👑 ROYAL WATCH 👑

Live from Prince Farallel's Royal Court, our EXCLUSIVE coverage of 'pitch the bridge' continues!

We just heard from a filthy young fellow, Jimmy Dirtwater @jimmydirtwater.bsky.social

The little awestruck fellow could barely speak - let alone be understood! Nice try, little mucker!

👑 ROYAL WATCH 👑

Prince Farallel (@princefarallel.bsky.social) granted audiences to two ambitious bridge-builders. 🌉

We just heard the Academy's young Acolyte Merv Astra @mervastra.bsky.social. He was well-received, although he was a big shaky and visibly sweating. 😅

Next up, a dirty muck farmer!

Prince Farallel (@princefarallel.bsky.social) was just spotted arriving in the village!

💃 WHAT AN ENTRANCE 💃

His pearl-white carriage is drawn by a fabulous beast with an absolutely STUNNING mane! 🎠

🧑‍🌾 VILLAGERS STUNNED 👩‍🌾

These backwater rabble are completely flabbergasted! 🤪

Last night, an anonymous informant sat down with Ax Moorman to expose the High Council of Wizards’ bungled bridge repairs.

Since then, calls for the resignation of @thebluewizard.bsky.social have echoed across the Realm!

BREAKING: Sources say the High Council is botching the repair of the village bridges with inconsistent messages and vague timelines! More details on our Fishdee News Hour with Ax Moorman!

With @silusa.bsky.social and her serpents driven into exile, life has nearly returned to normal - except for the washed-out bridges.

What will the disgraced Council and HoC @thebluewizard.bsky.social do to fix our critical infrastructure?

Tune in for our in-depth 👀 on the Last Light Moonday news.

Ax Moorman here. Reporting from outside the Sacred Hall.
We received a tip that tonight there has been an emergency High Council of Wizards meeting called. Council members have been arriving, from far and wide.

All have declined to comment but there have been murmuring and hushed conversations.

🚨News Flash!

The Pouch's Ax Moorman has investigated the rumors. It was NOT some holiday prank - the Blue Wizard and the former Head of Council (@thegreenwizard.bsky.social) have been imprisoned in The Prism.

🚨FINAL UPDATE:

As the evening draws to a close with a Druid victory firmly in hand, I’m reminded of something the legendary Althea Forthwind once told me as we ran for our lives from a herd of ice trolls in Tjórmskåle. “Axie,” she said (she called me Axie), “Axie,

🚨UPDATE: “As I hid inside a big ceramic pot I witnessed a young(?) woman with a strange gait approaching the village drawbridge. She pulled the lever, admitting into town several Druids and a massive army of grizzlies. Could this be our salvation? Updates as they happen.” -Ax

🚨UPDATE: A dramatic turn of events within the last hour.

The situation was dire, with the villagers corralled into a kind of mud pit, the kettles relentlessly pouring lukewarm tea water into the pit.

ATTENTION: To those few villagers who are still awake, we’re repeating the Blue Wizard’s counterspell all day from The Big Tree's soundspire.

Please ensure your slumbering loved ones hear it! Upon awakening do your best to hide for now — help is on the way!

#staysafe #kettleocalypse
I got it! I finally found a long forgotten counterspell for a hex-enchantment of an inanimate object that mimics and Enthrall curse!

Please, @thepouch.bsky.social can you help spread this! It is the only way!

It worked to finally awaken Merv!

We messed up.

Earlier today we reported that anyone who acquired a "BW Kettle" should immediately destroy it.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE KETTLE. REPEAT: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THE KETTLE.

Also do not flee or raise your voice, they don't like that.

#Correction #Accountability
"Got us one yesterday" said one user in an exclusive interview. "My husband asked it to make him a cuppa and the next thing I know he's on the floor snoring and drooling. You get what you pay for don't ya!"

Anyone who acquired one of these kettles is advised to immediately destroy it.

Thanks for your patience, everyone.

Let's start this master thread!

As 'Bjorn' and I have pre-arranged, I'm patientily waiting at the edge of Skank Forest at sunset. The view right now of The Big Tree is stunning.
