Denizens of the Donut,

So, there Stern and I were, having a very heated debate in the wizard's
lounge with Petros and Eowul. We insisted that Tofurkey was vastly less
offensive to people than Turducken, and that we should replace any and
ALL instances of that abomination in the annual Turkey event with the
much milder soy-based alternative. And that's when we heard a knock on
the door.

Death, nursing a martini in the corner, instantly jolted to attention and
insisted that we not answer it. But, we did. A strange fellow entered.
He was all hooded and spooky looking. Death took one look, threw his
drink in the garbage, and left in a huff. No idea what got into him, but
he's been really sulky lately, as I suppose everyone knows. Anyway, this
new guy doesn't say much, but he handed Stern a notice to put up on the
Common Board, and offered Stern some sort of zombified elf roast. Petros,
Eowul and I immediately began to protest, but Stern simply held up a hand
and said, flatly, "The Turkey Event is cancelled. Mercade, can you please
help me get this roast to my workroom? It must weigh a ton!"

*sigh*

Well, that being said ... I guess we've got something else in store for us
this Thanksgiving. Here's the notice I've been cordially required to post.

      |  Greetings to all,                                              |

      |  I am Ebenestus, a dedicated scholar of the Anatomical Arts.    |
      |  Please come and visit me in my tent just northwest of Sparkle  |
      |  in the old abandoned Mercenary campsite. There, I will offer   |
      |  incentives to those who can help me in my goals, which include |
      |  forming a comprehensive catalog of all creatures who roam the  |
      |  lands.                                                         |
      |                                                                 |
      |  These incentives will include a variety of compensations in    |
      |  the form of physical rewards thanks to a generous donation     |
      |  from the Enchanter in Sparkle. In addition, there will be      |
      |  growth opportunities in the forms of both general and quest    |
      |  experience.                                                    |

      |  For more details, come and visit me in my tent. I await you.   |

So, there you have it! Looks like we're not hunting Turkeys this year.
I asked Stern how long the event was going to last, and he said it would
be over once his "Zombie Roast" is gone. Evidently that's the beauty of
the thing - you eat it and it regenerates! I did some asking around in
Mordor, and they figured it would take about 4 weeks, given that Stern
can't control his appetite, and is liable to eat faster than the thing
can regrow.

Also, at the end of the event, awards will be handed out for all of the
usual things: top hunters for many different categories, first finders,
etc!

Happy Necro-Thanksgiving!

Gorboth, on behalf of Stern Uya-Yare and the Event Team
