<DIV><FONT size=4>A work party entered the forest at Ravens Fort</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>It was a small group watching carefully for marauders and
unfriendly spies</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The group worked hard in clearing the land</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>They encounter no enemies, no scouts were seen lurking
about</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Many trips were made back and forth</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Hauling the debris to the giant fire pile</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>They finally took a break so Runa wouldn't fall
over</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>A nice breeze sprang up to cool the weary group</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>One (who shall remain nameless but his initials are
VlodNotVlad) returned to the woods</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>He carried his trusty chainsaw that had given him fits more
than once this day</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>We hear some strange sounds coming from the woods</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>When an inquiry was made the response was even
stranger</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>There was muttering about a snake trying to spy out the
land</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>It seems it crawled into the saw in some strange
manner</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>It was stuck...(insert chainsaw noise)...Is it still
there?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Yes...(insert more chainsaw noise)...Still there?
Yes!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>So the former Zorcon decided to step in and offer his
help</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>The one who shall remain nameless (his other initials are
Marius) exited the woods</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>A snake of horrible proportions was dangling from a
twig</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>This vicious brute that assaulted the chainsaw exceeded 6" in
length</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>It gave its all in defending its turf</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>It suffer mortal wounds and was dispatched to snake
heaven</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Its demise should be a lesson to those who seek to find
Defender's weaknesses</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>All will be dealt with in the manner most befitting their
crimes</FONT></DIV>
