Add to<br \/>\nthis today, another piece&#8230;<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/puzzle.gif\" alt=\"Puzzle!\" width=\"344\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>I was not present to witness many of the events<br \/>\nthat transpired today, but I must record them down here, for all to<br \/>\nsee, for the implications of these events could well be<br \/>\nworld-shattering. It all started when the army of several Sar&#8217;noths and<br \/>\nquasi-intelligent Palidews trapped a poweful group of exiles on<br \/>\nDal&#8217;Noth Isle. Almost as if on cue, a band of T&#8217;rool and T&#8217;rool Kin<br \/>\ninvaded Puddleby. Thus the battle was begun. The exiles caught on<br \/>\nDal&#8217;Noth fought desparately for their lives, while those on Puddleby<br \/>\nstruggled to keep the T&#8217;rools at bay.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>After long fighting, the exiles on Puddleby pushed<br \/>\nthe T&#8217;rools back, and began to erradicate the T&#8217;rool forces scattered<br \/>\nthroughout the South Forest, while the Dal&#8217;Noth party managed to<br \/>\nmaneuver themselves off of Dal&#8217;Noth Isle, and rushed to the aid of the<br \/>\nexiles in South Forest. The exiles slowly but surely pushed the T&#8217;rool<br \/>\nforces back, until they had reached the very T&#8217;rool Town itself. This<br \/>\nis where the apprentice mystic Phiros stumbled onto an important<br \/>\ndiscovery.<\/font><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><font><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puddleby.com\/lundar-files\/img\/sarconference.gif\" alt=\"Dark Conference\" width=\"365\"><\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Phiros had slipped into one of the T&#8217;rool huts<br \/>\nseeking solace, but had instead found a secret conference between a<br \/>\nSar&#8217;Noth and a Vol&#8217;Kin. With the untimely intruder, the conference<br \/>\nquickly come to a close, but Phiros managed to hear the Sar&#8217;noth say:<br \/>\n&#8220;Deal! We will open the caves for you&#8230; we warned though you&#8217;d better<br \/>\nnot cross Qual!&#8221; The nature of the caves that the Sar&#8217;Noth spoke of are<br \/>\nunknown, but perhaps they a system of caverns hidden on Dal&#8217;Noth Isle,<br \/>\nor maybe even in the deep mines of the T&#8217;rools&#8230;<\/font><\/p>\n<p>\n<font>Another interesting thing about this invasion, was<br \/>\nthat a Darshak invasion force quickly followed the T&#8217;rools, as if the<br \/>\nDarshak knew that the town would be vaccant.

Even the greymyr decided to<br \/>\npay us a visit, and ten or so greymyr made a pilgrimage from the<br \/>\nNorthern Passes to Puddleby. There is definately something brewing in<br \/>\nthe lands. Are the foes of Puddleby suddenly uniting to fight against<br \/>\nus?
