Ootog sent the following report to TMN:
"Hi Para,
"I know you've been fielding a lot of Clan Destine reports lately, but I hope you have room for one more. [Editor's Note: What can I say? Clan Destine has been putting other clans to shame lately, not only with their deeds but also with their reports. -Para]
"The other night, Puddleby was treated to the performance of a lifetime. Having travelled the world over, just back from overseas, and having met much scepticism along the way, the remarkable Rhone the Mysterious performed his craft in town square. If you were lucky enough to be in the audience that night, you know of the incredible feats Rhone performed.
"Among them, Rhone made Ootog's shirt disappear (much to the delight of female Sylvans nearby), made his own hands disappear and even offered to grow kudzu whilst the world watched in wonder. Perhaps most notably, he turned this mild-mannered (and incredibly sexy) Zo into a halfling. When he announced what he was about to do, there were calls of Bogus! and Charlatan! from the audience. Those that were not convinced and expected failure, were shortly proven wrong. At the very moment he donned his grey cloak, Ootog flickered before everyone's eyes. in that moment some saw what was said to come, but the cloak teasingly hid the most amazing trick ever performed! After pleas to remove his cloak, Ootog obliged and lo' before everyone's very eyes sat Ootog the Halfling. He even squeeked.
"Many were treated to quite a show this night as Rhone obliged all with a trick or a favor here and there. We saw Madcat's exorbitant fro grow larger, only to see it grow smaller as he was transformed into a housecat. Xaerus, ever the inadequate pencilneck, pleaded with Rhone to make him muscular, which Rhone obliged by making him into an Orga Berserk. (What did Xaerus do with this newfound strength? He sat in a corner making his rippling gluteus maximus muscles dance for him, saying 'two dancing ladies, right behind ya!') and Kazik sulked around like a brooding dorf.
"'Twas a fun night for one and all. Alas, poor Rhone was completely taxed by the end of it, and as any great mage would, he needed to rest his spirit if not his body too."
