Insidious Rumours
Mabh planned to use Kit as Dryad Bait
Starflower thinks that vampires are a decent sort of chaps - mind control or life changing experience - go figure.
Following an unlikely fusion of elements where he used powerful earth magics to heal a water power of the damage inflicted by ice demons, Braegon has renounced his earth bound ways to become a Fire Mage!
He says "Fire has often been the poor cousin of the elemental branch, this recent event where fire was specifically excluded is a case in point. It's time for me to help the Fire college bleyze its way into the pages of history!" When asked his opinion about this sudden change, a notable Sage categorically stated "It's impossible! Earth magics could never be used to heal water in that way, they're diametrically opposed!".

Recent Adventures / News in Brief
Flugelheim Thaws
Rumours of incursion by a Demonic Ice Plane into Flugelheim are no longer true.
The ice has melted just in time for Winter, the demons are fired, and the locals are restored to their homes.
The allegations of senior guild members involvement in this matter are undoubtedly true.
Goran Gone
That troublesome Binder on the plane of Kahessire, Lord Goran, has been returned to his place of origin. The Cthonic Spirit has been reunited with the stelae that it was released from some 12,000 years ago. Hopefully it will return to performing it's protective duties for its nexus of ley lines - there certainly was a spectacular light show as the stelae repaired itself and sunk back into the ground. The local Empire showed their appreciation for the nearby rift to Hell being closed, and the party employer in the Se of Wizards was also well pleased. However some of Goran's minions continue to produce large numbers of weapons on two continents.

A Mouses Tale (by Erasmus, a passing church mouse)
I was pausing to munch on a nice bit of cheddar left in a doorjamb when I noticed a commotion outside the residence I was passing so I took my cheddar to the front mouse hole, watched and this is what I saw!
Apparently a few adventurers were visiting a warlock late at night in order to procure some Skin Changes. They turned up and were talking with the warlock when his cat-familiar Mikha, after a bit of sniffing around uttered these fateful words to a shadowy Elf who seemed to drip power and danger. "Come on little tease, you know you want to!";
Amazingly the Elf woman seemed to understand what the cat was saying and took up his offer thereby changing into a sleek, lithe and lustrous black cat.
Once the cat-Elf was in this form Mikha started coming up, behaving like a normal cat would and getting to know this new black cat. They started sniffing and prowling around each other. This seemed harmless enough and cat-Elf mewled to the cat Mikha that he shouldn't get too close as she might hurt him.
Now being the dangerous woman that she appeared this would have been enough to put off the wisest of animals but Mikha was a special cat, being a warlocks familiar. It deterred Mikha not a moment and after a bit more sniffing enquired if she had ever bred with another cat before. She answered in the negative and this seemed to peak his already raised fur.
"Well how about it then".
"I'll hurt you if you touch me" she replied in a slightly quivering voice
"Yes I know so how about it?" he replied in a more insistent purr
At this point the rest of the big people who were mid-transaction stopped and watched the unfolding events in front of them with some interest. If she hadn't been a black cat they wouldn't have noticed the slight whitening of the cat-Elf's fur and her voice when it replied had a slightly worried quiver to it.
cat-Elf: "No I Don't want to hurt you"
The sounds of a cogitating cat emanated from Mikha while he took his time in replying. The scent of musk was heavy in the air, even from my distant mouse hole!! Mikha: "Yes, I know so lets do this"
Now apparently the cat-Elf got scared at this and caused her fur to grow sharp black armour spikes (designed to deter close combat no doubt). I'm constantly amazed at the weird feline mating rituals I sometimes see in strange places!
"Ummm, interesting" was the next challenging reply from Mikha, "So you ready now?" Mikha asked after a brief pause spent sniffing around the cat-Elf, her spikes and eyeing her fine form with some ‘anticipation’!
At this time the cat-Elf showed something no-one ever thought to see - her tail.
She turned and she fled for fear of her ... ...!! Then quickly changed back to her Elven form with a very white complexion and slightly shaky appearance to the astonished stares of the rest of them big people.
Well it was the first time I've seen a cat running off with her tail between her legs. *sqeek sqeek* Oh well back to the cheddar!
