The porn was on other disks (and there was a lot of it).
The empress getting pwned was also on there:
*** Baron Malwind steps toward the front of the platform and raises his hands, waiting for the crowd to quiet down. ***
Wearing gold-trimmed garments in the baronial colors of white and forest green, Baron Malwind appears to be in the prime of his life, if a bit on the portly side.
>l
The area is hushed now. All in attendance are paying attention to the speaker. No one fidgets, no coughs break the silence. Even the seagulls perched on nearby pilings seem quiet as you join the crowd.
Baron Malwind smiles out over the assembled crowd and announces in a loud voice, "Citizens and friends, we are blessed today to hear the words of the Empress of Turamzzyrian Empire. Without further delay, I give you the Empress Mynal'lyanna!" and he steps back and to the side.
The Empress nods graciously to the baron and steps forward to speak, "Greetings, citizens of Solhaven, Vornavis and visitors! It is Our pleasure to be here in this lovely city within this, one of the Empires' most cosmopolitan baronies!"
The Empress continues, " As We look out over this crowd, We see that mix of peoples and cultures which together make this community and this barony one of the strongest, culturally, within Our borders. We stand before you confident that Our pride in your accomplishments and courage nearly rival your own!"
Smiling, she takes a breath, "For it was just recently that this city was assaulted by forces of darkness - when the mettle of its citizens and the loyalty of its neighbors was put to the test! And this city, with the help of those who hold it dear, withstood the predations of evil, and fought with its heart and soul...and survived intact! Proclaiming to any who might think to test its resolve, that this city and its allies are formidable foes to any who would trespass or cast their shadow over this land!"
As she pauses to hear the reaction of the crowd, a leather-shrouded head and set of shoulders emerge among the waves of the Bay, a crossbow is lifted into view, and a bolt is loosed at the Empress from below, up over the bridge and the amassed crowd! A brilliant flash erupts as the bolt encounters the magical wards in place, but a black crystal core within the bolt continues on and impales the Empress from below the chin, up through Her skull. Transfixed, She stiffens and then falls from view among the crowd of attendees!
*** Calm and order disintegrate as orders are shouted and guards and courtiers react! ***

You had better pay your guild dues before you forget. You are 113 months behind.
