ERIC...
Pity he's not very good at it.
All he wants is his three wishes granted.Nothing fancy-to be immortal, rule the world,
have the most beautiful woman in the world fall madly in love with him.The usual stuff.
But instead of a tractable demon,he calls up Rincewind, probably the most incompetent
wizard in the universe, and the extremely intractable and hostile form of travel accessory
known as the luggage.
With them on his side, Eric's in for a ride through space and time that is bound to make
him wish (quite fervently) again-this time- that he'd never been born.

The last thing the wizard Drum Billet did before Death laid a bony hand
on his shoulder, was to pass on his staff of power to the eighth son of

babie's sex...

than certain playwrites would have you believe...

Type:Teppic
"This is where the dragons went. They lie... not dead, not asleep, but...
dormant. And although the space they occupy isn't like normal space,
neverhteless they are packed in tightly. They could put you in mind of a

presumably, somewhere, there's the key.........
