 		[INFO/SOURCE] ilovebees.com Image Text Snippets
It seems that the 'corrupted images' are caused by bits of text being stuck into the image binaries. We have been looking at the binaries of the jpegs & gifs on the web pages...when an image looks distorted, open it up with Notepad or somesuch, and look for a bit of text.

Start listing the bits of text you find....
I don't know if the name of the file you find it in is necessary.

[moderator note ]
The snippets of text were finally gathered all on one page in the Wiki -- and yes, keeping them together by image file was necessary.

 		I found this on "Manticore":

Quote:
Description
Physically, the manticore was know as having the body of a red lion, the face and ears of a blue eyes human and a tail ending in a sting like that of a scorpion. The mouth contains three rows of teeth and poisoned spines along the tail could be shot, like arrows in any direction. The manticore was also attributed with having a voice that was the mixture of pipes and a trumpet. The beast is very swift and makes very powerful leaps. The manticore is reputed to roam in the jungles of India, and is known to have an appetite for humans. Like its cousin, the Sphinx, it would often challenge its prey with riddles before killing.

image, image



Origin
The earliest accounts seem to be from Persian legend. The name itself is from the Old Persian martikhoras meaning 'man-eater'. The earliest accounts of the existence of the manticore come from the Persian courts in the fifth century B.C., documented by Ctesias, a Greek physician at the Persian court. Greek and Roman authors (Aristotle, Pliny) described the beast the same way the Persians had.



Symbol
In the middle ages, the manticore was the emblem for the prophet Jeremhia because the manticore lives in the depths of the earth and Jeremiah had been thrown into a dung pit. At the same time, the manticore became the symbol of tyranny, disparagement and envy, and ultimately the embodiment of evil. As late as the 1930s it was still considered by the peasants of Spain, to be a beast of ill omen.

Right. The snipets don't always appear together in the same file...I've been rearranging when I find that sort of thing.

Okay this is getting to be a novel, and I won't be able to actively play whatever it is anyway as I'm about to move......so good luck with finding out what it is and what to do with it.

Very Happy

Corrections:
"And when this" should be "And when this / Widow worked"

"sand, / and / the" should be "sand, / and / last / the"

(where /'s denote the breaks)

 		"had been mazed" by use of enchantment is something that's from Planescape, the AD&D add-on. If you played Planescape: Torment you might remember meeting Ravel, the hag, in the maze (seems to me you got there via a crystal ball or something).
