Oh, gee.  The funny thing is, RACC knows where Gavrilo is, and we've 
been talking about tying that in with a Legion of Net.Heroes plot. 
(ref.: Just Another Multi-Writer Cascade That Will Probably Never Have 
an Ending #9!)  But I'm not inclined to send any of my characters to 
fiddle with a universe which has The Red Hand of General Dragutin.  8{o> 
  Besides, it looks like your storyline is under nice control - and I 
think a Super Wizard story works better when Dead is Dead and Gone is Gone.

Yay, more Super Wizard stories!
