A dire threat in the woods

[Darkhand]

There had been reports of strange creatures in the woods. Perhaps the size of three apples stacked on top of each other, and in the shape of little men and women...and made out of mashed potatoes? Those who had been around during the Hallows Eve festivities would recognize them for what they were: the creatures created for a night of fun and games...but these were different. Smarter, faster, and unaffected by those cute little magic wands like their brothers and sisters, these also seemed out for blood. They had blow darts tipped with some kind of noxious agent that caused one to itch persistantly at the wound. What would come of this strange tribe of potato people in the jungles of Nasmara?

o.o hm...

[delrick]

You want this RP'd, of course, yes?

[Hannah Green]

Of course. =)

[hakuloa]

there's already been sightings.. and haku was handed something from Delrick >.>

Among the complaints from shopkeepers and homeowners that their imported potato stores seem to be disappearing, odd rumors about lewd squelching noises in the night are circulating.

Also recently; more and more chickens have been showing up in town, almost driven out of the jungle by something lurking within.

Who will be the first to begin connecting these happenings?

[delrick]

At Haku's urging, Delrick is working on a trap, attempting to catch one of the mashed potato people.

[Illiandi Bondsmiller]

Recently, one of the mashed potato men, heavily damaged, was captured by the Trade Minister, along with more samples of the blow darts being used as weapons.

Witnesses to the encounter report that the creatures are now in possession of some sort of magic, which the majordomo Tathar Maksa is unable to immediately identify. It currently manifests as a glow at night, and seems to add staying power to the irritant coating the blow darts.

The half-formed but still 'mobile' specimen is currently held in safety at the Trade Minister's home for further study.

Just yesterday the Mashed Potato Chieftain was captured and placed in a jar with his injured potato man tribesman! Unfortunately, in a fit of rage the jar was thrown into the fireplace of Trade Minister Loa's Office!

Later than night, a slightly crispy, glass covered creature, now nearly six apples tall, crept out the window and into the night, lewd squelching sounds of his movement changed into a faint tinkling and crackling. He had much to report.

[Narsuun]

Ikarus has recaptured the chieftan! Though he suffered many battle wounds to bring home his prisoner. After seeing to his care, Narsuun examined the Mashed Potato Chieftan and has determined that Fairy Magic is involved somehow! A report has yet to be made with Vensyn or Lord Spellcarver, and Lord Narsuun was last seen running off to gather as many books from his tower on the subject of fairies as he can.

[vensyn]

Vensyn has found the Potato People Village. They were occupied with a ritual, and he was able to rescue a certain fairy knight from a glittering hut (And demolish the hut.. and stomp on a few others as he left) He has now returned to the village, with Ricardo, who apparently is in need of some care.

[Illiandi Bondsmiller]

Incensed by further accusations of laziness from the Manor, such as those the Loa/Bondsmiller house had suffered, the Captain of the guard organized a small militia party to wreak havoc upon the potato tribe, capturing a small percentage of their number and largely destroying their village. Of particular treasure, the pot that they had been forming more of themselves in was confiscated and is now under guard.
