Bosley’s Bee Removal Service

Grindylow headed off towards Trinsic Swamps to have a good soak. According to the Master Bee Keeper, the swamp waters would ease the stings and burning of the multipule whelps she had covering her entire body. She surely hoped so, it was becoming unbearable and to add insult to injury, her skin was starting to peel off.
Gingerly making her way along Trinsic Road, she heard a humming in the distance. Stopping in
her tracks she took on a wild frenzied deer in the lantern look. The humming was the same she had
heard the day she had been attacked by those nasty bees and it was drawing nearer.
Frozen in her tracks in fright, not knowing which way to run, she didn’t notice the slight man who
had rushed past her setting up Bee Zapper’s as he hurried along. The next thing Grindy heard was
*Zap* Zap* Zing* Zap* Zap* as the bee’s flew into the Zappers. Just a short time later, several dozen bee’s lay in the road dead. Grindy finally took a giant breath of relief, just as she saw the slight man
hopping up and down in glee. “It worked by gummies, It worked!” he exclaimed.
Grindy hobbled over to the man, who introduced himself as Bosley, of Bosley’s Bee Removal Service.
” Mr Bosley, can you get rid of any bee’s” she asked?
“Well now lass, after seeing how these Bee Zapper’s work. I suppose I can” he replied in giggling
delight.
With that, Grindy motioned for Bosley to follow her as she told him about what has been happening
with the Master Bee keeper’s Queen, her being stung, and the Bee Keepers request for his Queen back in trade for a potion to relieve her state of redness.
“Miss Grindylow, it will be my pleasure to help” he said, after they had talked for a bit.
“Now you go have that swamp soak, and I’ll get sorted with your friends. With their help, we’ll
get that Queen back and your potion made!” he added.
Grindy went to hug Bosley, she was so relieved, but when the skin on her ear peeled off and he stepped back with a look of Yuck on his face..she instead gave him a sweet smile and a nod of her head.
“Yes Yes Grindy, help you surely need!” he said as he turned and headed back towards Britain…

Spotlight Item April ’14

Item Name: Bladderstick’s Pop-Up Book Of Deadly Practical Jokes

Event Title: The Treachery Of Jesters

Historical Information
By EM Gotan

The rumors had been swirling around Nujelm for sometime; The Sultan was expecting to come into a lot of money very soon, and it seemed there was something to the gossip, for posters advertising new hires were going up everywhere. Down by the docks in particular, requests for experienced sailors and weapon-smiths covered every pole and barrel. But Bladderstick the Apprentice Jester wasn’t interested in those, oh no, not after a lifetime of having seagulls attack the bells on his hat. It was the small card pinned up in the bank which had caught his eye instead;

“The Sultan requires that, like all Monarch’s of importance, he be entertained by a man of motley talents and amusing riddles and quips. Therefore he requests applicants for the position of Court Jester of Nujelm. A wide range of the jocular arts are essential, as is being able to lay down your life for your Sultan should he request it. Applicants are expected to make their own custard and provide their own rubber chicken.”

Bladderstick worked through the requirements again; Custard? Check! Chicken? Check… he lifted Bertie The Rubber Chicken towards one of the bank tellers and gave him a quick squeeze, and got in return an exasperated look; Yup, you’ve still got it Bladderstick old boy! But dying for the Sultan? That was unusual. Jesters weren’t usually expected to be skilled in the combat arts too. He desperately needed the job though, times were tough in Nujelm, and what ever the rumored source of wealth actually was, none of it appeared to be trickling down to the people at all, for now. And those old hands Chuckles and Heckles never seemed to take so much as a day off sick, no matter how many litres of cold desert were poured into their pants; so the chances of applying his talents elsewhere were slim. Given a choice then between starvation now, or prat falling for the Sultan with unknown risks ahead, it was obvious what needed to be done… And this meant practice! Yes, comedy could be a serious business indeed, and Ol’Bladderstick had better rope in a few people to practice his act upon, before letting the Sultan see it!

Quickly turning over the Sultan’s advert, so none of the competition would see it, Bladderstick wrote his own on the back;

2012 Sakura Rares Festival: Pre-Festival

[NEWS] 2011 Fall Rares Festival (Atlantic):

At some point, Hoodwink found out that Europa Trader would be attending a Europa event on August 20th. During this time, unbeknownst to the auction hosts, Hoodwink entered the auction house as Europa Trader. He had created a character with the same name, he wore similar clothing, and he rode a blue beetle. Hoodwink would later brag about secretly watching his “mark”, learning his speech patterns and mannerisms. Hoodwink (as Europa Trader) first approached Sundina, who was preoccupied with another player. He then turned his attention to Demonous , saying he wanted to “have a word” with him.

Hoodwink (as Europa Trader) explained that he would like to have the Crimson Dragon Scale suit back in order to take some screenshots. Demonous gave the suit to Hoodwink, who he believed to be Europa Trader. Hoodwink (as Europa Trader) then asked if he could have some more of his items back so he could take screenshots of them as well. Demonous soon became suspicious and attempted to retrieve the suit from Hoodwink, saying he needed to mark down in a book that it had been returned. Presumably, at that point, Hoodwink knew he had been caught. Hoodwink (as Europa Trader) stalled for a moment before running away with the suit, valued at 1.2 billion gold pieces.

This was a somber reminder to always make sure you use an alternate way of confirming someone is who they claim to be in game.
