Pitmuck, Trammel, Chesapeake (PaxLair Times) – November 19, 2010 – by Ashlynn – This evening the realm was treated to an anarchic celebration by the little green folk of the island of Pitmuck. What they were celebrating, I am still not entirely sure, possibly a “berfday” of some sort, but who knows!
Events began at 7:30pm shortly after I arrived clad in my best protective vestements. Visitors gathered in the mouth of the ice cream cave (or perhaps the mouth of hell) before being taken deeper inside to be treated to the ice cream Pitmuck’s residents are most famous for. Though I must add, I didn’t try any myself as it would have involved removing my herb-filled mask.
This is apparently where the ice cream is made. Note that I saw no cattle on the island.
A double-elimination format darts tournament followed with a stuffed mongbat making a fine target. The game was quite difficult though, with the narrow lenses of my mask not helping matters any (I performed abysmally in other words). Who won in the end and what their prize was, I don’t quite remember (I’ll be sure to update when I find out) but everyone made a great effort with the chaotic atmosphere ensuring a good time was had by all!
Not your average tournament!
Following the tournement, the little imps gave everyone a tour of their little island, though we were rudely interrupted by the things that were said to be lurking in the woods. Things that turned out to be ancient wyrms and blood elementals amongst others! But they were soon dispatched by the guests, a few injuries aside, and the remainder of the tour proceeded without incident.
As the last formal event concluded, the guests slowly began to make their way back to their homes, but I must admit that the goblimps hosted a fine event and even I managed to have a little fun. So we all give our thanks for them for tonights fun (and slightly strange) celebration!
