Callus sent the following report to TMN:

"Mjollnir was in town with the wand given by Fat Alice to cure those exiles inflicted with the lyfe disease. Four exiles were cured: Lister, Stinkfist, Coeur de Leon and Rincewind. Then something not-so-surprising happened. The wand had used up all of its charges! There was a brief outcry for Fat Alice's blood to be spilled before a group went to go speak to her. The discussion that was held was quite brief: Alice offered the exiles another wand for the paltry sum of 200,000 coins. She also expressed a keen interest in the gem, but has little in the way of offering in return."
