I'm not sure when Vlad acquires the gold stone; it's before /Orca/ because Vlad is unwilling to take it off to teleport (when Loftis and whatisname are trailing him), but I think it's after /Athyra/ because Vlad has no problem teleporting in that book. Certainly in /Phoenix/ he only got a black stone from Aibynn. -Max -- Be pretty if you are, Be witty if you can, But be cheerful if it kills you.
