The attacks on Puddleby seem to be growing farther
appart but increasing in numbers. Just today, we had a large battle
with the Darshak, who were invading out town for reasons unknown.
The Darshak Acolytes were
using magic to help them overcome us, and had brought in a new contender,
an evil fellow appropriately named "Evil". While the Acolytes were
busy setting fire to the citizens of the town, Evil made short work of
some people by doing the opposite of a healer..draining life instead of
adding to it.
Once we defeated the Acolytes
in town, and Evil had been called back to hell, we found out that the population
of Darshak in the ocean had grown to a great number, and the brave citizens
of puddleby responded.
The bodies piled quickly
outside the Island of Puddleby, most slain by Blades or constantly burned
by the fire of the Acolytes. Another thing was certain: the darshak
have developed a unique spell, only known recently in areas similar to
the orga camp. My guess would be is the Acolytes all got together
and cast a spell that allowed the pirates to swarm us before we knew what
was happening. With so many people down or going down, it became
harder and harder to see or kill anything...Soon, the entrance or exit
from the ocean was unable to entered, and we were forced to find another
way in.
Fortunately, some of Puddleby's
finest were already thinking. They devised a plan to go from the
magic teleporting mirrors of the south forest to Centaur Isle. The
south, of course, was swamped with cougars and such by the time we arrived.
We prevailed in the end and made it to Centaur Isle, picking up an ally
on the way. It seems Gaia had taken pity on us and decided to help
us out. Although she had nothing against the Darshak, and therefore
not help us kill them, she helped us heal up quickly and she raised the
dead in order for us to triumph over the villians.
In short, Puddleby prevailed
over the hordes of Darshak fighters and mages. I believe we will
be seeing more attacks of this nature in the future. Up to this point,
noone knows what was the purpose of this attack was, or why they thought
they could overcome the citizens of Puddleby.
The Darshak are going to
be the enemies of our future: smart, cunning, and forever mysterious to
us. We must prepare ourselves for the future attacks and never give
up...there is always a way.

I have seen the future of
Puddleby (Which will soon become the capital of a Great Empire) which you
have created.
I see, at the Final Battle
of Mobius's Palace, all the races united under one leader.....that leader
will be Ejax Parr of Neko no Kessha. I see Ejax about to be killed
by the Evil Emperor and his Sentinals. I see myself, Vaelin, charging
into them, saving Ejax and killing the Emperor. I see myself dying
by his side. The Sentinals under the Former Emperors control dissapear
and the evil "Darkness" which inhabited the Palace burn. The citizens/exiles
of Puddleby are victoreous and the Secret Order of The Emperor and the
Imperial City are destroyed. Soon, a New Empire in the city of Parr
(formerly Puddleby), begins. Ejax Parr is declared Emperor and an
age of peace and prosperity begins. After 58 years.......one persons
lust for vengeance leads the Empire to its destruction. It ends badly.....It
ends in fire. You can change this....you must.
The myrms have mutated!!! They've changed into a much more intelligent monster!
In the early days, fighters and healers were able to sneak their way into the queen's chamber and lay waste to all of the myrms. Now, it's a different story!
The mutant myrms have discovered the secret entrance that the Puddleby people used to gain entrance to the chamber. The myrms grew tired of our campaigns to the hive to destroy them. Now the intelligent myrms are on the offensive and waiting for us to enter so they can pounce!
The Queen herself is waiting to feed on the brave warriors and healers of Puddleby as they gain entrance to her lair. Many died on this fateful morning by having their innards ripped from their bodies by the Queen's mighty pincers.
We must all be ready to fight the Myrms to the death. The hope of all of Puddlbey rests on our shoulders...
This is Pugwash wishing everyone good luck in the long days ahead!
Death to the Myrms!!!
Yesterday the largest invasion
in the history of Puddleby took place. For several hours the streets of
Puddleby were swarming with Death Vermines. The inhabitants of Puddleby
were caught completely by surprise of this fierce attack and thus the streets
were completely littered with the corpses of those unfortunate souls. The
first few hours after the attack began several fighters tried to defend
the town - but in vain. The forces of the Death Vermines were simply to
overwhelming.
After the first unorganized
attacks by the valiant fighters of Puddleby failed, we started to realize
that this foe was far more powerfull than any we had ever encountered before.
The Healer Guild Hall was then quickly turned in to a headquarter for organizing
grouped attacks on the Vermin threat. By dispatching attack squads of 4
or 5 fighters we were able to slowly thin the ranks of the fierce creatures.
Many great warriors fell during these attacks so the floor of the Healer
Guild Hall were soon littered with the wounded. Fortunately the many healers
of Puddleby were able to patch up their wounds so they again could repel
the Vermine threat.
Many hours after the the
first Death Vermine charged on Puddleby we managed to finaly kill the last
one of those fierce creatures so we again safely could walk the streets
of Puddleby. After I had assured myself that no more Vermines lurked in
the alleys I went to talk to Master Wiktus since I needed to get my sword
sharpened. Big was my surprise when I saw that the good weapon smith was
held hostage by 3 or 4 Darshaks. I quiclky ran outside to get help, and
shortly after Master Wiktus was once again a free man.
I fear now that the Darshaks
may have had a part in the Death Vermine attack. Did they deliberately
lead these foul creature into Puddleby on purpose? Could this be a part
of a bigger plot by the Darshak Theocracy? I fear so that we may not have
seen the worst yet.

