The bronzed lord looked at the rising walls with he - as a most honest individual - had to describe as a certain amount of satisfaction. Oh, there were other excellent towers built by the other nations on his beach, and some of them were even of that most exotic stone that seemed to hum with its own faint strain of power from bodaciously deep within the earth. But his walls rose higher, and could store more surfboards, than the others put together.. It was a good day, with a hot sun and an onshore breeze, and the swell was rising

We can't take out a mortgage because a drunken Dragon has ruined the bank in the neighboring hex again. All bankers id dead. It is necessary to forbid under dwarves to solder dragons!

Traders have observed that several advanced skills are lacking. The focus on quick profits from trade taxes and farming have limited our studies in much advanced skills and now we hear that others are already planning to build cloudships. Obviously our piles of herbs and lassos and bags are not comparable even to single cloudship. We shall advance advanced studies at double pace and could soon offer more advanced items to the market. Currently we have excess herbs, at low price.

The huge herds of cattle were slowly being driven through the jungles in search of somewhere they could be sold. The team of cooks just weren't turning the livestock into pies and sausage quickly enough, so it was time to try and make some silver. What would they do with the money? Perhaps rename a city Fray Bentos.

The sea turns black at night. On a calm, overcast evening, you can lose your sense of direction entirely, so that up and down, north and south, east and west, all feel the same. But the same thing can happen on a warm summer evening, when the bioluminescent plankton beneath and the stars above start to blend together. Before you know it, you can find yourself swimming off to the stars.

Squirrel income per capita held steady last month at at 20
silver per squirrel per month. We should be okay so long
as we don't take over government of any more towns.
World population groth continues to slowly rise. It seems
population growth is neither linear nor exponential, world
population growth is more nearly parabolic. World population
growth rate is roughly month * (200/month). That makes world
population roughly 100 times month squared. If this keeps
up, there should be more than 100 thousand of us by August,

So, if we were driven off by the Yeti last month, does that
mean the Yeti are likely to attack again this month? There
isn't really anywhere else they can go from here. Oh well,
there are only half as many of us for them to kill this
time. And we all are now veterans! If they attack us 5 more
times, the survivors of the 6th battle shall be experienced
warriors.
--Wuttlic, Andjodhelt
So, if everyone is saving more grain and livestock each
month, does that mean we are all saving more silver, too?
Why yes, it does. Last year everyone was saving about 23
silver; now we are saving about 34 silver, and saving per
capita is rapidly rising. It seems that all around the
world, we are all afraid that our local government unclaimed
silver food pantry will have bare shelves soon.

We mourn the loss of the Ivwick Architects, intercepted by a giant on their way to help the Quartermaster effort. They have been with us since the beginning, and have stuck with us through our random meandering. They will be sorely missed. Fortunately, their loss does not hinder the project. On a brighter note, development of an army is showing promise. We will soon be able to put an end to those blasted wurms. Researchers and loremasters (just Jeremy, with something he calls a "computer") have ascertained the size of the army we will need to guarantee victory. Nothing to report for the other two groups. The sailors are having some trouble getting their boat off of the landmass.

The Carnival of Shadows (61)
Following last month's disastrous breakdown in communications which led to ships being confined to port and many industries grinding to a halt, a Government Spokeself has stated that the 'minor inconvenience' was due to an unusual cold snap which wiped out thousands of delivery bees. Since the privatisation of the postal service, Swarmium have been responsible for the delivery of all official communications. The company have revolutionised the communications industry by using bees to carry messages instead of the more traditional pigeons. Head of the Postal Workers Union, Frank Stamp, has called for a return to traditional messaging methods, arguing that the stereotype of post carriers defecating on people's heads is grossly exaggerated. 'It's unfair to blame all postal workers for the actions of one postwoman', adding that, in his opinion, 'bees just aren't organised and so are being exploited as a cheap, non-unionised workforce'. Swarmium have so far refused to comment on the matter and when asked if they intended to compensate those injured or killed by the service failure, our reporter was told to 'buzz off'.

The Pied Piper was enjoying his vacation in the seaside city. The North Atlantean Ocean swept into the bays, creating some of the most perfect sets he had ever seen. Out in the bay, a sun tanned Youth danced on the waves upon a glimmering board of the finest creation. The huge barrels of Furswudost Beach were renowned and many had gathered to watch the best dance with the ocean. An indie beat came to his mind and suddenly he was humming a tune. this was the life, sun n surf. he dreaded getting back to his mundane life in the town. soon he would be free to travel again and train minstrels to travel the globe.

Groo was worried, teh Ice dragon had returned after 2 years. last time he lost 90% of his forces. now this time he was a bit better prepared. with any luck he would only lose 1 trade hex and tax. Groo was hoping he was lucky and that the Dragon would wander off. every held their breath. the Ice Dragon was enourmous and they all knew of its destructive powers. Apart from that, some other minor good news from the colonies. the ship was finally build things may be ok if they could just get past this dragon that had popped up on the middle of the colony...
