Mordred Maerii sent the following report to TMN:

Today town was overwhelmed by some miserable little critters called Devil's Leeches. They bite really hard for something smaller than my toe, and they like to attack in swarms. I happened to be lounging in town by myself drinking some of Connie Crete's beer when they showed up. I killed a few, then they chased me into Gaia's Garden. I made faces at them from behind the fence and tried to alert the townfolk who were out hunting, but alas, the leeches learned to hop fences, and they laid the smackdown on me. Lots of folks fell, but eventually we rallied and fought them off. Town was saved, and I went back to Connie's beer. Uh, maybe don't mention the beer. . . Ooga!
