The Last of the Mantuans?

luring.png

Kerrah sent the following report to TMN:

Hello Para,

As many are aware, a few zodiacs ago a large mysterious, mammoth-looking creature was found deep within Metzetli Island. After much effort, the beast was destroyed, and many exiles believed this "Mantuan" to be the only one in existence.

But a few days ago, another Mantuan was found on the island. After seeing how difficult it had been for the last Mantuan to be vanquished, we opted to lure this new one to the relative safety of the cove snell.

After preparing ourselves for the excitement of the hunt, we rushed onto the shore, handily felling the mammoth on our first shot.

easy.png

Gorvin gleefully chained the Mantuan, with the hopes of putting it to work in the Coliseum for some very interesting bouts. Unfortunately, the Coliseum could not contain such a creature, so off we went to Philip Peltkeeper, hoping that he would have finally learned how to stuff such a large creature. Sadly, Philip is still unable to perform his taxidermy on this oversized pachyderm.

unstuffable.png

Even though our hopes of having a trophy of this menacing giant were dashed, we still have the memories of a great hunt, and the satisfaction of keeping Metzetli relatively safe for other groups to hunt in the future.

triumphant.png

Please be careful in your travels to Metzetli. No one knows yet how many more Mantuans might be found on the island, and getting caught underfoot of one is a very painful, deadly experience indeed.

Ravenstorm's Daughters

2.png

Inu Teisei sent the following announcement to TMN:

News Flash! Ravenstorm has discovered his two long-lost daughters from thirty or so years ago: Pun'isher and Inu Teisei!

The first one is the one-and-only Pun'isher, who, like her mother favors frilly expensive stuff, but also knows how to take care of her daddy (provide him with a keg). This is what got him into this situation in the first place. He was in a haze for about a week in with Pun'isher's mom after ingesting beer that was made with must have been psychedelic barley or hops. She has yet to be exiled. He soon came to his senses, where he met Inu Teisei's mom. They had a month of love then Ravenstorm had to leave Inu's mother in order to defend the kingdom.

Unfortunately, Inu's mother died in childbirth, so he was never able to reunite with his true love. He also was unaware that he had sired such a lovely daughter as Inu Teisei—a free spirit—and, oh yeah, and the red-headed step-sister we now know as Pun'isher. Upon learning the news, Ravenstorm quickly went about reliving those nights long ago by partaking of some of Pun'isher's wicked brew, sans psychedelic barley and hops we hope.

Attached are the pictures to document the memorable evening in TC.

- Written by Inu Teisei. The one who would be Ravenstorm's favorite
illegitimate daughter if it weren't for her wannabe red-headed step-sister Pun'isher.

I invited my clanmate, Super Chicken, to visit the apartment that I share with my husband, Yharren. I admit I thought it was amusing at first when my chicken friend bounced jauntily on the bed. But then . . . the horror! He began to gnaw on a chair!

Will the gnawing never be stopped??

Mellion sent the following report to TMN:

Paramedic,

There was a big Darshak invasion last night. Apparently, they were coordinating their Undine and their elite Darshaks to raid Puddleby. Their motives are uncertain, but it did involve Captain Scabfoot.

The included sketch shows a situation where one hopes not to be: between two Greater Deaths.

In the end, we defeated them and drove them back to Ash, although it took hours. It appears they're really getting serious about attacking us. Let's hope they never succeed!

Pesky Darshak

Creed sent the following report to TMN:

Hail Para!

I have just a couple of sketches to share with your viewers.

As most exiles know, there have been many Darshak invasions recently, including one earlier today. I tried to help for a while, including doing some healing outside of Ash Island, where the exiles had taken the fight to the Darshak on both the southern and western beaches. Unfortunately, I fell on the south beach along with several fine fighters.

I would like to pay tribute to the bravery of Shadrock, who tried his best to reach us, and who help up marvelously against the Darshak swords for a very long time before being cut down at last by a particularly tough enemy.

brave_shadrock1.gif

brave_shadrock2.gif

On a much lighter note, a few days previously I was delighted to run into my old clanmate Rhone in town center. Rhone has been away on the mainland, and sadly, he had to appear in disguise as a citizen of Agratis. But he was our most yabalicious Rhone indeed. We had a nice chat, and he asked me to pass along greetings to many of his exiled friends, which I will do as I see them.

Clan Destine misses Rhone and other members who have been away. Maybe this can be taken as a sign that our clan may become more active again soon.

'lo Para,

As you can see in the enclosed sketch, a small group of restless explorers intended to visit Sarra, and stumbled upon Lady Sarra herself, in one form or another. I know many of us have been searching for this for quite awhile, so we thought it fitting to share with TMN.

Unfortunately, our pleasure was short-lived, as we had a rather unfortunate exit in a place quite far from where we expected our feet to land. Be wary visiting this grave, as you may shortly find yourself in your own.

Shards and Scabfoot

darkstone_shards.gif

Kani sent the following report to TMN:

Darkstone Shards

As many ThoomCare readers may be aware, there has been a restless unease stirring in the Darshak of late. Frequently have they have raided Puddleby, from the north as well as the west coast. These raids may largely be attributed to the discovery of two unusual crystal fragments.

These "darkstone shards," as they are called, were both recovered in what might be considered Darshak territory. The first was found in the depths of the Dark Chamber, near the blazing pentagram. The second was looted from a ship sunken in the waters of a subterranean cavern on Devil's Island. As shown in the illustration above, they are irregular and may be pieces of the same whole.

