Tavin's Christmas Nugget of Joy 12-25-00

By Tavin Springfingers

Today on Krynn:

There's Just Snow Way- It seems in Nordmaar there is a terrible new monster lurking. This horrific creature has already claimed the lives of thirty odd people! Reports are confirmed... This monster is the work of the Notorious Galcas Glaive, Black Robe Mage specializing in Ice Magics and the forbidden art of Necromancy. This fiend's latest creation of terror is a ten foot tall snowman infused with the soul of a recently executed serial killer named Slasher Joe. Many children have fallen prey to this horrible thing for it's unassuming visage. Parents are cautioned to inform their kids to stay away from the beast which can be easily identified by it's "corncob pipe, button nose, and two eyes made out of coal." It gives a whole new meaning to the the line "Lookit Frosty go!"

Yet Another Reason Winter Should Last- A few days ago, some villagers found an inventive way to deal with the perpetual stench of a Gully Dwarf community that had recently moved in outside of town. The idea started when a few of the little stinkers saw a child from the villiage rolling in the snow and making a "Snow Angel" Soon after the Gully Dwarves, apparently believing the ritual to be some form of magic, began to attempt to copy the feat, rolling around over and over in the snow. Since they began taking these "Snow Baths" the village has noticed a drastic reduction in odor.

Worth a Million... For a Minute- One of the most astounding robberies occured today as a major financial stonghold in Solomnia opened it's vault to find that the famed Swordguard diamond collection had been replaced by intracately carved and magically enhanced pieces of ice. Many suspects were immediately rounded up including all thirty two kender in the vicinity, all of whom claimed to be the one responsible. Upon being questioned on the matter, one of the chief officers replied, "Yeah. They all said it was them. But then again, twelve also said they were Huma reborn, five claimed to have befriended a giant killer snowman in Nordmaar, and two claimed to have invented cheese." So far, no solid evidence has been found.

Only a Gnome....- In Farenburg, a small province near the base of the Khalkist mountains, a travelling gnome was arrested today. Villagers awoke to a terrible suprise as a large device (The size of a Gorgon) ran amok through the town, consuming whatever it came across and spitting it out in bits and pieces. Several houses and stores were severely damaged, a few beyond repair, but nobody was seriously hurt. The device's creator was imprisoned on a reckless endangerment charge backed by a count of disturbing the peace. The culprits pleas of "Iwasjusttryingtomakeaninterestingdevicethatwouldsuckupsnowandthenremovethewaterfromit" were summarily ignored.

Read a Book!- Last, but not least, the famed Library of Palanthus, in which the books of Astinus are kept was opened to the general public as a tour through the main hall. The asthetics and monks working at the library slaved for weeks to prepare for this tour, pulling double and sometimes triple shifts at a time. The main concern? How to keep wandering hands, fingers.... and especially topknots away from the priceless texts.

Well, that is all for now. We all hope you have a great Christmas, and be sure to come back soon for the latest news on the world of Krynn in Today on Krynn.
