- My recollection is that they and their eagle roommates helped Our Heros
- out of a jam. They were in dire need of a path to warmer weather and
- to the title gate.
-
- BTW Our Heros included Clothahump the Wizard, Jon-tom the title
- spellsinger, and Mudge the walking gonads. Their respective species
- were turtle, human, and otter. There was also a spider whose name
- I forget, but should also be included in Our Heros. I don't remember
- if the rabbit was with them at this time.
-
- BTW this newsreader chokes on newsgroups that it doesn't know about.
- I don't know if there is an alt.fan.lemurs, but I had to remove it
- from the newsgroups list.
