In Depth :
The 14th day of the 10th month in the year 309.

Most if not all of us were witness to something quite strange, bizarre even. Everyone in TS, led by none other than Headflinger himself, was doing the Nekkid Lobster dance. I was quite impressed but remained in the shadows as they all pranced about the square. Strangely enough, not a drop of ale was to be seen.

Now on to the real news:

A rumbling sound was heard and ugly varmits normally seen only in the sewers crawled, slithered and wandered into Town Square. There were manrats, and slimes, lizards and grubs. While fighting these most foul beasts, the townsmen around us began to scream and run for safety as the ground began to shake. So violent was the earth's tremble that we all lost our footing and fell down, at this some of us gasped while others gleefully laughed. The still foul water in the fountain begain to roil then, splashing all who stood to close to it. Zuril, seeing a few droplets of water heading right at him, soared into the air apparently afraid his scales would get wet. Headflinger howled and even Chasdity let loose with a chaotic sounding little snicker. Suddenly a noise was heard from the Southeast and Ariakasterrende headed in that direction to investigate, returning seconds later only to growl before then heading East. Cecilonor, not about to let something like an earthquake out rumble him, rumbled louder than I have ever heard a Drake rumble before.

The sewer creatures we had all killed long before began to twitch and move as life returned to them. We killed them again, and again, and again. The only thing visibly damaged was a collapsed secret tunnel that connected to the Taathian temple.

I was informed later that several aftershocks strong enough to knock people down and send the water in the fountain splashing out, continued to roll through Spur.
