Pinky the Pony

Speaking of ponies, I just had to post some sketches of a recent visit by another pony to our fair town. The gods can sometimes be difficult for mere mortals to understand.

As readers of my scrolls know, I often pray to the gods for my very own pony. Sometime before Bawkmas, Santa Chicken appeared, and I asked him for a pony. Soon after, a beautiful rainbow-colored pony with a horn on his forehead appeared in town. I was so excited, but this pony began killing everything in its path, even the strongest of fighters. I tried to approach him, but he felled me as well. He was a War Pony!

At first I was upset and sought to understand the gods' purpose. I prayed and prayed for them to make the pony peaceful. At last they heard my prayers, and the pony became calm and tame.

He followed a group to south farms and nibbled some grass and flowers, then followed us through the pf to the meadow. He seemed to like the meadow very much -- although Tepper Azur wasn't too happy to see a pony in his secret place!

After a little while, the pony -- whom we had renamed Pinky -- galloped off into the trees. The gods gave us to understand that he would be happy in the forest.

I have been grateful for my encounters with these beautiful ponies but remain confused by the aggressive killer ponies that have invaded our town. I still hope one day to truly have a pony of my own.

Tsrrin Fun

It sure was an eventful Feast this year! One really fun change was that some of the costumes were spread around through the lands, so you had to quest a bit to find some of them. Of course I spent a great deal of time dressed as a pony.

I also went on a Pony Valley Hunt that was fun...

In other news, I'd also like to congratulate Peril for passing the third-level fighter test.
