Chance sent the following report to TMN:
Dear Para,
I would like to report on a fascinating encounter I had with an Ona Chigger in the Northwest Forest. Yes, you read that right! I was coining away in NWF when I suddenly noticed that a nearby Ona Chigger was watching me. I can't quite explain how I knew what it was saying, as it certainly did not speak Common or any of the other languages that I speak. We seemed to be psychically linked.
Anyway, below I present an edited transcript of our conversation (edited to take out my intermediate whacking of non-Ona critters) and a few sketches to prove this amazing encounter really did happen. I have promised the Ona-Tor Alliance that I will no longer slay either Onas or Tor from now on, as long as they also remain peaceful, and I urge others to make the same promise.
Cheers,
Chance

Hail Para!
I wanted to send along a few sketches that you and your readers might enjoy. These are just some of the random events that make life in Puddleby fun 'n' interesting, like:
1) A Mystic-Healer Hunt. I joined At'n, Fishwinkle, Lily Fren and Trymon in a short ramble around the lands, starting in Kitty Beach and moving south through South Forest. As you can see, we were whaling on a Giant Vermine when we heard that Airlea was fallen under Puddleby. So we went on a daring rescue, and to everyone's amazement, including our own, we actually managed to find AND rescue her.
2) Super Chicken's Visit. Everyone's favorite Mini Chicken made one of his rare visits to town and of course, began a chicken footline. Although it was not the very longest footline ever, it was quite impressive.
3) An Epic Fall. The footline was disrupted by the arrival of a very, VERY dead Elenis Reyav. Every healer in the lands, plus a few more (heh), had to come out of their hidey holes to get Elenis back on his feet—but, as you can see—he still had a snarky comment to share!
4) An Epic Pwn. Chopper bugged Daimoth until everyone's favorite veteran Fen couldn't take it any longer. Before this sketch was taken—I believe—Daimoth had already slain Chopper several times. I'm not too sure of the sequence of events. There was so much Chopper-blood all over everything, it was hard to see clearly.
Well, that is all for today. Be well!
