Winter 2000/2001
Welcome to another small page of my raning, never enough space!
Lets start with the Well Spring's plumbing, it wasn't working properly, but I didn't know it was contagious.
During the Gathering the entire city of En'esh seemed to be also having problems with their water supply, plumbing and a strange odour coming from their facilities. No wonder the locals smell so bad!
Mage Jinks was found, skulking in front part of the Pyramid, eatin scarab beetles. Maybe I can talk him into sorting out my little problem with Aunty 'L' and space.
Did you see the suicide queue for the pyramid. What a sight, I thoguht only the Bears Faction had problems with sheep and at least leammings only jump off the cliff when the sun comes up.
I got a bit confused over who was in charge though, with so many different groups and cults running around, I flet like I was back in the Unicorns. Pharaoh did make a brief appearance on Friday, just in time to get assassinated.
All in all though it wasn't a bad holiday, I even got some real Aegytion sand as a sourvenir.
Someone must of upset the Nosta Ka big time. Not only did they evict the squatters from Avalon, but they also threw out a piece of the land as well. Where it lands, nobody knows!
I'll tell ya something, generally I like to keep my opinions to myself but sometimes, just sometimes, a point rops up that you have to have your say on, like slavery. Just how can anyone get the basic jobs that need doing around the castle without loads of Goblins, Imps and other useful servants.
three days of a year off and at festive times I let them eat the weaker ones as a treat and you can't say I don't care can you?
I almost forgot this one, next time I plan to go on holiday I am going to check they have a better tourist information service. Over half the locals in Aegypt were trying to sell you the other half and try getting information on trinkets met with blank looks. What do these chess pieces do, except make for a board game? Anyone know?
Weather has been pretty bad since the Gathering, most palces seem to have more rain and storms now than ever before. If the water in my moat keeps rising I will have to start filling sandbags with servants and start using imps as flood warnings. It's easy, just tie a couple of Imps to a long plan of wood one on top of the other and when one screams of drowning, you know the water level has risen.
That leads me to the last subject and the worst.
Towards the end of the Gathering someone had to ignore my warnings about rituals and go and blow one up. So what happened you ask? They piled so many contributors into the cirlce that there was standing room only and then when it all went terribly wrong, they throw the tome of Fire in it to stop it killing them all. Oh! and what a clever idea that wasm wasn't it!
Now not only do we have void magic leaking all over the place, but also a great imbalance in the basic elements of the world. So what's your plan now then?
Why don't we pile all of the known magic items together and make a piece of artwork out of them, you know the sort of contemporary thing that leads to a holocaust.. While your at it, lets balance the scales of the world by destroyiung the items dead opposite the elements. Then we can all move to the Underdark.
I can't believe how little space we writers get, I mean it's not like I have much to say is it!
