The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Oh. I heard you mention this earlier. What has happened? I do hope evenaive is not in any kind of danger!

Well I hope the same, maybe I can confide in you both while I have you alone?

Of course my dear Frost fairy. I shall hum quietly so none but us three can decipher our words.

Well it was a peaceful night last night as usual, I lay listening to the tree's of Wibbly wood brush against the windows, then as though in a dream I heard something quite out of the ordinary, couldn't quite place it. I arose to investigate, standing outside munchkin manor the air was icy, not like its usual muggy thick atmosphere, although cold myself, I still felt a sinister chill.
I looked around the manor, and i discovered what could only of been ice frosted upon the window ledge and against the pane. I was confused for a moment then it hit me, there is only one place and only one person who would dare venture so close to our home and leave an icy trail, I fear my mother has discovered my survival, and may be up to something. No fear, eve will be safe, no matter what happens, I am sure she is only interested in me. But I may need to venture out soon, before it's too late. Maybe another drink please Urat.

What is going on here? I'd like a brandy, and I'll buy it for myself this time, I've had a good run on the cards. Oh, I'm planning to head to the Dudrassa Ports in the morning dear lady, but must continue my game as I'm on a winning streak. Oh had brief chat to that knight, what a sour glum old puss. Miserable wretch, didn't even speak, buried his face in his book, scribbling away. Lovely daisies Urat. What is that weird humming? Hmmm I can see you're busy, I shall go away. Bring me a brandy when you can, there's a good man!

Yes Darius, one moment please. This is indeed grave news. What can we do? I'm afraid I have no powers to fight against her, I'm just a simple tavern owner, and my sword fighting days are long gone, and my bulk reduces my speed in any kind of battle, arm wrestling is my limit. Hmm, Can we not make peace with her? May the Zoriat Gods prevent her from harming you and freezing over the mire, that would kill almost everything warm bloodied. Perhaps Kalvos could contact the Red Hand and raise a militia?

All I know at the moment Urat is that she is in poor health,I learned this from the Drumlins. With me being her one and only heir. It's all I have to go on. But I have no idea of the lengths that she, or perhaps her minions may go to to prevent me gaining my herritage. Maybe Kalvos would be able to help us in this situation, or would it be wise to keep it under our belts for now?

You are the Key to the Kingdom. Drumlins never lie, the tragedy is that she would still want you destroyed when her life is ebbing away. Surely not. Perhaps she wishes to make amends? Kalvos, he would contact Gideon Drake and involve the Red Hand and the Queen's Elite. They would fight her if she threatened Grimney, but I doubt they would help the mire folk, we are worth little to them. What do you think wed should do? Involve the help of magicians, witches, warlocks and wizards perhaps?

She tried to rid of me once, poison raced through my veins, if it wasn't for the fairies, we would not be in this situation now. I would hate for trouble to be bought upon Grimney. For now I ask that eve may be kept in the dark about this matter, she ponders upon things and this would worry her to the ground. If iI dont have assistance from the red hand and the Queens Elite, then I shall brave it alone. Do we know of a wizard who may be of assistance?

I must return to munchkin manor and protect eve as she sleeps, thank Philomena for her songs and her dancing. Thank you Urat, you have been most understanding. I bid you a fond goodnight.