Valuable as the crystal pieces may be, they have held no good luck for those who bore them. Unusual ranks of Darshak chased Diana D'Fey across Ash's barren forests, and as Garr held the crystal, his mind twisted and led him towards the Pentagram in the Dark Temple. I myself have have experienced a dark haze descending over my thoughts as I held the second shard.

Captain Scabfoot and the Necromancer

One evening, I had contacted Diana D'Fey to compare observations and craft a plan for the future of the crystals. We met with a small group of friends in the Meadow, far from Darshak territory, and began to discuss what we'd experienced. Soon thereafter, Pluq Strindham cried for help from the Northern Beaches, where he'd been beset by a landing party of Darshak. A stready stream of sunstone messages from falling exiles in the Plains and surrounding area soon followed.

Captain Scabfoot, who had been well-established in Balengil's farm, disappeared as the band of Darshak swarmed inland. Back in the Meadow, worries of being caught in a pincer movement began to cross my mind, and our party broke company to find other havens. Diana and I both eventually found our way to town, while hearing from our far-flung friends that the Darshak masses were being held at bay.

1_sin.gif

Secure as we felt, we did not expect the arrival of an unusually cunning, persistent, and persuasive undine. We were quickly pursuaded to fall by the grasping of limbs of one Captain Scabfoot, coerced by foul magic to the guise of a corpse warrior. He dragged our limp corpses to the undine hut, where his master, a Necromancer, congratulated and curtly dismissed him.

2_belongings.gif

Friends rushed to our aid, but their efforts were stymied by the waves of greater Undine summoned by our captor. As he surrounded himself with the walking and floating dead, he demanded that we turn over what was rightfully his. He wouldn't say what exactly it was that he wanted, and of course I couldn't bring to mind what it was, so our friendly discussion didn't make much progress.

3_come.gif

Resourceful as exiles are, they quickly laid waste to the Necromancer's minions, and sent him fleeing to the dark cave and Alchemist's Folly with me pulled behind. Diana escaped to Purgatory just before this retreat, and so missed his later threats and cold words. Though we spoke many minutes more, he made no concessions save an offer of eternal life as an undine in trade. He had not yet managed to state what exactly it was that he wanted when he was slain by the flood of exiles pouring forth into Alchemist's Folly.

4_power.gif

Back in town, Captain Scabfoot was encountered again, returned to his usual swashbuckling form. He was suffering from amnesia, and almost immediately after his memory started to return he changed form into an undine and attacked the townsfolk. This happened in several cycles, before Caesar and others sat on his chest to prevent him getting up. They pinned him there for most of an hour, before Noivad dragged him to the jail, where his curse seemed to be lifted.

5_scabfoot.gif

Regards,
-Kani

An anonymous exile submitted this report:

An incident occurred recently in Puddleby. The rebel darshak, Captain Scabfoot, kidnapped an exile against his will. The exile was chained deep underground where a gruesome scene unfolded. The Puddlebean was burned and tortured while being interrogated by the Necro.

Heroically, the exiles risked life and limb to rescue their own. After the pile of fallens and undine corpses stretched to the sea, finally, the kidnapped exile was liberated. However, the traitorous darshak, Captain Scabfoot, soon stumbled out of the dark cavern . . .

As the furious exiles quickly assailed him, it was apparent that this Captain had been cursed. Captain Scabfoot continued to shift between life and death. Puddleby was unable to control the continued metamorphosis, and exile after exile fell to the cursed blade.

Eventually, the exiles and Puddleby's sheriff were able to contain this madness within a cell. Within the jailhouse, the mental enhancements of a mystic helped the beleaguered Captain Scabfoot stave off the shadow consuming him.

As Scabfoot came out of the hazy dream, the Captain began to remember the atrocities committed. With a strong feeling of remorse, Captain Scabfoot began to answer some of the exiles' questions . . .

A highly abridged version of what spoken in the jailhouse between the exiles and Capt'n Scabfoot follows:

Captain Scabfoot says, "I were tryin' ta protect tha grapes."
Captain Scabfoot says, "There were too many."
Captain Scabfoot says, "It ain't no beer. But Gatsby be a good lad."
Melben asks, "Do you remember where they cursed you?"
Captain Scabfoot says, "It be fuzzy"
Captain Scabfoot says, "I were fleein"
Captain Scabfoot says, "Darkness..."

Captain Scabfoot says, "I were pulled towards a dark force."
Captain Scabfoot says, "I were drawn ta sumthin', I dunno what..."
Melben asks, "What do you know about the crystals, Captain?"
Captain Scabfoot asks, "What crystals?"
Melben says, "Let's just say the darshak are not the only skilled thieves in the island chain."
Captain Scabfoot asks, "Aye?"
Melben says, "And that we have heard a crystal or shard might be desired by some..."
Captain Scabfoot asks, "Ye think that be what I were after?"
Melben says, "It is the rumor."
Melben asks, "What use would the Cult have for it?"
Captain Scabfoot says, "Whatever it be. It 'as a whale o' evil 'nergy"

Today Illora and some others mentioned a second gnawing pot in Junko's junk pile! So, I thought it worth investigating. There was a whole buncha grapes and stuff in there with it, yet after a few attempts at recovering stuff from Junko (and a few grapes later) Junko gave me the gnawing pot! And what a gnawing pot it is!

On a sidenote from my incredible chicken glory, J'nder was after a gnawing pot too, so I plan on donating it to her when I see her next, with some chicken teeth marks included.

I, Arianrhod, have headed off to Peaceton in search of curved ocean shells, the base material used in the sea horn, and will not be back for a while, but if you would like, you could sunstone me while I'm in the lands and make me an offer. Alasee and Legoloras have also come to Peaceton with me, so if I'm not in the lands you can always sunstone one of them with an offer!
