Freelance reporter Slyph sent this bulletin to TMN:
"It all started when Baffina killed a frog a day earlier. What an exile took for happenstance later turned deadly for that same exile -- and for Puddleby. Retaliating against amphibian slaughter, dozens of frogs stormed Town Square, occupying it for hours. People are still missing. Trainers mutter about moving. Frogs legs are vanishing from menus. Yes, it's a new dawn in Puddleby and it's green. Sweet Gaia, save us. It's green."
Received shortly afterwards:
"My Gaia, they're shooting lightning, now. This may be my last update, Para.
-Slyph"
Bakunan sent TMN the following transcript:
Farhope thinks, "emer in a farm?"
Farhope thinks, "she is fallen to a frog"
Nekrataal thinks, "healer in townhall. cant go out. frog kills all people."
Arod thinks, "you're kidding, right? :)"
Tippy thinks, "frog one killing whole town"
Bakunan has fallen to a Frog.
Bakunan says, "Holy crud"
Nekrataal thinks, "ask mork, he fallen to frog, too"
Arod says, "now there's something I thought I'd never see: "you helped vanquish a frog""
Chi sent the following report to TMN:
"Mai, Gaia, and many others have always said to leave the frogs alone. Isn't this common exile knowledge at this point?! Does anyone listen!? No! I may be mistaken, but I believe Slyph was the prime instigator of this frog invasion. Even Edric, the free librarian, got involved."
