Dragonlance Underground: Tavin's Nugget of Joy 4-30-99

The world of Krynn has seemed somehow quieter since the sudden disappearance of a certain Kender..... by the name of Tavin Springfingers. But somehow, he has returned.... Well, in a way. Although he is no longer on Krynn, Tavin can still communicate through the use of a magical device... To the Holder of this artifact comes the voice, nay, the very presence of the indomitable Kender.
Now, I dare you... will you pick up the legendary artifact?
Will you hold... Dragonlance Underground: Tavin's Nugget of Joy 4-30-99

Tavin's Nugget of Joy 4-30-99

By Tavin Springfingers

Today on Krynn:

Knights of the Rose:
Yesterday a garrison of Solomnic Knights ran into a scouting party of Hobgoblins. Hoping to avoid conflict with the superior party of Knights, the Hobgoblins used a tactic they learned from the humans. They got a large group of roses (being the predominant flower in the area) and bundled them together to present the Knights as a sort of peace offering. The Solomnics reaction to a known enemy race throwing a mass of badly mangled flowers (which represented their knighthood) was to say the least, less than appreciative. In fact, none of the Hobgoblins survived the ensuing attack. Throtl today released an information packet to the general public on the proper use of flowers in the human community. To be less offensive, the guide suggests replacing Roses with Pansies. This reporter believes that the outcome may not be exactly what the Throtl Government has expected.

Minotaur Olympics go Worldwide:
The world was shocked on Tuesday when the Blood Isles announced that the Annual Minotaur Olympics would go abroad. For the first time, other races are to be considered to join in the yearly event, which decides the right to rule the Minotaur Isles. The Chancellor for the Monotaurian Nations replied to qualification requirements as follows. "We want many puny wimpy races to join so that we may crush them like insects! All can come if want except little kender people, 'cause we want to kill, not to be poor!" Many contestants have joined and have been accepted, but nearly ninety five percent have been turned away (due to the fact that they were Kender.)

Pitch Takes Vacation!:
The evil Black Dragon of the Northern reaches known as Pitch is currently on hiatus. The first sign was the gigantic sign outside the entrance of his lair that read: "Please direct all mail next door."

Magic for a New Era:
The Academy of Sorcery has been plagued by naysayers since it's foundations. This has in part been due to the publics rather low view and general distrust in magic. The Academy has therefore taken steps to prevent this negative reaction. Their weapon? Political Correctness. The Academy of Sorcery is no longer. It is now the Academic College of the Arts of Higher Learning. They also no longer cast magic. Instead they bend viable accuracies. The political war is far from over however.

Well, that wraps up today's Nugget of Joy! Until next time traveler.....
