<DIV>This news flash is brought to you by: "Abbott's Winery"
"High price of beer got you down? Well don't worry, 'Abbott's Abbey and
Winery' is here to fill your drinking needs. Don't grape about the
high cost of beer--switch to wine. It'll get you just as drunk just as
fast, and remember, if you over indulge, Abbott's has extended their half
price sale on indulgences for another week. So drink up. You'll be
forgiven. Remember, you can have your sin and drink it too at
Abbott's."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>And now the news.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It may be good news for those who are worried that Trelac
and Bonwicke may go to war over the construction of the Bonwicke wall.
We have just learned that the war machines of both Trelac and Bonwicke have
both coincidentally and simultaneously broken down. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It seems that the trouble with Trelac's war machine is a worn out
baron. In the case of Bonwicke the problem seems to be a broken chiang
drive. The militea of Bonwicke are still trying to come
to Agrippa with the problem of the broken chiang drive, but at this
time replacement chiangs are not available even at <BR>"The
Wall Mart." </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The outlook for a repair of Trelac's war machine may be somewhat
more optimistic. Robert MacHine, local blacksmith from Trelac
thinks that applying some Di Greasi to the worn out baron will
correct Trelac's problem. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Only time will tell whether either Trelac or Bonwicke can repair their
war machines in time for an impending war, or whether worn out barons and
broken chiangs may lead to peace once again prevailing the former western
region. Meanwhile, grain and beer shortages, foreign competition and
inflammatory slogans on walls make for a continuing tense situation within the
western region of Ansteorra.</DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR>
