Paramedic!

Your long lost journalist has a new report.

Today, or rather this night, Fordi, the 59th day of Winter in the 570th year of the Ascendancy (OOC 2008-02-28), I discovered an Ethereal Portal close to Puddleby. It's located in the South Forest, just one sne'll south of the southern east farms.

Several exiles experimented with it, and Darkmos was even able to enter it and survive long enough to take a portal back into the South Forest. Gremlins was the first exile to come help me investigate the portal and after a while Darkmos, Raymond Shifter, and Starsword Eojek joined the curious crowd. At one point ethereal critters started to leak out, but as far as I know, only slugs made it. They made it very uncomfortable for me.

I include a sketch of the portal.

Fyr'hiel Nai'nien sent the following report to TMN:

H'loi Para,

Just wanted to let you and your readers know about a large vermine invasion that happened a few days ago. It was about midday, when Puddleby was wracked by a series of very large earthquakes. Once the earth finally settled, vermine began pouring out of the ground from all directions. The vermine ranged from little rats, to fearsome Large Death Vermine. The whole invasion lasted for about an hour, at which point a party hunting in Toks returned to town to clean up the mess. The attached sketch shows me doing my part to keep the invasion at bay.

Hail Para,

I have a couple more amusing sketches of the megamouths in town, if you are interested in adding them.

I'd also like to submit a cute sketch of Alley Cat taking on a would-be invader of our fair town. Several of us egged Alley on as she kicked Darshak heiney. It's good to have an Alley Cat on our side!

Cheers,

Inu Teisei sent the following annoucement to TMN:

Hello Para,

After many months of rehearsing, Puddleby Players finally presented "The Trial Of Manticore"! For those that could not attend, I have posted a copy of the visionstone (made by the one known as the Dour Wench) to the Laughing Academy site.

The link to the visionstone is in the top section entitled "New News".

The visionstone contains most of the preshow entertainment, the performance itself, and a bit of the aftershow celebrations.

OOC Note: (1) It was made on a Windows machine and is zipped. (2) Turn off saving your text log while running it, as it has a bit of a spaminess to it.

Measle reports in his most recent journal entry on an unusual appearance in Town Center of Megamouths.

Several exiles present today at the celebration of Fen President Odesseus noted that a member of the audience seemed to resemble in voice and manner former Fen Vice President Largo. Could Largo have disguised and shaved himself to attend the ceremony?

CJ parker sent the following report to TMN:

Scoop found, no ice cream though!

PAG & EAT recently held their usual monthly (OOC) meeting to explore the Orga Stronghold. The front door is very well protected, and despite a few efforts on previous trips, we have since given up using that entrance and use the back door instead. It's a longer trip, but a little easier. It requires two mystics to port us, but we are usually lucky enough to have two or three with us, so porting our numbers through the Slate Caves is usually not an issue.

Recently, we found Katpus and Trillbane, and the trips have focused around getting people to Trillbane and PF checking every inch of the Orga Stronghold. This is a dangerous, long, and somewhat tiresome task at times (tree humping as we call it).

We have checked all areas within the Stronghold and found no new areas, although we have found a few shortcuts within the area and a few quicker ways home.

Our main task has been trying to understand exactly what we are doing here, and to figure out what Katpus is meaning by, "if you have any catapult parts or plans, I'd love to see them". We have found three pieces of parchment plans now, and these are the real deal, not the fake ones which we found a while ago in the last snell of the Stronghold. Unfortunately, Katpus doesn't know what to do with these. Although we showed him them all and tried many ways to get him to acknowledge our achievements, he didn't change his tack.

Somewhat disappointed with this fact, the group has been a bit down on the past few trips, seeing no way to actually help Katpus, and finding no clues as to our next goal, As a result, our attendance and willingness to take four-hour (OOC) trips is waning, obviously! The last trip, however, saw what might be deemed as a breakthrough: we found a piece of catapult!

An Orga Loathing, a fearsome beast, dropped a piece of the catapult: a scoop, to be exact. Shiner picked it up, and we then headed towards Katpus. Now, my memory is a little faded on this part, but we all gathered at Katpus and waited for his smiling face to tell us something new as we handed him the part. Well, he took the part but said he needed more, or that's what we think he said. He didn't say that much at all, a quiet one is this Katpus (must be all the years alone out here).

