People of Trollsbane, I fear dark magic is in the air, this recent heat wave, has caused the desert to expand, it has grown by about a quater of it's original size, patches around the desert have been turning sandy, one very close to the town, the water holes near the desert have been drying up, I fear the plan of our enemy, is to kill all the plants and animals on the island, and dry up, all the drinking water, making it impossible to live, we must find a way to stop this at once.

Viola gasps at the news.

Twas in my dream, given to me by Oldra. There was sand blowing everywhere. I did not know what to think of it, but your news of an expanding desert brings the vision crashing back.

Viola swallows hard, a heavy cloak of dread encircles her.

Yes, I saw the desert too.....I do not like this at all.There has been a lot of strange things happening recently.

The heatwave, the desert, the animals vanishing, fires all over town....

People will panic.steal from others..it is a great trouble on our fair island.Some great evil is afoot.....

Townsfolk:
The temperature is increasing... the desert expands...and the waters dry up! I do not know what this foretells...but I know that one thing: Provisions must be made at once! All who can would be best put to obtain many buckets and fill them well with water and store them in a place where they will stay! For if things are to reach a new level, we may not survive unless we have provisions. Water we all need...so I urge all to see the need and store it well!
-Elaralith

It's coming like a dark shadow...
You won't see it, but it will come...
The desert will grow, and grow, and grow,
and if you wake up, desert is all over...
Just wait and see, you can not stop it!

We've had some particularly dry weather, water is drying up, SO?

Um, well, at least one will not have to walk as far to get sand...

Malinne shrugs.

This is bad news indeed...

Hi

I urge everyone to get water, food, and potions. Noneone except the gods know how long this will keep up, so be prepared!! Practice your fighting skills too and get good weapons and armor, we will need it!!

Deats

Deats,
why will we need to train fighting and get good armor?
It will be so hot sitting down will make you sweat, fighting or another physical activity will probbaly kill you.
Get water and food. And stay indoors.

Hi

There will be an invasion soon, this is only the first step!! Grant look at the overall picture!!

Deats

You shouldnt go around saying things like an invasion is going to happen, you dont really know. For all you know all the recent happenings are but bad wheather. I can understand telling people to prepare themselves for anything, but do not run around like a chicken with its head cut off predicting things you could not possibly know.

To me Freo these are signs that SOMETHING is going to happen... Lets look at the facts.

1. Animals have disappeared.
2. The town has been attacked several times.
3. The drought that is occuring.

This is a strategy used in war. First take there food supply out... Causing people to become weak from lack of fresh meat. Not to mention raw materials such as wool. Then after we have become even weaker they send monsters to test our strength maybe try to overcome us if they can. Well after failing at trying to kill us with there minions, They magically make the weather cause a drought. Which causes us to become EVEN weaker from lack of water, and vegitation. These is something brewing mark my words. Who or... What it is I dont know. But best prepare yourself now. We MUST solve this riddle before it is to late. Be safe everyone.

Signed,
Gannon

Also, without the creatures, we are at each other's throats! They don't even need an invasion, we'll probably kill ourselves anyway.

I think Elaralith stoll the monsters. I heard her talking to grant about some north-east part trap where they put them. they were wispering so i couldnt get them all so BLAME ELARALITH


may Elara bless you

Bingem, you had better have some proof of what you say.
If you come here accusing people of doing something they did not do you will feel the blunt side of my warhammer.

Cerd stares down at his warhammer

Well what do you know, both sides are blunt.

shrugs his shoulders

I guess you'll get it twice then.

I dont have proof but someone else does. Iam afraid if i tell you his name he will be in danger.

In the meantime dont trust Elaralith she will shove you into a closet.

You are the epitome of annoyance, Bingem.
Brace yerself, for I have a feeling you will be struck down soon...

Hi

This is nuts, we are now killing each other over dissappearing monsters. What is next?

Deats

Myself, John and Hagen have our suspicions as to what is happening...


Brendan remembers what a friend told him...



"A false Hero will rise..."

Hi

Get to the point!!

Deats

Uh, I think about five false heroes arose.

Elaralith sighs.

Bingem,
Don't mistake me...I don't hold all the insults and annoyances you have given me against you...I can understand. I just want you to know that anytime you wish to talk to me...I will be there for you.
May understanding dawn for thee,
~Elaralith, Priestess of Elara~

I myself have a theory about it...but I must gather more information.

Me thinks the monsters have tired in hearing us bicker and quarrel with each other,so they have decided to take their leave until we destroy ourselves, then they shall roam the land uninhibited.

I think Elaralith looked at them and they all died... errr, her beauty was too much for them.

ahh yea right she has the power of mudesa

Hm...sounds to me what could be going on is a Civile War? maby..I don't know yet since I am a non-imhabitent at the moment. The monsters sound like they are tired of seeing,smelling,hearing you...and they want the island to themselves...just a guess.

HAhA

Hi

One part of that is true, we are getting more bored every day therefore we fight!! This all goes back to some god not liking one of us.
