~Basilisks Invade Area, Halflings on Front Lines!~

~Halflings defend their homeland with shovels ‘n pots ‘n pans armor!~

The local bigguns o’ Siramenor ‘n Aegrothond rallied a large quantity of halflings, druids, elves, and even some dwarves to fend off the basilisks threatening to sink us all beneath the waves! Us halflings of Brandybrook rallied in our village, heading over to the coasts of Siramenor when given the order to. While it took a while to find a location for us wee folks to defend, we eventually found ourselves stationed at a druidic ballista. It was a rough fight, with many halflings being injured by acid spray or blungeoning attacks. The basilisks have gone away for now, but let us not forget the sacrifices we have made in order to make it so!

~Injured halflings & bigguns alike wait to receive medical treatment!~

List o’ Halfling Casualties:

Filibert's leg got broken,

Isalie and Gillsy got roughed up a bit,

Andon lost his right arm,

And Falco's back got burned by acid.

 

May Knox bless and provide healing to all of the injured!

 

~Gaming Night Huge Success, Interrupted by Moon Splitting Apart!~

~The Brandybrook Games!~

Such fun! Such Drama! Us halflings had a blast of a time indeed! Chests were hidden around Brandybrook, and we all scattered off to go gather the tools needed to best the others in battle! In the end, Kit-Kat Applefoot won, having defeated every single other halfling!

 

Sadly, all good things come to an end. As we were preparing for the Snowball Fight afterwards, the Moon sorta umm... welll...

uhh..

eeerrr...

Let’s just say that the Moon isn’t really doing the greatest right now. Some bits of it are where they shouldn’t be, like in Korvassa for example!

~Preparing for the Snowball Fight!~

~The two fortresses of snow face each other in silence~

~Taking shelter in the Greenholm burrow after the Moon blows up!~

 

~Demons Invade Korvassa, We’re All Gonna DIE!~

~Halflings inspecting the crater!~

We’re all screwed! Ruined! Gonna be dead soon! There’s no hope for us, for anything, or for anybody else! Some weird Demon things have come out of the meteors that hit Arcas, and they’re threatening us even after we’ve already taken a beating from the basilisks! We can only hope that the bigguns will hold them off for long enough so we may lick our wounds and prepare for the defense of Brandybrook!

~Running away from the Demons, seeing as we are ill-equipped and still beat up from the previous fight with basilisks!~

 

~Thain is CONFIRMED to be Pregnant!~

A bit of brighter news in troubling times, Isalie Gardner, wife of Taurin and Thain of Brandybrook, is pregnant with Taurin’s child! Let us hope that this new life will bring greatness to Brandybrook! May the wee folk live on!

 

That’s all for now folks!

~Filibert Applefoot,

local halfling know-it-all.

Kit can’t read, but...

 

Madyssey praises Filibert for not saying “in these trying times”

From deep within the Underground, Teric blinks, surprised. “...Teh feck is teh moon doen, blowen u’ loike da’...  An demons....? Oi ho’e dere be some chance o’ survoivel, even ef i’ do be jus’ flee’n...” The Revenant shudders, fearing for Brandybrook, and the whole of Arcas. A few minutes later, the entire business is forgotten about, as Teric is too busy exterminating some pesky rats to be concerned with such things as demons, or the moon blowing up.

Falco Goldworthy frowned reading over the magazine, displeased with the publication of his injuries.

Enrie is saddened by all these events, but she is annoyed at the fact that she isn’t on the list of halfling casualties. “I got a cracked collarbone and an acid burned back, but I wasn’t even mentioned. Oh well, there are bigger things to worry about.”

[Jade_Emen 203]

After hours of labor, Isalie takes the time to read her local newspaper! “Oh shite....” She murmurs as she reads about the coming of the end of the world. The Thain looks down at her nursing babes, a troubling look cast over her face. “Well, ah suppose yer goin’ ta grow up en ah differen’ worl’ den me an’ yer Da.” She smiles, the innocence of yer young giving her hope. “Dinnae worreh youngin’s, yer Da, oi, an’ yer sis’ll be der ta protec’ yeh, ‘owevah long yeh need et.” The now not pregnant halfling proceeds to enjoy a pint, sharing a well needed drink with her newborns. The drinks of course being them nursing and her sipping an alcoholic beverage.