We then hunted around for more loathings. We found a few, but none gave us any more parts. All we can presume now is that we need to hunt down loathings and get parts. How many, who knows; how often the loathings will drop them, we don't know; how long it will take, I wish we knew!

The main focus of the group is now to kill loathings and find parts. We have a goal again, so we hope we can complete it quickly. Our success depends on how lucky we are with loathings, we think. If anyone finds parts, please let a member of our groups know.

When we have any more news, we'll let everyone know. Oh, if I got any details wrong then exiles can correct me. Unfortunately, I don't have any recent pictures of the recent hunts.

Measle sent the following announcement to TMN:

G'day Para and by way of him all of Puddleby,

Another journal entry and a last minute plea to get people to turn up to the controversial new play "The Trial of Manticore" this Saturday at 10:00AM EST.

Pocket mystics have threatened to picket the theatre claiming that the play depicts them unfairly, despite the fact that they haven't read the script yet.

Non-pocket mystics have also threatened to picket, so we could have one of the dullest PvP fights ever seen in the theatre foyer. I urge the people of Puddleby to come judge for themselves, and bring pies and flingerlings. If they like what they see throw it at the protesters, if they don't throw them at the actors, particularly Pun.

Fen President Odesseus has announced the time and details of his Giant Presidential Fête:

After thinking and preparing, I've decided to hold the Giant Presidential Fête on this coming Saturday, February 16 at noon Pacific (that would be 3PM Eastern, 8 PM UTC) to be held in the Bard Field.

There will be much to eat and drink, songs galore (by whichever other Bard I can coerce into playing), merriment, and jocularity, AND perhaps we can coerce the Puddleby Players into reprising a section of their earlier played play (which is scheduled at 7AM Pacific, prior to the party, that very day!) The Trial of MANTICORE!

I will be giving my Big Presidential Acceptance Speech and announcing the Fen VP!

Inu Teisei sent the following report to TMN:

Hola Para,

Today for our Laughing Academy clan hunt we joined the rescue effort at Jades. Well, after our botched—er, fun rescue at Jades, all the participating exiles came back to Town Center and, lo and behold, guess what happened? It was the first ever Laughing Academy-sponsored Brew & Brawl Fest. Granted, we declared it that after it all began, but we did supply some beverages (albeit meager, as it was a spur of the moment thing). Anyway, since it was so much fun, and there were so many fallen, it seemed like the right thing for us to do. So the second Sunday of every month (at around 5pm EST OOC), LA will upon return from our open clan hunt and host a drunken brawlfest in Town Center. Beverages to be provided and maybe a few extra goodies. Exiles are welcome to bring their own paint, pies, and favorite beverages as well! I say this will keep Chikun, our clan brewer, quite busy!

Oh, and another thing, I will be buying hops and yeast in the days before the clan hunts and the follow-on BrewNBrawlFest. See you in the lands!

Pretty sketches attached.

The good tidings surrounding the recent election of Fen President Odesseus unfortunately do not completely erase the lingering question: what happened to Fen Vice President Largo? Largo would have presumably been the front-runner in a race to replace Manx.

Will Puddleby see Largo again? Or will his legacy remain that of a political opportunity unfortunately missed?

As we look forward to a new Fen Administration, and think of those past, let's review the final entries in Largo's Journal, which unfortunately did not get posted onto TMN previously:

Newly elected Fen President Odesseus has a rough political road ahead of him. The Fen Presidency has been under a cloud for months as former Fen President Manx and former Fen Vice President Largo have both vanished from Puddleby during their time in office.

During these troubled times, exiles await Odesseus' acceptance speech and the announcement of his pick for Fen Vice President. TMN will bring readers the news as soon as it is available.

The Puddleby Players have announced their new upcoming production:

TMN Breaking News

Odesseus has won the Fen Presidency with 66% of the vote.

#453: Who has your support for the office of Fen President?
10 (6%): Daimoth
10 (6%): Kerrah
105 (66%): Odesseus
26 (16%): Phineas, a.k.a. Fen-eas
7 (4%): None of the above
1 (1%): Abstain
159 voters

This is the largest victory in the history of the Fen Presidency. Odesseus has a clear mandate coming out of this election. Pundits are already speculating about the rising fortunes of Odesseus' clan, Rising Claw. This is a remarkable political comeback for a candidate who lost out to "None of the Above" in the last election.

