[D&D - FR] Orcus, the Demon Lord

I have seen several references to Orcus, the Demon Lord, and something called "The Wand of Orcus" and I was wondering who he is, what power he has, and a little bit of his history. I have some 3rd Edition books, so if there's a reference in Faiths and Patheons I'll be happy with that, but ...

Yeah, they Dutch did. Plenty. But the Dutch stopped that when they decided to hand back all the colonies they looted and pillaged.

I'd start with the filenames, which, sadly, you'll have to do manually. You can ID3 and ID3v2 all you want, but if you don't start with a decent filing system you'll still end up getting nowhere. I suggest you group all mp3's of the same band/musician in a directory, grouped by album if you've got w...

My attitude has always been that the musicians and bands should publish the music themselves and send it out over the net, charging $3 bucks an album, which is more than they get off the sale of each CD anyway. Yeah, and hundreds of bands are giving away their music for free on mp3.com, just so the...

Under the care of a person with the Heal skill, and while resting, a character will regain three hit points per level per day.
