Frankenchicken
Kalazar of SC reports: "+Turbine Geneva came on on general chat and wanted us to bring him some items to create a new fighting pet. He said he had been talking amongst Uglrim. (We should have known.) After giving him all the items, Frankenchicken spawned and killed probably all of us at least once. After it was dead there were 3 Falatacot trinkets, 1 green egg and 2 blue ones, along with a hat. I used my blue egg and got an egg launcher!" (click to enlarge)
The Bunnies of Dereth vs Chef Wubbie
Maggie! HIHIHIHIHI!
Its me again, Chef Wubbie of TD. I was just the center of attention in a Live Event. I've always been a little scared of the bunnies and rabbits in Dereth, there was more than once early on in my life where they killed me.
Imagine my surprise this morning when I was dual logged in to summon a portal to put away some beers I had been making when I looked down and saw a bunny next to my mule in Marketplace. As I tabbed back to take the portal, the bunny disappeared... he had taken my portal. I went thru the portal and suddenly bunnies of all sorts started to appear around me. This was a little frightening, and then they vanished. Then Twilight Rabbits appeared and charged me. I ran and hid in the villa, Wearing my bathrobe, beret and white bunny slippers, I was not exactly prepared to fight.
I thought I was being stalked by the rabbits. At first people didn't believe me. Then as I was taking the last of the beer to the chests, rabbits spawned and surrounded the villa. I ran to the basement to chest the beer and find some safety... Only to discover a rabbit in the basement. I fled to Candeth Keep and the safety of the tree to get my armor on and buff. Imagine the surprise as bunnies appeared on the platform up the tree.
With some help I fled to Hub aka Abandoned Mines, to try to escape the bunnies.... As we sat and chatted about where to go... imagine Shogunz's surprise as the room filled with rabbits and bunnies. One poor soul had portaled in to travel somewhere and they were trapped in the room with us as the door in hub had reappeared. We battled them! Then just as suddenly as it started, the rabbits vanished and the door vanished. I fled towards Arwic in a panic. We killed every rabbit we came across, just to be safe.... Suddenly, carrots and carrot cake appeared... never a good sign!
Soon more rabbits and multiple pookies appeared. Shogunz, Southern Yankee and myself tried to battle them. Then they vanished... As I begged for more help on General, and tried to get people to believe that yes, indeed, this was happening... Giant Pillars of Fire appeared in a ring around us.... I did what any smart Chef would do as I was hit with fire... I ran! Southern Yankee fought valiantly, but the fires were too much. Then some Divine Virindi appeared... Bunnies in league with the Virindi?! More people came to help and the battle was joined... but the rabbits had other plans... I found myself portaled high above Teth and floating gently to the ground. Suddenly more rabbits attacked. As I let people know where I was screaming HALP in my best 10 yr old girl voice, I battled the bunnies... As the team arrived I found myself portaled by evil bunny magic yet again... this would repeat many times... Kryst, Tufa, Aerbax's Holding, Tufa. (click to enlarge)
As the rest of the team ran to Tufa, I battled more rabbits...Thankfully, there was a small lull in the action and people helped me keep my buffs up so I could continue the battle. As we pondered what evil the bunnies had in store for me next, I noticed a small icon on the ground... It was a Lucky White Rabbits Foot!! As each member of the team picked up a Lucky White Foot, they were transported thru dark bunny magic to Teth. I received a Carrot Dagger with a special inscription and a green rabbits foot when I said I was happy because now I could get the title I had always desired... but then I found myself traveling thru dark bunny magic back to Teth... high above the city floating downwards...
As people wondered if it was over the final battle began... Biaka was able to slay the last pookie and gave his life in the process... sadly his ISP dropped him at the same time and he missed out on a bunny orb :(
I am sure there are more details I am leaving out, but I am much too shaken by this experience to go on... So as a warning PLEASE EVERYONE BE VERY CAREFUL AROUND RABBITS AND BUNNIES!
I would like to thank +Turbine Rome - bunny wrangler extraordinaire! Shogunz and Southern Yankee for believing me and not suspecting I have had to many beers and mushrooms... Tromeros, Revolver, Biaka, Gaetano, Miss Busan, MagicPipe II and everyone else who came to aid a Chef in his time of Bunny error!
Oh yeah... I gave up making tons of money from the white rabbits foot to gain the title I had wanted for so very long... Supreme Bunny Master! Why? Cause it made sense to me!
Chef Wubbie - TD - 185th Level 3 School, Tradeskiller, Staffer... Main Character... refining Gimped to a whole new level!
Weird Happenings in EO!
