In the heart of our peaceful bog village, I brushed off the ominous tales of the bog monster until it struck under the cover of night. Panic consumed me as the monstrous entity wreaked havoc, and I narrowly eluded its clutches. With the dawn, I surveyed the wreckage—the village, once full of life, now lay in ruins, my neighbors' lifeless bodies scattered in the monster's wake. Overwhelmed with guilt, fear, and sorrow, I cannot bear the weight of being the sole survivor. I pen this note with a heavy heart, haunted by the chilling reality that the bog monster claimed the lives of those I called friends. The marsh, once our sanctuary, now stands as a testament to the relentless terror lurking beneath its waters. I choose to join my neighbors in eternal rest, haunted by the shadows of that night.

The gnome proceeded swiftly past the trolls, secure in the knowledge that they had let the others proceed without issue.

This time, however, they were hungry.

Winter is coming... 
Silver Hand (36)
Ishtar looks at the horizon and wonders what will come next. The peoples outside the island are less welcoming to dancers than she was expecting.
Babylon (37)
The clan laments the support of new lords to the world.  Thier constant failures in simple instructions has seen winning battles turn to routs. And now one of those previously trusted allies has abandoned the cause.  The Clan will struggle on, in new but colder climes, alone it would seem.
Clan McTavish (38)
Peaceful factions should be strong to keep peace.

Sweet Dreams.

It's time for the equatorial factions to unite.

The builders looked up at the sign over the fortress. It said "Welcome to 41".
"Are you sure that's all they wanted? A massive set of numbers and nothing else? And they wanted to spend twenty big ones on the rebranding exercise?" asked a goblin in a hard hat.
"Yeah, 41's a prime number, this country's lucky number and they decided they wanted to get that number in at the start of all their settlement names, even the towns" answered an orc.
"But...just 41? Not even 41 Dinca, using the original name of the settlement? Are you sure they just didn't leave some names off the paperwork?"
"No, they must have done it for a reason. The Children of The Four Winds hardly ever make syntax errors or bureaucratic mistakes......or so I've heard."
The Children of the Four Winds (41)
From the diary of Gale Swifthands

The final preparations are underway for the lich-hunt. This will be our most formidable foe so far. Shakaa is confident that we will be victorious. I'm not so sure. Many rumors are going around about undwad contagion. We must eradicate this infestation just to be sure. If only we had some holy symbols but none of us are particularly religious to carry any of those around.

The rider is tired. Galloping through the forest. It is not noticeable in the background of the sheets. Green leaves, green leather. The mount's red fur sparkles with bright fire in the darkness. Orc on a camel.

The big freeze is a big con! 

There is absolutely no evidence for the anthropomorphic causation of global temperature collapse. Its simply a temporary reduction in solar flare activity I tell you.

Carry on, keep calm and don't look up!

We seem to be moving into a new phase of armies independent of mages and the age of the assassin...

Perhaps hiding in this dusty tower isn't such a good idea after all.

The mages are growing in their abilities.  Maybe I should teleport and have a look around.
Mantzikert (53)
Roads are extending, buildings are growing, silver is flowing...
LEt's hope all this will not freeze to soon!

Cynthia: "More study!!!  Month after month after month. When do we get a chance to let our hair down?"

Denise: "And we are expected to continue casting spells to improve the lands in our, 'spare' time."

Rapunzel: "Stop your whining. I let my hair down once and some 'MAN' thought it would be appropriate to use it to climb into my bedchamber! "

Nawabzada Time celebrates Monster Hunters' and Tailenders' long string of victories against CATO.  It isn't quite a David versus Goliath story, that one ends before Goliath begins to fight.  It is more of a Phoolan Devi story.  Hunter One and his twin dash in to a rich province and seize the silver.  The cavalry mobilizes, but by the time they arrive, Hunter One is somewhere else, seizing something else.  Like Phoolan Devi, Hunter One always knows just where to go.  Hunter One can even defend an indefensible position, by luring away green mages with an alarm call next door before the battle begins.  Very, very impressive.  And it makes a good story.  Nawabzada wonders "is Hunter One is the hero of this story, or the foil for the hero?  Is Hunter One Khalid ibn al-Walid, a hero protected by the gods and never to be defeated, or is Hunter One Phoolan Devi, using mobility to win a series of battles against superior odds, but eventually choosing to surrender on terms acceptable both to her and to her victims?

Claims Steel Tarriers celebrates Hunter One.  Claims Steel Tarriers studies his history books, looking for hints of what terms of surrender would be acceptable to Hunter One?  Perhaps if we offered Hunter One a seat in our parliament he would give up his depradations of our lands?  He has, like Phoolan Devi, already slain those who originally offended him.

Ed celebrates truel's end.  Demons departure decreases defense durability.  Ed worries how the end of the truel might affect his beautiful seaside villa, though.

Thiti celebrates the lives of seven score Celebrants who marched into Scrittel, and from Scrittel, out of this world.  Tough guardsmen.  Ouch.

Digs Shafts celebrates the sea.  Digs shaft celebrates an unexpected number of Monster Hunters passing through.

Ninmahal celebrates his new rank of Mayoress.  But he still needs to do some work to keep the men from claiming it.  They really don't get yet that half the titles are supposed to go to the women.

Observes Ice celebrates the continued absence of ice on Wretched Castaway's Island.  No sign of freezing this month, either.  Perhaps this whole winter thing is a myth?

Rumors

Watch out for jumping gate mages with accompanied army.
So... will it be "third time lucky" or "three strikes and you're out"? :-O
At long last - is it a sleeping giant that stirs?  Have they run wild for as long as they can, and now must face that there is no hope of success?
It is said that once peaceful neighbors are now slaughtering each other...
Is it linked with prophecies?
Two rumors two months ago.  Three rumors last month.  Dare we hope for four this month?
