Title: Yew Times #14
Author: Yew Town Council
This week, the Yew Times
will be interviewing local
witch, Grizelda and hear
her views on the new
edict concerning the
Halloween period extension.
Our reporter has made
his way over to a rather
run down residence past
several odd signs stating
"Gingerbread house ahead."
TY: Excuse me maam, I
am with the Yew Times
and I was hoping to get
a word with you regarding
the recently changes in
the Halloween schedule.
G: Well, I'm rather BUSY at the moment.. YT: It won't take but a few moments. G: Well, come in already. As I said, I have a lot of preparations to make. YT: You mean, regarding the change in the holiday schedule? G: Yes. Now that everything is starting almost a whole month earlier and running until the end of the month, I have less time to get ready, since everyone will probably be tired of the whole thing in 2 weeks. YT: I noticed the signs for the gingerbread house along the path leading here, were you planning to magically transform this house into gingerbread somehow? G: Signs? I have no idea what you're talking about. I bet it's some kind of prank. You know how some of these kids are. Just a bunch of rascals. YT: I see you have a bunch of apples over here, probably ready for the trick or treat bags. G: Actually, those are for the apple bobbing game over here. YT: But, that's a cauldron. G: I'm trying to go with the theme, you see. YT: That is a mighty large oven you have. It looks brand new. G: I just had it installed. That is for.. um.. all the baking I have planned. Cookies, cakes and all that. I sure am going to be BUSY! YT: Are all those wooden cages in the corner, part of the Halloween festivities? G: Let's see... That is for..TRAPPING THE IMPS AND TROUBLESOME GOBLINS! That's it! You don't want them showing up and ruining a good time. Let me tell ya! YT: And that's quite a lot of boxes of instant stuffing you have set out here on the counter. Stove Top stuffing..."for CHILDREN?!" G: I'm sure that's a typo. It's supposed to be "for chicken" YT: and what about these decorative roast frills? They look big enough to put on the drumsticks of a roast ostrich. G: Well, look at the time. Well, it was nice having you stop by for a visit. And mind the trap door on your way out. Very BUSY here! YT: Well, thank you for your time. YT: And there you have it. Witches working overtime getting ready for the new schedule. Surely, many witches will be similarly affected, but we're certain that it will not disrupt celebrations overall.
Britannia today mourns
the passing of one of
her most cherished and
loved personalities,
Ratcatcher Tim. Tim was
a gentle soul, fondly
remembered for his
outgoing nature and
colorful smile likened to
that of a stained glass
window with its many
greens, browns, and golds
lined with black etching.
Ever he would impress an
audience with his
ratcatching skills, worming
his way under houses and
through barn rafters,
deftly catching vermin;
sometimes without the
use of his hands. He
would then tie his catch
to his cane pole and
entertain the children
with a little rat dance or
chorus line. Tim will be
fondly remembered for his
service and indomitable
spirit in ridding our
towns of pestilince so
that we can live in good
health. We thank you
Ratcatcher Tim. Rest in
Peace.
Are you tired of the
same old worn-out,
weathered, wooden leg
that all the unfortunate
pirates and seafarers are
wearing? If that's the
case, then perhaps it's
time you took a look at
Peg's Legs. Peg's Legs
offers a grand selection
of ornate and stylishly
carved whalebone legs
that will turn heads when
you walk by. Tell the
tales of your sea days
beautifully illustrated in
an etched scrimshaw
design, or step out and
show off your finer
taste with an intricately
crafted piece that looks
more woven than carved.
Every one is durable and
will last for decades,
because they won't
weather in the salty
brine air, and that's a
promise. Every piece is a
winner, but only one is
just right for you. So,
hobble on in, and we'll
find the right accessory
for you.
Travellers Tips: When
travelling in wilderness
regions where you are
bound to encounter
headless ones. Take care
not to offend them by
wearing hats or other
head covering which might
upset them. Believed to
be the product of some
mad mage's experiments,
the headless have
suffered at the cost of
never being able to
experience the joy of
wearing a fine peice of
headwear. Thus, wearing a
hat is sure to drive
them into a rage through
sheer envy. So remember,
when in the company of
headless, be thoughthul, go
hatless.
Hi, I'm Harvey Croblink
and I am the entrepeneur
and idea man of
tomorrow. I brought to
Britannia many great
inventions like the Small
Soulforge Display and the
Captain's Wheel Sextant
for the Home. If you are
like me, then you are
probably thinking "Why
are all these elementals
running around freely?"
and "Why aren't they
working for us and
making our lives easier?"
Imagine! A world where
every household has
elementals doing all the
time consuming and costly
chores! Fire elementals
heating your home during
the cold winter, air
elementals cooling your
home in the summer or
even cooling your soup.
Your own water elemental
can be there for bathing
on the go or to clean
off the sidewalks. You
can even ship them
en-masse to arid areas
so people can drink them!
How does that sound for
a solution to the world's
problems? Mom can even
plant seeds in her own
personal earth elemental,
so she can win ribbons in
worldwide flowershow
competitions for her
walking garden. If these
images get your wheels
spinning, then perhaps you
can help me get my idea
off the ground. If you
are interested in providing
funds to make this dream
possible, I will be staying
this week at the Ironwood
Inn, right outside of
Vesper. Please leave a
message on the bulletin
board with your address
if I am unavailable, and I
will arrange to meet you
personally. Thank you for
your time.
