Lundar's Library

Day 49, Year 547 of the Ascendancy

There hasn’t been much going on lately, and the last few weeks have
been pretty peaceful. I’ve visited Melabrion’s Keep and the Ethereal
Tower a few more times, and even got to be a part of a small Foothills
expedition(which unfortunately couldn’t open the path to Camp Dread),
but other than that things have been uneventful.

Today, however, I stepped out of the library to
find myself in the midst of an invasion, a Chigger Invasion. Everywhere
I looked in town there were fallen exiles and the small but deadly
spiders.

The invasion was composed of two types of
Chiggers– golden colored Ona Scouts, and the more usual reddish-hued
Ona Chiggers. The Ona Scouts were quite viscious, felling me in only a
few blows, and even the mundane Ona Chiggers seemed deadlier than usual.

The spiders could be found all over town, but they
mostly seemed to be centered around the Mushroom Hut near Town Center.
Whether the Chiggers came from within the mushroom hut, or whether they
were seeking something within, is uncertain.

After a period of intense fighting, the last of
the Chiggers was vanquished. Luckily, the giant, Chigger-like Juliosaur
did not show up during the invasion. It is unknown what these spiders
hoped to accomplish during the invasion, but this was far from the
first time they’ve tried to invade Puddleby, and probably far from the
last.