This election also includes the largest turnout in the history of the Fen Presidency. More exiles than ever made it to the polling booth, and when they went they voted predominantly "Odesseus."

For purposes of comparison, here are the tallies for the previous elections:

#431: Who has your support for the position of Fen President?
22 (20%): Daimoth
56 (50%): Manx

Kani sent the following report to TMN:

H'loi Para,

Just thought I'd share recent events of note.

It was an ordinary autumn morning, and a crowd of us were lounging in town as only exiles know how, chatting and listening to Janus play tunes pilfered from various bards. We heard a shout from the east, "This town be ours!" but suggested that the erstwhile invaders come back later.

A few moments afterwards they showed up in a large, well-organized crowd. They didn't attack, though . . . just demanded muzack!

Janus played for a while, but when they offered to let us keep the town if we'd give him over, he took off. An invasion commenced—including t'rools not seen before, such as Jun'kin, Bar'kin, Kil'kin and Deth'kin. Given the names, it sounds as though the t'rool people have been tutored by the Orga.

Ayella showed up later to play harp, but the t'rool-kin rudely interrupted her (sketch below, Ayella not pictured).

Cheers,
-Kani

Odesseus sent the following political statement to TMN. TMN will provide any of the candidates with free space to present their views.

My Statement For Fen President

by Odesseus

So now that I'm Fen President . . . aren't I? Is the voting over? No? Well, hm.

Ok, IN THE HIGHLY LIKELY EVENT I am voted Fen President, first of all I'd like to say I've been the runningest Fen president EVER! I've run for Fen President every time! So I've had LOTS of experience running for Fen President.

Unfortunately, I've also LOST to everyone else, every time, even against people who didn't care that they were running. So I know the taste of defeat, but I also know how to RISE ABOVE IT!

I'm also the clan leader of Rising Claw (hence the Rising Above It idea, get it?), one of the most respected and long-lived clans. That counts for something, right? (Sorry, but our scrolls got burned in an invasion a while ago and I haven't rewritten them . . . soon!)

SO If I'm elected, what will I do? First and foremost, I will take ALL of the traditions the previous Fen Presidents have undertaken, whatever they are, and undertake them myself. So I'll be the undertaker for all previous policies! (What were they, anyway? Did they do anything?)

ALSO I'm an equal opportunity Fen. I welcome ALL RACES and ALL CLASSES to be ruled by me under the Fen Presidency. I am a BENEVOLENT dictator, er, President. Just ask anybody In Rising Claw! Ignore the cowering and flinching.

Vote for ODESSEUS! I know what I'm doing! Really!*

* The part about knowing what I'm doing is just a slogan. Actual results may vary.

My name is Odesseus, and I approved this message.

-Odesseus

Creed sent the following report to TMN:

Hail Para!

The race for Fen President seems to be heating up.

Several anonymous sources have contacted me in the last few days with sketches of some of the candidates for Fen President. Of course, I cannot vouch for their authenticity.

It seems no candidate is safe from opposition research! According to my sources, these sketches purport to show:

Odesseus ... in infant meshra form?

Odesseus ... is a closet mystic?

Althea ... crashing a thoomline? Trying to curry favor, perhaps?

Phineas ... sleeping on the job? Possibly in a drunken stupor?

Kerrah ... stealing coins from fallen exiles?

Kerrah ... laughing at the horrible suffering of a victim of the dread disease of lockbeak?

Daimoth ... laughing over the bloody corpse of his victim, the beloved Chum?

I offer these sketches for the exiles of Puddleby to view and judge as they will.

Cheers,
-Creed

Now that the election is full swing, TMN is seeking election statements and images (inspiring, embarrassing, or otherwise) of the candidates: Daimoth, Kerrah, Odesseus, Phineas.

Exiles, be on the lookout for the messages the nominees are sending you! Ask them about their positions, and let them know how you feel.

It's time to introduce the candidates for the Fen presidency.

Daimoth
This painting by Largo says it all.

Kerrah
Kerrah is no stranger to Puddleby's political scene.

Odesseus
Odesseus' political philosophy centers around new solutions for old problems.

Phineas, a.k.a. Fen-eas
Phineas has overcome many setbacks on the campaign trail.

Polling is open now. Vote today! As the Zo say, "Vote early, vote often, and hurt those who disagree with you!"
