@Anduin - Slow movement is actually very handy! The lady I want to give it to doesn't move at all, so she'll be happy to have a familiar that never strays too far. I will buy it. Is the delivery to Baldur's Gate possible before the weekend? If not, please address it to the Jovial Juggler in Beregost, where I will be staying for my visit of said cleric friend.
Errr... This Pet Rock caused me some problems... Errr... But not anymore... In fact the last time this Pet Rock caused me problems was so long ago, it was as if it was from a previous life! (from the pet rocks perspective...)
Will this specimen do? I'll knock a little bit off the price if your happy due to its unboxed condition... However it looks a bruiser... A fine frontline trooper in the making!
Always glad to have another satisfied customer @KidCarnival a pleasure working with you! Your Pet Rock has been summoned to the Jovial Juggler.
Where was I... I appear to have lost the thread... Oh yes. How did those Basilisks get on top of Durlag's Tower... In a moment of madness I have left them there! I better hop to it quick and retrieve them (and any newly appeared pet rocks / sculptures) before an adventurer mistakes my Gargoyle Creator Tools (Create the sculpture of your dreams in seconds!) for aliens or monsters...
@bill_zagoudis Who is this DM you speak of? I put them there for my client, who, due to the nature of client confidentiality (that we, at Gargoyles Direct take very seriously), cannot reveal...
I can reveal however that Owen Perril was a past client of mine before he hit the news for being snatched into the void by a Dire Mole... A real tragedy. I send a rock each year to his mother...
However I cannot compute your prejudice in ignoring the existence of things whilst besmirching his name?
What is your relationship to Owen Perril? And what do you know?
~gazes upon @Samus~ You remind me of my old neighbor. Have you, by any chance, lived in the Underdark at some point?
Regarding the DM. It obviously stands for Deutschmark, which is the currency Owen Perril has offered me for certain insights as to why there are Gargoyle Creator Tools on the roof of Durlag's tower. In an amazing coincidence, it turned out that "DM" was also relevant in this regard, as it stands for "Durlag's Mother". She has been an aspiring rock artist in her younger years and used these tools to create the statues now stored in DB (Durlag's Basement).
@Samus Can I enquire if you have ever Met Roid? Roid is a personal friend of mine and has often mentioned a dark comely lass of your appearance on his travels...
@KidCarnival My secrets out! You must have eyes everywhere! Oh! Hang on, you... do... err... Nice hair...
Hmm @KidCarnival looks different.. I think it has something to do with his eyes...
Humph. My eyes are special too...
WARNING! Science Content!
It has to do with the types of light receptive cells that are in the retina of the eyes of most animals. There are two types of these light receptive cells: rod cells and cone cells. The amount and ratio of these two cells that is in the eyes of each animal varies from species to species. Rod cells are the smaller and more numerous ones that are mainly responsible for low light or black and white vision. Cone cells are the larger and less numerous ones and are mainly responsible for enhancing quality of vision in plentiful light settings. One of the cone cell's primary functions is granting color vision. Cone cells come in different types, each sensitive to a certain frequency range of light which the brain translates into a color. There are many cone cells in the typical eye but very few different types of cone cells. Human eyes have four different types of cone cells: one is sensitive to "red" one to "yellow" another to "green" and the other to "blue". Four different cone cells is more than many animals have in their eyes (cows and cats have only two IIRC) but it is far from being the most. Of all known animal species in the world, the one with the most different types of cone cells in its eyes, and the one dubbed as having the best color vision in the world is the mantis shrimp-Odontodactylus Scyllarus (my current avatar) with a whopping twelve different types of cone cells!

As you are aware random portals to the ethereal planes are a constant danger to the unwary.
If you continue with these crude, base, assertions I will be forced to send the Stone Golems round (they hate being called heavies...)
Think about the poor family she left behind...
Are we clear?
Of course he is... that's why we had to make him a beta tester...
Would the Lady prefer a Pet rock?
A Greater Pet rock?
Or a Supreme Pet rock?

Yes, this is exactly what I had in mind! Very generous of you; a real bargain. I expect the arrival in the Jovial Juggler.

*grows more eyes*
We'll see! I have a lot room for more eyes, no useless extremities in the way!
Oops.
I'm human. Of course you have more eyes. I only have 3, like all humans.
