I was a first year student in Linkoping fall of 94 and this goof in my class showed me the way down to the Lysator house on campus. Coming into the house I ran into this huge feller, later I was to learn his Nanny name to be Gruhl, and a couple of his friends who were also playing Nanny. They spoke very warmly of Nanny and I realized I had to give it a shot. So I logged on, joined mages guild and got, ahem, lost.
I ended up in Gleep's lair

, not very frightful, how bad can a Gleep be? Got instructions how to get out of there, back then, noone really wanted to go have tea with the Gleepster. Messed up the directions, ended up in a rift with a lion

. Oh joy! I musta pissed and moaned quite a bit about it, because before very long Gurk was there, had me join his party and raced back to grassie. I was overjoyed. Nothing like a first impression.
Funniest thing is I never found that lion again. Come to think of it I never even looked for it.