Alza's Mage of VT reports: "I was down in Eggs Orchard early morning on March 31st. All of a sudden a sunflower spawned. At first I thought someone ran by and dropped it, but then I ID'd it and in the ID it said, "Hi Alza's Mage." I didn't say anything at first, then I ID'd the flower again and it said, "You are so cold Alza's mage." After chatting for a while with it, I asked it how it survived down in ER. It came to it being a carnivore and a summoner all in one. It wanted to eat me...so I asked it to show me its sun first. It said "Okay, you asked for it." A few minutes later a Fire Pillar spawned right behind it. I fought it for a bit, but before I could kill it, it vanished. (click to enlarge)
After a few more minutes of it wanting to eat me, I told Iz (a fellow member) to come to me. He did and everything vanished. We talked to it for a bit seeing if Iz could "play" too. Finally it came back, spawned a rabbit, then ate it. It then gave me a Lucky White Rabbits Foot saying they were the leftovers. Iz wanted an Orb of Bunny Booty after the flower spawned a bunch of White Rabbits (pookie), so the Flower told him to kill me and he'd get it. He said he would after a few of my protests. The flower told him to announce to the world he wants to kill me. He did, and a few seconds later I died.

I ran back down the dungeon to loot my corpse and hopefully get Iz killed. I ID'd my corpse and it said Corpse of Alza's Mage. Killed by Iz. As Iz struck the final blow he said, "TWAS not my friend." Well after seeing that I had to get Iz killed. So I pleaded for vengeance, and it came. Sin e Iz was so "Cold hearted" the flower sent Iz a long way away. He took the Teth drop. He came back and The flower announced it was time to leave, so we said our goodbyes, and with a final "I shall spread my seeds far" the flower was gone and Little Green Seeds spawned all over the ground. All in all a fun morning on AC. (click to enlarge)
Thanks for reading my little adventure. Great site Maggie, I've used it for a long time. :D"
Mad Cows on the Loose
Jobu Uboj The Green of SC sends a report of Mad Cows in Hebian-To! April Fool's Day has begun!

Tanada House of Pancakes
Dakmor Kavu of HG reports: "Heya Maggie!! It's April Fools and Mad Cows are running amuck on HG! In addition, the pancake house is now open!
Today in Shoushi one may now visit the "Tanada House of Pancakes"!! There is no level restriction and to enter, simply talk to the Chow Doun, who can be found next to the portal. He will ask you to seek out one who has stolen his cooking ingredients. You may choose also to get a special knife from him that can aid in the slaying of any cooking related monsters if you wish. (click to enlarge)
Once flagged, simply enter the portal and let the laughs begin!! You'll be fighting past level 7-14 critters, from Pancake golems to the new Pink Nanjou Shou-jen Ninjas armed with throwing pancakes!! In the entrance room there are a number of "empty plates" as well, which if you use them, will offer you the chance to steal some pyreals!! (I got around 14-19 per try lol). When you are ready to begin your search for the stolen goods, simply talk to Gladys the Golem Waitress ("the hostess with the mostess" as her title proclaims). She will ask for a small amount of pyreals, then portal you with "paid in full".
(click to enlarge)
In the dungeon you fill find more cooking related monsters, and eventually you will stumble across Pon Mi. The room he is in is littered with his corpses, and when you kill him they will all come to life, but fear not they are relatively harmless. On his body you will find his confessions. Take them back to Chow Doun to receive your XP reward!! (the confession is on a 24 hour timer so get it while you can!!)" (click to enlarge)
Hulking Bunny Slippers
Flandamier of LC reports: "Hey Maggie! Went to Tou-Tou with a couple of friends killing cows and other stuff when a white rabbit spawned out of no where! After a long battle, we finally killed it. On the corpse was a bunny orb, son of pookie gem, and a Pooky Token. After IDing the token it said to turn it in to Larry the Rabbit Master (2.0N, 41.6E). After turning in the token I got the following message:
You give Larry the Rabbit Master Pooky Token. Larry the Rabbit Master tells you, "What's this? A token for killing one of those despicable leaf munchers?" Larry the Rabbit Master tells you, "You Sir, should be rewarded for your agricultural beneficence!" Larry the Rabbit Master says, "You hear that you rabbits! We have a Fuzzy Bunny Slayer here! Better hop on out of here now or else!"
Thanks to Baebarri and Magi of the Rose in the discovery and help with this."
David the Mage Bear of SC reports: "Group of us on SC did the Son of Pookie quest tonight. Along the way in the dungeon we found a Hulking Bunny (did not get a SS). We killed it, all got a token and I got a hulking bunny pelt.
Turned the token into Larry the Bunny Master, he told us this: Larry the Rabbit Master says, "You hear that you rabbits! We have a Fuzzy Bunny Slayer here! Better hop on out of here now or else!"
I then went to Lytelthorpe, found William Witty (per the instructions on the pelt, and got this from him:
William Witty tells you, "My, oh my! Just look at the size of this thing!" William Witty tells you, "You say this rabbit was protecting the others? I've heard just about every rabbit story there is to tell, but this one takes the carrot cake!" William Witty tells you, "I'm no April's Fool, you must have stitched this pelt together from smaller rabbit skins..." William Witty tells you, "Hmm, no seams. I just can't get over how darn big this thing is. Ok, give me a minute and I'll have some ridiculously large slippers for you." William Witty tells you, "There ya go! One Hulking Pair of Bunny Slippers. Since you had so much pelt to work with I did some fancy stitch-work and made another rabbit face for the second slipper. Happy hunting and good speed!"
He also gave me these: Hulking Bunny Slippers, AL 50, Jahannan's Blessing, Major Sprint, Saladur's Blessing, Lore 225, Value 0, 500 BU"
