Dudley's dungeon

The waterDay after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere
Nor any drop to drink.

          Coleridge ]

occupied rivers, forests, ponds, etc.  A nymph's beauty is
beyond words:  an ever-young woman with sleek figure and
long, thick hair, radiant skin and perfect teeth, full lips
and gentle eyes.  A nymph's scent is delightful, and her
long robe glows, hemmed with golden threads and embroidered
with rainbow hues of unearthly magnificence.  A nymph's
demeanour is graceful and charming, her mind quick and witty.

"Theseus felt her voice pulling him down into fathoms of
sleep.        The song was the skeleton of his dream, and the dream
was full of terror.  Demon girls were after him, and a bull-
man was goring him.  Everywhere there was blood.  There was
pain.  There was fear.        But his head was in the nymph's lap
and her musk was about him, her voice weaving the dream.  He
knew then that she had been sent to tell him of something
dreadful that was to happen to him later.  Her song was a
warning.  But she had brought him a new kind of joy, one that
made him see everything differently.  The boy, who was to
become a hero, suddenly knew then what most heroes learn
later -- and some too late -- that joy blots suffering and
that the road to nymphs is beset by monsters."

stole a blessed     
unicorn hornMen have always sought the elusive unicorn, for the single
twisted horn which projected from its forehead was thought to
be a powerful talisman.  It was said that the unicorn had
simply to dip the tip of its horn in a muddy pool for the water
to become pure.  Men also believed that to drink from this horn
was a protection against all sickness, and that if the horn was
ground to a powder it would act as an antidote to all poisons.
Less than 200 years ago in France, the horn of a unicorn was
used in a ceremony to test the royal food for poison.

Although only the size of a small horse, the unicorn is a very
fierce beast, capable of killing an elephant with a single
thrust from its horn.  Its fleetness of foot also makes this
solitary creature difficult to capture.  However, it can be
tamed and captured by a maiden.  Made gentle by the sight of a
virgin, the unicorn can be lured to lay its head in her lap, and
in this docile mood, the maiden may secure it with a golden rope.
[ Mythical Beasts, by Deirdre Headon (The Leprechaun Library) ]

Martin took a small sip of beer.  "Almost ready," he said.
"You hold your beer awfully well."
Tlingel laughed.  "A unicorn's horn is a detoxicant.  Its
possession is a universal remedy.  I wait until I reach the
warm glow stage, then I use my horn to burn off any excess and
keep me right there."

stole the blessed   
+7 GrayswandirWhy had I been wearing Grayswandir?  Would another weapon have
affected a Logrus-ghost as strongly?  Had it really been my
father, then, who had brought me here?  And had he felt I might
need the extra edge his weapon could provide?  I wanted to
think so, to believe that he had been more than a Pattern-ghost.
