In Beta testing or planning stage.  Not released yet.
-----------------------------------------------------
1) Gem Trader
   (c) Special random Event, if workable:  33% chance that an enemy
   shows up who is a top-notch wizard.  As you ride off on your new
   Horse, he casts a magic spell at you from ambush.  When your eyes
   clear from the blinding spell-light, you find yourself riding into
   Town, and hear lots of people laughing their heads off.  "What's
   up you say", and they say, "Oh boy do you look silly riding that
   Red Holstein cow.  You look down, and yep, that's a moo-cow steed.
   And it's time to milk her!  Funny Huh?

   Has zero REAL effect to LORD play, unless one could actually change
   the Horse to a Cow.  But not all script events have to make sense.
   Eventually, script will display an ANSI graphic of character riding
   a Cow on-screen if this scenario happens to you.  (D) Later version
   change:  When scripts can write to the Daily Happenings, everyone
   will know that this happened to you.  Necessary variables haven't
   been fully put into effect by Michael Preslar.  Will also require
   user to be using LORD v4.07 to run this Script's version.

2) Sexy-Sam(antha).  Ideas still in flux. Primarily for guys, but ladies
   will be covered as well - eventually.  Sequel to Gem Trader.  Will add
   an "parental advisory" to latter when this one is released.  Peddler
   Jack tells the guys, as they leave his camp: "Watch out warrior, my
   daughter Samantha is out there somewhere lying in wait for men.  She's
   uncontrollable, perpetually horny, and absolutely irresistable to
   men.  Her sex appeal and physical beauty rivals that of the Goddess
   Aphrodite, of Ancient Greece.  So she grabs any man who she finds,
   except for me, of course, (-- being her father, I'm safe --) and has
   her way with them.  If you're lucky, you'll survive OK.  Some poor
   souls do come down with HIV or Herpes."

   For Ladies:  You may just find Samantha and gossip about men.  Or
   you may get a chance to be seduced by her father, Peddler Jack.
   He not only does great potion deals, but is also quite the HUNK!!
   And yes, you will not be able to turn him down.  You think Seth
   the Bard is the cat's meow?  Well Jack taught Seth everything he
   knows about pleasing a Lady.

3) Charm Horse Deal:  You meet either a gorgeous young witch with the
   most awesome body you've ever seen, or a hunky warlock who leaves
   the ladies drooling.  OK, they preserve their youth by obtaining
   charm points from warriors while giving them the best sex they've
   ever had.  If you're on horseback already, you simply lose some
   charm points.  If you are on foot, they will sell you a Horse
   for 20 Charm (if Charm <= 200) or 30 Charm (if Charm > 200).
   Details are fuzzy as I don't when I will try writing this one.

4) Planned expansions, not sure when I'll do them:
   a) In Polish Armour - Blacksmith will still give free cleaning,
      which gives you some Defense points.  He asks if you'll pay
      him some Gems. Say yes, and your armour is made like new
      again, from magic and plain elbow grease.  Results in extra
      Defense points, based on user's Game Level.
   b) In Sharpen Weapon - Blacksmith normally gives your weapon a
      quick repair job.  Swords are sharpened a bit, Longbow gets
      new String, etc.  You get some Strength points for free.  Pay
      him some Gems, and he makes the weapon like new.  Result is
      more Strength, based on Level.

      Probable fee will be 5 Gems, with maximum reward of 30 points
      approximately for Level 12 player.  If user chooses the Gems
      payment option, their free points are included in the new
      Strength/Defense point reward.

Possible:  An script that awards player with a Skill point if they
  can match the criteria/plot, whatever.  Will take a lot of time
  to figure out how best to do.  No name in mind yet.  Intended use
  will be for eventual replacement of Unusable Lord IGMs with
  scripts that do as much of their plot as can easily be reproduced.