My name's Pugwash. I'm a fighter working for the defense of Puddleby
and the surrounding environment which isn't easy in what I've named "Bloody
Thursday: The Death Vermine Massacre". I hope that you are able to
post this in the Puddleby Post to perhaps record what may be the last hours
of Puddleby...
As are no doubt well aware, starting Thursday, Puddleby
was invaded by Death Vermine. This was no ordinary invasion.
I believe it was orchestrated by none other than Mobius himself!
What follows is my account of the Puddleby invasion with my theories on
Mobius' influence.
The Death Vermine began their unholy attack on Puddleby
late Wednesday and into Thursday morning. The hell spawn vermine
fortunately did not reach Puddleby with their first attempt. Myself
and many others were able to dispel them quite quickly in the East Field
on the doorstep of Puddleby. I have enclosed a sketch of this battle
to show the brave forces Puddleby has at their disposal.

For weeks scratching sounds have been heard just
inside the arachne cave. Now, it would appear that the arachne have re-opened
a blocked tunnel to the north.
A group led by Mystic Healer dared the new depths
of the Arachne cavern, risking their very lives. This is their report.
Inside these winding catacombs were many new and
interesting sights. After passing through many tunnels we came upon the
Arachnoid.

Wednesday night a mysterious
plague swept over the Lands around the 8 o'clock hour. This plague had
a devastating effect on the land and on it's players. Several Puddleby
residents died, including all fighter defense trainers. The plague caused
shortness of breath and dizziness in everyone else, leaving them in a weakened
state.
This plague, which has yet
to be identified, seems to be carried by the Winds themselves, and swept
all over The Lands extremely quickly. Some are even dubbing this plague
".v34". For the foreseeable future, all fighters and healers will experience
dizziness, fatigue, and loss of stamina. Eat plenty of meats and vegetables,
and drink lots of fluids.
No one knows when The Plague
will end. Many seem to have a built-in resistance that allow them to keep
on living, but unfortunately others have died. All are affected in one
way or another.
Some have cried out in anger
at the Gods. Others have wondered if the Gods were angry at us. The Gods
tell me this is "just an experiment." This sounds very Greek of them to
me...
However, no matter what
your take on this, The Gods have the final say, and we just have to make
due until The Plague passes. So I suggest that we all travel in groups
of 5 or more, take lots of healers, and don't try anything stupid. Together
we can make it through The Plague and live a long and productive life...
Walk in peace, and share with your Healers...
