Zynx submitted the following report to TMN:

The last two weeks saw the New Year's celebrations, in the form of a Frivolous Friday, to close out the Bawkmas season, which was loads of fun. During the celebrations we had loads of fun, being allowed to be any critter we wanted for a few hours. There was a great battle in Town Center, in which we fought some re-creations of my ideas. My One Good Idea held out for a long time, killing most it came across in one hit. Alas, it was eventually slain.

I passed the third-circle test only a few days ago and I am now trying to qualify for gossamer. It is a boring and tedious exercise, let me tell you. While working on my gossamer qualification in the Vermine Tree, I met an unusually large and diverse swarm of vermines. They included many GV, about a dozen DV, a couple of Dark Vermine (as you can see from when I had nearly cleared the Vermine Tree) and even one solitary Demonic Vermine. Man it was tough, but I managed to clear it with much effort. I very nearly fell several times; thank the Gods for Troilus.
