Day 195, Year 545 of the Ascendancy

Spriggins invaded town today, when the Spriggin King Blink came to
town. The trickster Blink managed to convince the human Fishylish that
he wanted to visit town so he could make peace with Puddleby, and
Fishylish happily led the Spriggin monarch into town, along with a
small Spriggin army. Of course everyone was shocked when a horde of
Spriggins suddenly appeared in town center, but people were generally
careful as not to trample the little people in their midst, and things
went peacefully enough.

However, Spriggins are known for their mischievous
minds and slippery fingers, and Blink’s enoturage was no different. No
sooner had they stepped into town did the Spriggins begin tripping
citizens with their magic, and robbing them of their money.
Understandably this angered quite a few people, and the fighter
Ba’alzamon took it as fas as to slay the Spriggin King himself.

This of course resulted in a full-scale war
between Puddleby and the Spriggins, who poured forth from the Spirit
Wood in record numbers. For a time there were more Spriggins in
Puddleby than Puddlebians, and the East Field was painted blue with the
tide of Spriggins. However, it soon became apparent that the little
people were no match for the forces of Puddleby, and army of Spriggins
was pushed back into the Spirit Wood.

Thus, Puddleby was able to defeat the Spriggin
King and his Spriggin army. I have a feeling, though, that this is not
the last we will see of the trickster Blink. ( iolaus has also written
an accout of the invasion on his scrolls ).
