Chris Rex's Amnesia; Local Thoom Offends Birds

Creed sent the following report to TMN:

Hail Para,

I wanted to submit some sketches for your fine publication of a few recent incidents in Puddleby.

The first one is purely for entertainment purposes. We all know that Crius can sometimes be a bit ... literal. Well, I was checking the Informer scroll recently and found a rather obvious example of this...

Heh.

Anyway, the second report is a little more serious and interesting. Long-missing exile Chris Rex made an appearance in town recently. He seemed to have little memory of his past in Puddleby, even having trouble remembering his wife Connie Crete when prodded by other exiles. In fact, as you can see, he even said that Connie was NOT his wife . . . "per se." Whatever that means!

I hope that Chris might return soon so that this can be cleared up . . . perhaps even Connie herself will be around to chat with him.

Finally, I'd like to offer some sketches of the recent Agronox invasion. I understand there was a preliminary bird invasion a few days before, with hummingbirds, black bloodhawks, giant scavenger birds, and other feathered monsters. Some of these made another appearance with the Agronox, but it was these latter huge colorful creatures that seemed most aggressive during the second invasion. They dragged Stora away and did much damage in town center.

When a group went to Metz to try to rescue Stora, we were confronted with a large number of enraged Agronox right on shore blocking our entrance from the cove. As you can see, they were particularly aggressive towards Jeepers, who is rumored to have "caused" the invasion by antagonizing the birds and dragging dozens of their broken bodies around town behind him on a chain.

While in the cove, we were repeatedly attacked by creatures that looked and behaved like Baltoise but were actually called Chicken of the Sea! Finally one broke the security of the beach/water dividing line and flew out over the water to attack us. It took quite some time before a group of strong exiles managed to subdue most of the Agronox and rescue Stora. He was nearly unrecognizable when brought back to town, but was eventually raised.

Cheers,
-Creed

P.S. Apologies for the profanity in that second-to-last image . . . needless to say I was a bit surprised...
