   	Well we are up to chapter 5 and we know about the Earthquakes,   
   the volcanoes, Nero's propensity for Lyre recitals and his demand for   
   Plinius to attend a recital, meanwhile in Roma Nero is having nightmares   
   and Pliniux wants to stop and bathe in a Hot Spring but is about to   
   learn about Tsunami.
