Creed sent the following report to TMN:
Greetings Para!
As often happens, I have a few random bits of news for you from the last, eventful few days in Puddleby.
I have one sketch of Chance to show you, although she probably won't be happy with me for sending it—since she's fallen in it! Oh well—I found it funny. As you can see, Chance fell while trying to solo a great rockodile, and was quickly surrounded by scavengers and rats. Old Man Grank came by, but was no help at all. He stood there for a while just staring, then began greeting some of the creatures as friends. Thanks for nothin', Grank!
The rest of the sketches have to do with me and with Clan Destine! On one recent hunt, while on our way back from TGBG, we encountered two blue butterflies. Every one of us was kissed, although Bakunan was kissed by one of the butterflies while the rest of us were kissed by the other. So he didn't quite match us! We did have a good time fluttering about. We went to Melabrion's island in winged guise, then traveled north along Puddleby's western coast, ending up at the river tunnel. It was fun to battle a Blind Amphibia in our butterfly forms! Alas, I did not get a sketch of our victory.
On another hunt, this time to GI, Rhone, Sian and I—joined by Theo and Fiona—saw an interesting phenomenon. It was a bathing boar! At first we thought perhaps it only ran into the water to escape our fighters' glittering blades, but it seemed to enjoy swimming about and splashing in the waterfall.
Last, but not least . . . I was visiting with Klio one day in town, and the two of us decided to go to the raffle house together to check on our raffle items. As we approached Auxa, we noticed she was in an odd and less-than-welcoming position. She seems back to normal now, so I don't know what was wrong with Auxa that evening!
Reporting somewhat live from various sites around Puddleby and assorted islands,
