This list is paying off already! Thanks for the background on Khalid. I'm still struggling with the apparent schism between his being a bad-ass, ambitious SOB and his being a (relatively) selfless servant of God, but it'll come together. It seems to me that he and Dominic are set up for a Fall, though of course to have risen to this level they must have their act pretty well together.... - -- Don "Everyone is entitled to an *informed* opinion." -- H.

DEMONS AND THEIR BACKRUBS A Balseraph would go into a massage parlor claiming to be a reviewer for Backrubs Monthly. Djinn couldn't care less about backrubs. A Calabite would turn to someone and say, "You know, when I get these knots in my muscles, it makes me want to break things." A Habbalite would torture someone with guilty feelings until he broke down and rubbed the demon's back. A Lilim would walk up to a stranger, bite her lip and say, "Don't you owe me a backrub?" A Shedite would possess one person, start him giving someone else a backrub, then moce into the other person's body to enjoy the experience. An Impudite would rather give a backrub -- and take advantage of the opportunity to steal some Essence.

I just got on the list, and while I enjoyed the Demonic Backrubs, I would appreciate if you could send in the bit about Khalid. jdye@juno.com The GM god ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Jan 1997 19:12:42 -0600 From: dpearcy@io.com (Derek Patton Pearcy) Subject: Re: What happen to Khalid? Let's try not to clutter the list with massive repostings. Okay, it's not like it's crowded now, but I'm going to post the digests off the In Nomine home page: www.io.com/sjgames/in-nomine -- for those who don't have it bookmarked. You can find what you're looking for there. Usually, you can hit www.sjgames.com/in-nomine, but I think IO has been having some problems. Again.
