The lads once invited me join my own appreciation society as a Knight of The Brazen Serpent, but I took umbrage as it is only level 25 so I Groucho Marxed them and they left in a huff. Actually it was closer to a minute and a huff if memory serves. I've since regretted my somewhat charmless dismissal of the se well-meaning fellows, but could never track them down. I'll pop along one day and buy them all a snootful.
