Exiles fought a lava invasion of town today. A firewalker took up residence in Mai's Garden briefly before it was destroyed by angry exiles.
A Fire Drake appeared afterwards. This Fire Drake appeared to be tougher than usual and exiles were unable to kill it.
Update: The drake was defeated. J'nder reports: "The drake kept roaming town until it was challenged in south town. A group of exiles surrounded it, and after an epic three-hour battle the drake was defeated." Thanks to J'nder for sending to TMN the images below:
Hey Drakey
Pull Silence
Drake defeated
You can read more about the Fire Drake in Azriel's latest journal entry, dated 59 Winter 551. He also reports on Marsh Hermit's path to the forest disappearing and on dispatching Bloodwyrms.

A chest will be nice since not all of us can tag it.

I wasn't hiding! I had some, er, important research that took me to the far corner of the library!
Algernon was muttering something about Zonk just before the town was hit by an earthquake.
Posted by: Malkor on August 1, 2003 12:57 AMYes and Malkor refused to give free atkusboosts to exiles to kill the drake! Maybe healers should think about charging money to heal Malkor in future?
Posted by: Wise on August 1, 2003 05:06 AMThe drake got kiled in a long and heavy fight by many brave exiles!
Posted by: Mani on August 1, 2003 06:31 AMFree akea boosts from Malkor? Tha SF outpost be open, so I guess anythin be possible.
Beer!

Posted by: Connie Crete on August 1, 2003 07:42 AMI'd be surprised if Malkor even had an Akea wand to give these free boosts with.
Posted by: on August 1, 2003 08:49 AMThe Fire Drake is dead, finally. All of town got together to bring it down this morning (took 40 minutes of swinging!).
Posted by: Azriel on August 1, 2003 09:35 AMI wonder if that was the drake everybody's been hearing all over the place lately. If so, its demise seems a bit anti-climactic.
Posted by: Sunoril on August 1, 2003 11:20 AMSomething i thought very strange about this fire drake (apart from being stronger than normal that is) was that at no time during all the time we were fighting it did it flame anybody.
Posted by: Mjollnir on August 1, 2003 02:01 PMSounds like a hot time!
I bet it was just a tool used to smoke out the opposition.
