Update from the Scribes and Lars Fangripper's First Report

It has been just over a week since the last update to this chronicle of the deeds and goings-on in Cothon-Gadeed and the nearby underworld of the Tel al Safina, and all the heroes and would-be-heroes who strive for glory within its depths.

Unfortunately, the scribes who compile the chronicle have been quite busy with other work recently: reports to be written for the Soufets, accountings to be done at the docks, seeing to the proper education of apprentice scribes, busywork, etc. etc.

This note is appended in hopes that interested parties do not fret too much!--as soon as they are able, the scribes will turn to accounts of the most recent three adventurous expeditions into the Tel (#32, #33, and #34/34.5), as well as producing a description of Captain-General Zaytar's procession to the Colossian Oracle, the outrageous suit by the Barcidae against the Survivors of the Tel, a new development concerning the Guild of Lamplighters, and other interesting news current in Cothon-Gadeed.

The scribes implore: please only be patient, dear readers!

In the meantime, here, at least, is newcomer Lars Fangripper's account of the monsters encountered during an expedition into the Necropolis some weeks ago (drawn and written by Joel, earning Fangripper 100 xp per level):


Fang-Ripper monster report #1


I am Lars Fang-Ripper and I am on a pilgrimage to collect and record monsters I encounter. 


Sekekers

Possum-like creatures that have poison quills on their backs. They live, hunt and kill in a

large colony. I do not know how powerful or the effects of their poison. 




Kurgha

A strange looking creature the size of a large dog, it has six legs, three eyes, a long rat tail, a break at the end of its snout and a long flicking tongue. It has oily skin that carried a horrible smell. Nothing about this beast seem particularly useful. However, I think you could get a moderate amount of coin for the head as trophy mounted on a wall.
