this one) if they hadn't actually seen one ^_^

Hal: All this volcano talk reminds me of an amusing anecdote. Many years ago, when the Old Party was in the New World, they were racing through a dungeon and came across a room half filled with lava. Everyone immediate says, "I disbelieve." They didn’t know that there is always lava.
