Just a quick note ... I noticed that my fighter was hurt by the horns of
a hippo.  I hate to be overly pedantic but hippos don't have horns.  If
they attack (and they are quite territorial) they'll stomp you to paste.

p.s. Yes, I *have* been that close to wild hippos (canoeing the Zambezi river
     in Zimbabwe).

Oops, that's very true. I was thinking of a rhinoceros wasn't I?  I remember a friend of mine who was born in Malawi telling me about hippos liking to stomp, and that they don't like fire. They were apparently camping somewhere in Malawi, and had a campfire going, and hippos came out of the night, stomping out the fire and scaring them witless! :)
