“Well that looks a little odd.” Tilting her head to the side, Cecilie stared at the mix of sand, scales and tail less than 20 feet away. Of course coming from the Bright Blue haired woman, odd was saying a lot. In truth what she was staring at was a Sea Serpent. Only, it wasn’t in the sea, it was slithering across the Magincia Sand. “No wonder they needed a specialist.”

The appointment had been set for Britain. The serpents weren’t in Britain, but literature was. Britannians were very big on learning and talking about something without ever having to actually *do* something  about it. This made it perfect for those who were willing to do something, to come there to discuss it.

With her dark hair and curious eyes, Bonnie greeted Cecilie. Extending her hand with a simultaneous head bob, the two exchanged introductions.

“Times have been hard you know.”  Cecilie listened, pulling out her quill and parchment as the biologist continued. “What is the one place food is readily available?” She paused then glancing at Cecilie. “The Sea!”

Scribbling furiously Cecilie tried to catch the words as they came out with a mix of haste and enthusiasm. If, one could be enthusiastic about a dire situation.

“We keep fishing and fishing and fishing.” She didn’t butt in, but the fact that Magincian’s had been regularly trolling the surrounding waters dredging up creatures for months now was at the forefront of her mind.

“Now with the Kraken being hunted.”

“The Kraken eat Serpents. So we have an abundance of them. And the balance is out of whack. They have no fish to eat, and no one to eat *them* so there’s only one other place for the over population of Serpents to find food. Land.”

That information was still sinking in the studious woman announced that she was headed back to Magincia to study further.

The Britain Riot Leaders Meet
EM Sangria

“Hot damn, we actually did it!” One of the raider leaders exclaimed in shocked voice.

Another raider leader lamented, “We could have looted so much more, but we had to bail before the bridge was blown.”

The first raider leader nodded, “Those barrels we stole from Ver Lor Reg worked out great. The gargoyles will have to clear their landslides the old fashioned way – picks and shovels. They won’t be happy about that.”

“Why wasn’t Castle Brit looted and torched?” a third raider leader asked.

“Unfortunately for us the castle guards were able to secure the gates before we got there. But we were able to loot and torch Castle Blackthorn,” the first raider gestured to the loot stacked on the floor.

The raiders present were the leaders of the largest bands throughout the lands. Each of them had brought the majority of their fighting forces to Brit. The riot in Brit hopefully brought home their point to the nobles that things had to change. But until things changed, the loot would be used to finance further raids.

Once the division of loot was done, the first raider told the others of an opportunity, “Some of you may want to sell some of your items before you leave town. I know the perfect place,” he grinned.

Gunpowder Plot Ends in Chaos

 “While the truncheon may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of tru-.”
– An Anarchist …before being decapitated.

Tonight – on the 5th of April – anarchists and demoniacs dissolutioned with the Britannian Government stormed the Capitol and managed to penetrate the defenses of the Queen’s Castle before being routed.

Yet it all seems to have been one elaborate distraction. For even as Mercenaries and Britannian Soldiers clashed with rioters, a series of blasts ripped through the polis, uprooting the streets, immolating the innocent, topping the rioters and sending the armed combatants to their knees. It seems that more than a week ago, Kegs of Gunpowder destined for the pass of Central Ilshenar were stolen from Ver Lor Reg and smuggled into Britannia. The bridge to Castle Blackthorne was destroyed in the conflagration. The High Council was no where to be found.

The rioters were well armed and organized this time. Corpses litter the streets. Frightened merchants and aristocrats have begun to flee Britain for quieter and much less vulnerable estates. The poor, as usual, are left to fend for themselves until their feudal masters return to establish order.

Remember, Remember, the 5th of April. The gunpowder and treason plot. I know of no reason, the gunpowder treason, should ever be forgot.
