After keeping this poor excuse of a human knock spell with my group for 8 lvls, I decided it was time to ask him to leave. Unfortunately he wouldnt leave. By some bug he was not getting the message to get lost in either Hommlet or Nulb. I had no choice but to seek out a random encounter and withdraw everyone but Furnock from the fight. He died alone in the road,abandoned by his companions. Who then looted his body and sold a 12,000gp ring he had but never used. A feel sorry for poor Furnock, but at least he will never cheat at cards again. Stew
