This whole dream just needs to be quoted from the dream thread:
Shm Jay wrote:I had this horrible dream where I dreamt some people (like a gang) firebombed my old (town)house in Toronto and all that was left was the top floor, and so many people were standing around gawking but I couldn't get anyone to store some stuff with them so that when the firebombers came back to finish the job it wouldn't be destroyed. Then there was this short brass witch who claimed to be behind the whole thing. I tried to push her off the ledge, but she was too strong, or too magic, to do so, and she could hang on by one claw and grip the ledge with huge force. So I came to the conclusion that I had to be her servant.

I really would like to point out that, as I said in that thread, I was extremely tired in that thread and wrote "breach-loader" when I meant to say "muzzle-loader". I fully know the difference, and it was a momentary gaffe. And I think it's a bit intellectually dishonest of Arzena to quote me there out of context.Arzena wrote:Delthayre wrote:She should have been using a muzzle-loading smoothbore musket, just like the founding fathers.Xephyr wrote:Unless she was using a breach-loader, I guess.
