It was morning when Quig got back from his "ore exploratory" trip and Quig
was tired.  There was a limit to how long someone could stay awake by drinking
Mountain Dew, and the last 34 hours had pushed it.

"Well, first a little shut eye" muttered Quig "and then I'll pop into the 'Rest"

Directing his (now squealing) skimmer to go to the boarding house where he was
renting a room, Quig set the auto-pilot and then sat back.  Reflecting on his
recent trip, he figured that this upcoming "adventure" was going to be more 
dangerous than he had initially thought it would be.

First there was the increased amount of moisture in tunnel 339-Oh-7 and the
subsequent TiMarks he encountered.  Wherever you saw TiMarks, there were likely
to be Dracturons, or something worse.  Then he found a partial collapse at Seller's Junction, beneath Mount Euphrosyne.  It had taken him awhile to clear a path through there.  And then those electronic "thingy's".  Whatever they were, they were
probably trouble. And then...  And then... Sigh...

While he was musing, the skimmer had arrived at an old run down establishment.  
A gaudy sign read "Bernie's house of pleasure: Ask, we got it!"  In smaller
letters were written "Boarders welcomed, cash up front".  The place was quiet,
except for the occasional clientele seen leaving.  Quig wandered through the
front door, ignoring the garrish decor, the half naked professionals, and climbed
up the stairs.  Down one hall, then another, finally coming to a door marked 
"Private.  Keep out".  Pressing his hand on the palm lock, he opened the door
and entered his room.

"First some sleep, then the 'Haven"...

ADMIN: TiMarks are small reptilian creatures.  About 2 feet long, they look
like a small stegosaur, though their skin is mottled black and green.  They
are herbivores.  Commonly found underground, in swampy areas.

ADMIN: Dracturons are large (up to 12 feet long), winged, carnivorous animals
which prey on animals up to half their size.  Loosely described as a cross be-
tween a bat and a winged tyrannosaur, they are vicious, easily agitated, and
always voracious.
