SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN: MEKDAWA TURNS HORSE RUSTLER




In late-breaking news, Mekdawa, the Toadish ambassador to Valeia, has turned horse-rustler; mounting and absconding with an über-horse being used by a party of adventurers near the south side of Nymph Lake.

"We had all dismounted the horse, and had ventured northward toward the Altar of Serran," claimed the warrior, now Paladin, of the group. "When we returned, we saw the strange toad-creature in the process of getting on the horse, whipping up the reins, and charging northward along the shore of the lake. We chased him, yelling for him to halt, but to no avail."

As the party of adventurers had obtained the horse by default from a group of now-defunct rogues, no charges have been filed against the toadish ambassador. Inquiries, however, have been made as to Mekdawa's strange behavior. One of our reporters was able to journey to Toad Village and speak with Shinwiki, the shaman/hetman of the Toad cantonment.

"Mekdawa not mean bad," Shinwiki stated. "Mekdawa need horse to escape plenty fool adventurers keep forcing strange potions down throat. Taste baada-ookey! Mekdawa fed up to goggle-eyes with potions. Seem adventurers understand! Mekdawa run away when they try give potions! But no, adventurers still shoveum potions down Mekdawa. No want insult adventurers; Mekdawa make escape; give horse big slap, gallop northward into swamp."

Neither the horse nor the toad ambassador have been sighted since the incident. If anyone has any information as to the whereabouts of Mekdawa or the über-horse, please contact the offices of the Gael Serran Examiner, or leave word with Sir Elgar, Village of Valeia.

Many thanks to our own Xignal76 (Rick Volberding), whom many of you will recognize as having the premiere hint site for Wizards and Warriors, for this unique photo opportunity.
