Chapter 3: Rincewind's 3,347th Near Death Experience

"Oh stercus stercus stercus, moriturus sum!" shouted Rincewind as he ran through the sacred Temple of Truth. Once again, guards were after him waving their swords.

He ran until he entered the Truth Garden, where many monks were meditating in silence.
